I had met my ex on the internet, a dating site.
We first chatted a lot online and turned out to have very similar tastes in film which was great. She thought of me as more physically attractive than other men that responded. It really seems a very personal thing. She cheated on me eventually and got stuck in various lies, also had problems growing up and becoming loose from her parents.

But the bottom line is that I was just lucky. You can potentially send well written messages to 100s of girls on dating sites and still almost never get responses. If you're ever as lucky to get a date there's still a big chance of failure. That's life. We have to accept that it sucks by itself and try to make it better for ourselves.

Finding a mate, be it online or anywhere else, is extremely random, complicated, difficult, frustrating and depressing. Why do billions of men and women have to struggle and suffer without it leading to anything? It's all a big joke and not even funny. Despite this I'll keep trying because, at 32, the desire is still strong.

I met my ex online in a game. It was random luck at meeting someone 40 miles from me on a Korean online game, particularly someone over 30 like me. The ultimate result was devastating but that would have happened regardless of how we met.

I seriously doubt I will ever have this happen again.

The game thing did let us chat a lot before we met and it wasn't all working up to a date.

The online dating sites...didn't work out for me...seems there is so much "feeling out" and being picky that just actually meeting and seeing how it goes becomes too difficult. I found myself losing interest before I ever met the person.

I met my ex on a dating site and he was a con man with two mames. After moving in with me he gave up his job and I found out he was on loads od dating sites and very active.

i met my ex boyfriend who is the second best boyfriend i've ever had. dont have anything bad to say about him.
i met him on a hot line. i met him one night and 20 minutes later we had sex. he stayed with me for three years, he was that emotional supportive guy. i was over sensitive and he babied me. i can call him at any time for a pleasant conversation.
but all of your stories are nice. what are the odds!

Just be careful if you ever meet a guy named Marcus Baxter that is not his real name.

Wow you guys are brave.

I get asian women from japan talking to me, i always assume they are some hacher going to hack me and i often end the conversation early.

i did meat one girl, we clicked
we both liked beer
we both loved simpsons, stargate, southpark.
we both loved rockk
and we both ride motorbikes

then from reading the text the person spoke very male, so i thought this is gona be a Some large fella called frank.
and again i decided to cut the conversation.

words like " Going of for a pint with da geezas "
But i often wonder if it was really a woman,
plus profile picture was toooooo nice

I met my boyfriend on a dating website. After about six months of talking on the phone, we met and eventually decided to marry. I moved from three hours away to live with him and his two sons to find out that he and one of his sons are sociopaths while the other son is bipolar ... the same as my boyfriend's exwife. I spent two long years alone in his home during the day and endured two years of yelling, screaming and violence during the evenings and weekends. His ex wife of 14 years was so emotionally damaged from him that she left him for an illegal mexican who has no teeth and is already married to a woman in mexico. I cannot endure this much longer...want to die just to get away. My advice...the internet allows people misrepresentation. Dating in person is a much better way to determine someone's sincerity, morals, ethics and humanity. Online dating ... just don't do it.
