I was living with my dad in Florida during school breaks and my boyfriend at the time broke up with me, I didn't really know anybody else do I signed up to a dating site to get over him and to meet new people in the area...that'd where I met my husband. It was s long road for us with me moving, him moving, then us both moving together to nc when he joined the army...we got married almost a year ago, have a 7 month old son together...it definitely does happen. I couldn't be any happier!

We didn't meet in person for nearly three years AFTER he asked me to marry him... we were friends in an online gaming community and I was having a very rough time and John asked if he could call me... after that we talked on the phone once a week, then daily for hours at a time. He was semi-engaged to a Canadian girl (yes girl, she was barely 21 and he was nearly 40) but the Canadian realised that they were far too different and dumped him, and I was there to pick up the pieces. He asked me to marry him in August 2000 and I told him he was nuts, it was much too soon, and how could we know we wouldn't hate each other in 'real life'... his response was to ask me again every day for five days straight, and I went from 'ask me in six months' to 'you're never going to stop until I say yes, are you? (laughing)' and he said 'nope' so I said 'yes'...

He tried to file for a K1 visa with a 'meet in person' exemption (he was working for a religious organisation for room-and-board and a very small stipend and I was in poor health so neither of us could afford the plane ticket from Australia to the US) but the USCIS laughed at him and (luckily for him) sent the check back uncashed and told him to file again after we'd actually met in person. So we talked on the phone morning and night and waited patiently... We weren't able to visit in person until 2003, when I spent two weeks with him. Then I came home and we filed the paperwork, which took one year to process. I flew to the US in November 2004 and we were married in his church just before Christmas... and if you do the maths, that was nine years ago. I got my citizenship last year.

Can you love somebody you met online? Of course you can... but love needs to be accompanied by (or follow) friendship, trust, sharing, and caring... and real commitment. It takes a lot of patience to marry somebody from another country - patience to get to know them, to wait for the paperwork to process, to get to know each other all over again once you're living under the same roof.

Sea Org? Just popped in to my head with Florida.

To the OP, we met online and starting Skyping immediately. We both were each other's pre-definied "types" so there was some assurance that our familiarity didn't breed unreal feelings. I knew right away that we were meant to be, as silly as it sounds, so we met in person about 2 months after we starting talking online. My husband was a little less confident in person than online and I was apparently much shorter in person (I'm 5'6" by the way). Good to get those sort of things out of the way at the beginning of a relationship. We talked and talked some more, he came to visit me 3 months after that first in person visit (5 months after we started talking), we got engaged and he went home. He was amazingly supportive over Skype while my father was dying, making himself available any time.

I moved to Denmark to be with him and he had of course, gotten the apartment ready mostly the way I wanted it. We got married and he has always been the same sweet man I first starting talking to, although the cute accent is disappearing. We've been through a lot of stuff together in a short marriage (it will be 2 years this October) like death of a parent, moving countries twice (and moving cross country this summer), infertility, living with my mother this past year for which I say bless his poor soul, renovating and selling my dad's house, etc. Too much, sometimes I think. In the end, we still really care about each other and make it work.

However, let me say that there were NO red flags and I never felt uneasy about him, his motivations, or getting married. He does as he says and is an open book.

I met my husband last July on a dating site. We both had been trying out dating sites with no real success. It turns out that we were both on the site at the same time to deactivate our accounts when the "bots" on the website popped up on my screen with his profile. I took it as a sign that I should try one more time, so I sent him a message. He answered me within a day or so (I figured I would give him a couple of days) and we chatted on the site, switched over to Yahoo, then Facebook. He came up to Canada to visit me about two weeks after we first started talking. He lives in North Dakota and it is only a three and a half hour drive from my city in Canada (thank God!), so he came to visit me two weekends in a row...and we were hooked.

I have been driving down to the US nearly every weekend since, as he drives all over three states for his job. We decided that we want to be together for the rest of our lives, so on a trip to my mom's place in Texas at Christmastime, we got married.

We chose the CR1 route because of my position up here at a prominent college and because I needed to make arrangements for my loans and pensions. He is on the road all week most weeks anyway so it made more sense for me to stay up here and contribute to my pensions as long as possible while waiting for an immigration visa.

Anyway, we are so happy together...when we are together. Each weekend is like a honeymoon, which we haven't had yet. We will do that to celebrate when I finally am able to stay with him permanently.

It goes to show...when you know, you know. When you meet the one you are supposed to be with - you just know. If it wasn't for the internet, my path would never have crossed with my husband's. Sometimes technology is a wonderful thing .

Met the hubs playing World of Warcraft (a video game) which led to us chatting in game, then progressed to chatting online outside the game and exchanging phone calls. We met for the first time back in Aug 2005 and the rest is history. We got engaged in 2006, I came on a K1 in 2007 and we've been married ever since. We had many visits from the time we met in person to when we got engaged a year later.

Met hubs playing COD: MW2 in Aug 2011. Married in May 2012. I was here by June 2013. Our second anniversary is fast approaching and we still aren't able to spend it together because he's in OK city for work training. Next year maybe? My lucky number 3.
