Internet Relationships....

Many times we have discussed internet realtionships, especially long distance relationships, and whether they can work out.

Today I met a lady who just moved into my neighborhood. She was telling me how she had met her now husband on the internet five years ago.

She was from Conneticut and he is from Kentucky. They have been married for three years now. She said he is the best thing that has ever happened to her. She is delighted to have relocated to Kentucky and is looking forward to her new life here in their first house.

I guess sometimes love does find a way and things just fall into place. It's nice to hear a true story of internet dating that has a happy ending.

I have a friend who met a man from another state. They are married now about 4 years and very happy. They met on an internet site...I also know another two women who met their husbands on an internet site and are very happy...
I've tried internet dating and met some very nice men...noone I would spend my life with but nice.
Maybe I should try other states....maybe that's the secret...

I really don't think the state matters, although I do like a Southern Gentlemen. I think it's more about two people who have common wants, needs and goals in life.

I think we'll continue to see more people coupled up who first met online. It's a viable option, and becoming very acceptable. If you meet someone here, and take the time to get to know him/her and confirm your feelings, what does it matter where you met?

I found that the Alaska address I had made internet relationships difficult to impossible, since NO I don't buy your plane tickets to pursue something with me. LOL I always hoped I would be the answer to some retired man's dream of having a gal in his life with a nice home in the heart of a fishing and hunting paradise and we'd get together seasonally, if nothing else.

Oh well.... You know how everything happens for a reason? Same thing goes for the things that don't happen...there's a reason!

Red, is a Southern gentleman more gentlemanly than any other gentleman? In that case the guys Honeybee meets in the Far North must be serious rudos, eh?
But seriously...sharing thoughts, exchanging ideas, forming friendships, debsting this and that, is sort of more what I'm here for, and the Web is good for that. I like mental contact , the sense of someone's mind, and you can do that here just as well as out on the streets, don't you think? True, it's not like being in the room with them, but how many people can you fit in a room at one time? I've met more people here in the last week than I have in the meat world in three or four months. Well, maybe I just live in a boring town...
How many people in Alaska would I know otherwise?
This site we're on is full of people who met someone face to face, struck those old sparks, and lived to bitterly regret it. Maybe if they clicked keyboards for a while first instead of gazing into those big soulful eyes, they'd have had a better sense of who was really in there. That's what I'm here to find out from people -- who's really in there.
Just a few devil's advocate type thoughts late at night -- okay, one more: Somebody I know here has on her profile page, as the very first sentence: "I complete myself --you are a gift." That's the way to be.

Oh, I really like that one, ghost. I might have to borrow that saying because I really believe that. My son and his wife found each other on the internet. I'm sure it was a site for professional people.....he's an attorney and she's a doctor. But, hey, who am I to cast aspersions on anyone else's choices. Whatever works!

Well, as I said, mallard, it's not my saying, but I'd call it a really good place to start from. A person who's not complete within themself and thinks they need someone else to make them whole will probably never be whole, just dependent.

What I'm afraid of is becoming too, too independent GW~~ there has to be a happy medium.

It's about keeping your own center, tx. You can share, and bond, and love as an act of freedom, a gift. How much of your life belongs to you and how much to everyone else?
