Impressive - that's ground floor of the online scene.
Congrats on 26 years. These days, that's a remarkable achievement.
Naw, it doesn't matter. It was simply how my wife and I met - hence the thread topic.
Looking back, it was interesting from the perspective that her and I got to know one another through BBS message exchanges for several months before meeting IRL. And when we finally met one night in a local nightclub...it was as if we'd known each other a very long time. We clicked right away as friends - neither of us were really looking for a relationship. It just evolved over time.
And three years later we finally married.Comment

It seems these days that I should be waiting for Prince Charming to arrive on an app. on a white tablet rather then a white horse. :/ Where did the ' normal' way to meet people go?

I think waiting to meet Prince Charming on a white horse became obsolete as we progressed from medieval times.
Times change...people evolve. Technology gives us new opportunities and different options.
Doesn't mean the old 'normal' ways are completely gone, though. Just...diversified.

If he was still alive, it would be 17 years this year. We made it to 8.
I guess I sort of met my current boyfriend online but briefly and years before I accidentally met him for real at an event. Not like the intense online courtship of my husband.Comment

One of my best friends found her wife on orkut. The guy is hungarian, chick is brazilian, guy went to Sao Paolo after 6m of chat+phone, they got married, moved to Hanoi, Vietnam because of the work of the guy. Spent there 2 years than they came back to Hungary. The are not divorced but separated, raising the kid together but the chick fucks other guys. It seems to work somehow.-=- Register with our ref link and we help you with the setup! -=-

I can't imagine meeting someone on the web these days, though. I mean...back in the 'old' days...BBSing was mostly local. Most everyone lived in proximity to one another - making it much easier (and less costly) to meet up.
And maybe it's just me...but BBS people weren't quite as fake as a lot of people on the 'net. Sure, we had a few trolls and fake personnas - but they didn't seem as prevalent. We hosted a few BBS get-togethers back in the day...and with only a few exceptions, most everyone seemed the same IRL as their online personna.Comment

A friend of mine who is getting divorced met the current soon to be ex online. They talked a lot then then he came out here (they were from different states) and saw each other a couple of times before he finally moved out here full time.
They got married and it lasted about 4 years.
The problem was, well, he is a user. When she met him he had no job and told her it was just because he was recently laid off. She paid for him to come see her. Then he moved out here and they got married. It took him almost 2 years to get a job that he then quit after 6 months for some reason. He then tried to convince her that he should just be a house dad. The problem is they don't have any kids together and her 3 from a previous relationship are all grown. The youngest is 16. So by house dad he really means he should be able to stay home and play xbox all day.Comment

Remember when meeting people online was considered so taboo and everyone warned you to be careful?
My oh my how things have changed.
The people I care most about, outside of family, all came about because of my online activity. Either directly or indirectly (like the friends of friends that I met online who became my own friends).Comment
