Anyone else? - Found love online!!

Mom2BNTN wrote: I was just wondering if anyone else on here found the love of their life online like I did. I met my DH through an internet dating service known as UDate. I had actually joined UDate because at that time it was free for women, but the men still had to pay. I thought I could at least find some interesting people online to chat with and maybe make a few friends. The thought of actually finding someone and falling in love with him never crossed my mind, but low and behold that is exactly what happened. It just goes to show that love can be found online especially when you arent' looking for it!!


Hope to hear from others who may have tried the online dating or know someone who has.

mckayleesmom replied: ...Yes...me and dh actually talked for 5 years online before ever meeting in person...He was my b*%ch about boyfriends to a friend guy.

Mom2BNTN replied:
There is NO other love for me then my DH who was the ONE I met on UDate. We still laugh about how we met and can't wait to tell our kids...however, by the time our kids get to the dating age meeting people online will be old news. *LOL*


I was just curious if anyone else had met their DH's online or if not where???

Mom2BNTN replied:
Did your family and friends give you a hard time about talking to someone online? Mine did and then when we had decided to meet for the first time my family freaked out!! Once they met him though they could see the good I found in him and finally let their guard down.

To me it was just easier to meet people online then trying to meet them the old fashioned way. I'm not into clubs or bars so I felt like my options were limited. I'm glad it has also worked out for your FIL and his fiance. I'm sure they make such a cute couple....

mckayleesmom replied:
Actually...Only my mom knew for a while....I told the rest of my family that I knew him through a friend because of that reason. Funny though because one time my mom was standing over my shoulder when I was talking to him online and she asked who he was and I told her that it was the man I was going to marry someday...and I didn't meet him for 2 more years.

luvmykids replied:
We gave FIL a hard time when he went online but only because he was so anal about it, he had trouble keeping them straight and had notebooks everywhere with what he liked and didn't like about them! But not for the concept itself, I think it's great. And we had no doubts about her at all.

Mom2BNTN replied:

Ohhhh......yes! We always seem to know when we have found the RIGHT ONE!!

mckayleesmom replied: I also want to clarify something too...I didn't just go off and meet someone off the internet and wouldn't advise anyone to do so without doing thier homework first. I had a backround check done and I spoke with his family before going out there. My mother also spoke with his mother before I went down there. Yes I was 21 years old, but it is still important to be safe.

Mom2Boyz replied: Dh and I met through a yahoo chat room I had just moved here, and didn't know anyone, so I spent alot of time online. We talked a few times, and he asked me out a few times and I told him no. Finally after a couple of months I decided to give him a chance and we've been together ever since

luvmykids replied: I meant to add that FIL and his fiance lied about it forever, even though we all knew how they'd really met. They used the she-had-a-flat-and-he-helped-her-on-the-side-of-the-road story.

Mom2BNTN replied:
I think it is so sweet how supportive and understanding you all were about it!!

Mom2BNTN replied:
Too funny!!

Mom2BNTN replied:
I'm so glad it all worked out for you!!

coasterqueen replied: I know a few members of ours who have joined online places to get dates but they always seem to get the worst ones. DH and I knew a couple that we went on trips with several years back, way back actually, and the woman met someone online, left her husband for him and took her child with her - moved to another state. THAT was a shocker for us and for her husband.

luvmykids replied:
From the people I know who do it, they say at the beginning it's hard to weed out the weirdos, liars, cheaters, etc. but that they got a feel for it. BIL still has a good story or two on a regular basis though. I don't know what we'd laugh about without his online dating tales!

3_call_me_mama replied: DH and I met online through Match.com.
We emailed a couple times. Talked on teh phone once adn then met at a public place (Walden Pond) and went for a walk, then had lunchin a nearby restaurant and then went to teh movies. 2 months later we were engaged. And married 7 month after that. I wouldn't trade it for any relationship I've ever had!!!! By far teh best

mckayleesmom replied: We were married 7 months after we met.....and we will be going on 4 years in September being married.

luvmykids replied:
Do you think their profile quiz thing really helps? I'm trying to talk BIL into signing up there.

Mom2BNTN replied: Great love stories everyone!! Thanks for sharing them.

I don't know if the profile questions really help the internet site pick out the best matches, because my DH wasn't even on my list! We share so much and complete each other sentences all the time. It is so good to feel that close to someone that you know what they are thinking.

CAMSMOM1 replied: I had a bad experience with online dating. Justin and I were broken up, for about 6 months. And I decided I wanted to date other guys. So I went to Christian dating service online, and I met this "great" guy. He and I talked every night on the phone, shared photos, ect. He seemed like a true Christian, and a sincere man. Then he started telling me he "loved" me, and he wanted to meet me. He lives in Michigan, and I'm in California. At that point, we had been talking for 2 months, and things were going really good. So I agreed. He bought the next plane ticket here, and my Dad (who I was living with at the time) agreed that he could stay with us. When Justin (my ex at the time) found out about this, he came to my apt. and proposed. Ha...I wasn't ready to have 2 guys fight for me.

When he got here,(the internet guy) it was a litttle aqward at first, but after a few hours, we were back to normal. He met my family, we all went out to dinner, we kissed, all that good stuff.
Since he had never been to California, I decided to take him to the beach, which he has never seen the ocean. We stayed with my Grandparents, who live 5 min. from the ocean. Then I got my Grandparents approval. Then we went to this resort on the ocean cliffs, and he asked for a brocure for weddings there, and said HE WANTED TO MARRY ME! I was taken back, and I didn't have a good feeling about it.
Ok, this is getting long. Sooooo....the scary/weird part is....he decided to open up to me and tell me his inner most secrets.
And he admitted that he loves to dress in WOMEN'S CLOTHING...and he gets turned on by it! He wanted to dress in my clothes, ect. Wow...man....I'm not into that freaky stuff!!!
Needless to say, he was on the next plane ride home! And I haven't heard from his since.

And the min he got on that plane, I realized I was still madly in love with Justin. And we got back together & engaged, and madly in love ever since!

I'm sure there are some great guys online, but of course I ended up with a CROSS DRESSER!!!!Just my luck!

Mom2BNTN replied: Ann - You did happen to get one of many strange people I am sure are online, however it did make you realize how much you loved Justin. Also, it sounds to me like it also opened Justin's eyes about his relationship with you and made him also realize how much he loved you and therefore ended up in a marriage proposal. Sounds like everything worked out as it was meant to be.

Yeah I think it does. We weer 73% compatible , Which was good in my mind. If we weer 100% compatible I htink it would have led to a boring relationshp. And less thatn 50 % would have been too stressful. I really like how the pictures and profiles are send to you with who's compatible and you are also free to browse the whole site. it was kind of odd though cause i was lookign at his profile thinking "he's cute" and then liek 2 minutes later there was an email form him in my inbox.. WIERD!!
