People look at you strange when you tell them that you met on the internet. But it works if both parties are honest from the beginning. My best friend met her husband online and my sisters friend met her fiance online. I really think it's more and more common.
Well I rambled on.
Take Care,

Re: Anyone meet there spouse or fiance online?
I met my wife online - we play the same online role playing game (Asherons Call)
We knew each other to say hi to ingame for about a year, then one day started chatting around last October (Oct 2002 that is!!).
She was in Paris in December so I flew over from the UK and met her and there was such a huge spark everyone there could see it from a mile away =)
I flew out to see her in Jan/Mar/May and moved out here in August.. married on October 12th last year =)

My best friend did meet his fiance on the internet though, so I absolutely believe its possible!

Re: Anyone meet there spouse or fiance online?
Sid and I met online......I was planning to go to a "divorced room" but got into a "Native American" chat room instead. My internet connection was so slow and I typed a "hello, I am from Germany". He answered it was ok and asked questions about my home country....thats how it all started. Physically we met after more than 6 months of daily online contact. Our marriage happened 5 months after my first visit to meet him. I went there 3 times (within 6 months...on VWP), he will be in Germany in a few weeks, his 3rd time within 6 months.
I have learned a lot about his beautiful personality...online and in person. He is always there for me, reliable, witty and humourous. When we finally met....I thought he was even better (concerning looks, his charming ways ....) than I had ever imagined.....a breathtaking event and surprise.
As a mature (by age and experience) bi-national couple.....where would we have met otherwise?

Re: Anyone meet there spouse or fiance online?
We sort of did.
We were both members of a message board (not unlike this one, but travel-related) and knew each other as friends. We liked movies, discussed similar topics and had a friendly banter going on.
In one meetup, where several of us from that board attended, we clicked immediately and started dating.
Our online relationship was not a romantic one, but we probably would've never met in person or begun dating were it not for our friendship on that website. It was a very welcome concept to match the attractive person with the fantastic chemistry in person, with the online username that was so familiar and friendly:
"Hey bequibar, nice to finally meet you! I'm The_Newt."
"YOU are The_Newt??? Well, let me come right over and sit by you then!"

I met my hubby online almost 7 years ago in a chatroom on MIRC. We chatted online for 1 year and decided that we must meet each other. We both knew that we were tailor made for each other since we had similar personalities and interests. We met in July of '98 and we have been together ever since, minus the time we spent in seperate countries waiting on immigration to come through. After many Chats, Phonecalls, Emails, Filed forms, Bucks paid, Immigration hoops & hurdles, and Hours standing in line at our local USCIS office, here we are together and hopefully free of USCIS for the next 10 years.

Re: Anyone meet there spouse or fiance online?
I and my American husband met on-line. I think it is one of the best ways to develope relationship in this busy modern world. Also I think it is also very practical, because you have huge amount of possibilities to meet the person you are seeking for, because you can correspond with all the world!:-))

Sandy and I met in a quaint little Mexican restaurant in the town where she lives, but oh thank god for the internet.
We talk daily on the phone also, thank heavens for cheap phone cards too.

I hate to think of the amount of money it's cost us both to be involved LD.

I'm trying to figure out how your bills are so high.
We talk everyday, and for at least an hour. Sandy uses a calling card from www.pinzoo.com and I use goold ol' post office calling cards.
I reckon we spend about $150 a month tops. (couldnt find the pound key on this damn American laptop)
