I met my wife online, but not through any dating service.
We both frequented BB.com where I mod and I helped her with some technical stuff and it just progressed from there.
She is a knockout too.
Two of my best friends have met their wives online but both thru bb sites... and another is engaged... she has been waiting a while as her guy is in iraq.. left shortly after they started talking... so it has been 11/2 years but they will meet when he gets back and plan to marry soon after... they seem really happy.... so seems to have worked out great for them...
I havent tried it yet but ive checked some out.. ya gotta wonder how many of them are messed up though. With my luck i'll pick 'em! Some of them go online just to pick up something casual not a relationship which is cool.
I dated a girl for 6 months I met on msn chat. We were in contact for around 5-6 weeks before i flew down to see her. It just didn't work out in the end as it was too far for me, even though I moved down to her flat.
