I met my husband on the internet 10 years ago. We met playing a multi-user dungeon or MUD called Realms of Despair. We hated each other at first.. then we started to talk and became friends. We ended up being friends for a few years. Then there was a reunion of the players, and I went. Not long before this Joel had declared his "love" for me. I told him he was on crack and to take a flying leap off of a high bridge, you can't fall in love with someone online. I made him promise to stop talking like that and I would agree to meet him while in town for the reunion. Well I'm glad I did. We've been together ever since. It's been years now. We have two beautiful children and one on the way, and I could never have found a better match for myself anywhere else.
It's not typical for things to work out that way, but it's good to keep an open mind. Just be careful of yourself, make sure someone knows where you are and how to get a hold of you, be 100% safe in EVERYTHING you do, and hope for the best. Good luck!
