how we all met

[venusfire503 54]

I saw some threads about USCIS checking up on people's Facebook/MySpace pages, and about how some people met on those sites. Since I'm procrastinating right now, I thought I'd create a poll about meeting.

Just for the record, since I've never done this before, I don't know if it will work or not. Even if I did it correctly, I don't know if I'll get a chance to 'vote'.

My SO and I met online in MySpace in May 2006. He first sent me a message on MySpace. After several days, we then moved the conversations to Yahoo IM and MSN IM. After about 6 weeks, I went to visit him the first time. We got lucky, and things moved along quickly. He was here and we were married about 8 months after the first message he sent me.

I hope this is fun for everyone.

Good luck to everyone on your journey.

sigh...moved from off topic to general polls

moved because it's a poll. and this poll looks quite familiar to a few other polls in general polls.....

Why the big sigh, Charles? I know we keep on beating the same dead horses over and over again but.....it is what it is.

By the way, Ben is just about the cutest baby I have ever seen, really! I want to send Nessa that message every time I see his picture.

Online, but through a mutual friend, and not on a dating/social network site. We got married 2 years to the day that we decided we wanted to attempt to date, but we hadn't actually started dating....

Poll flawed. Middle question does that give option of "met in person".

I put less than 3 months since we met in person while working at the same restaurant in London....but really we met in person at the same time we met in person, so that makes no sense...but anyway........

Met in person, by chance. We were both working at the same club in London. Knew each other for about 9 months before we started dating, dated for 1 year before we got engaged, we've been engaged about a year (waiting on his divorce decree which he originally filed for in 2005!)

we are the same as marina-del met in person by chance while i was training for a fight at the camp where he was a trainer. knew eachother 3 months before dating, engaged at 8 months married at just over 3 years.

Same here, we met in person, by chance when i was a trainer in india for 6 months. we got married 23 months after our first meeting. wow, hard to believe 2 years have passed!!

I was looking for contacts in Costa Rica to give me the lay of the land. Wife contacted me, and I played along. She caught me. Never did make any contacts in Costa Rica.

Sorry - I don't usually look through all sections of VJ... just got the idea from some posts I read... didn't realize it was more or less a repeat... Also saw that it's a flawed poll - sorry about that, too. Got a lot on my mind right now.

Not a good day for me overall.

Well, that would be "less than 3 months" then!

Good luck waiting for the divorce decree. It's amazing how long the whole divorce process takes (and it's never really over when there are kids involved, it seems). Um, if the divorce was filed in 2005, I would think the decree would have come by now. Yikes! I hope he can figure all of that out. Waiting is bad enough without something else interfering. I hope everything works out soon for you. Best of luck.

[Marilyn. 340]

I said met online but not on a dating site -- of course, it wasn't on a social networking site either - it was on a game. Which we have both played since 2002....

I remember our similar conversations - and the agonizations of actually entering into an international relationship and the whole "where is this REALLY going to go?!" Seems like many couples on here would have similar thoughts...we hadn't even heard of the K1 before he started looking for what he needed to do to visit the states. We had one of those embarrassed giggles over even considering a "fiance" visa before we had even met in person. We determinedly did not research further for nearly a year.
