YES! i can


infact, it is happening very soon.

Maybe Yes
for me,marriage can be from anywhere reasonable

Yes i can, sometimes love is found in the least expected places, i don't think the timing matters, the quality of a relationship is not determined by the amount of years involved, i have seen many cases of people who have dated for many years and after breaking up, in just a few months they met the love of their lives and got married to them, as a matter of fact, i now shun long relatioships, it seems to give room for flaws, the good thing about internet dating is that since there's no physical contact, the feelings are  more mutual, you both know that you are not after each other for sex, you talk more and get to understand a lot about the person before meeting him or her, and when you eventually meet, getting along wont be difficult.

got a friend that met his wife on the internet. He was in the USA and she was in Canada.
They were chatting for while, then they exchange phone numbers, then he came to visit her
then she went to visit him. Before u know it . . she transfered her studies there and they got married last summer.
Now she is 3 months pregnant.

sure works for some people and it doesn't work for some.
all about connecting with the right person.

now this guy wants to come down to Nigeria and meet the parents of the girl, is not as if this girl has seen him yet. what do u guys think should the girl allow him to meet her parents as soon as he comes into Nigeria or maybe the next time he comes in? meanwhile they have been communicating through phone, and this girl is 26, what should i tell her to do? please I need your useful suggestion.

loving a girl on the internet is Human and getting married to one is Divine.

@Alert, the thing is that he could come and meet the parents - that shouldnt be a problem. Its just that she has got to be careful - if she could actually go and visit him then its cool but if not then i dont know.

Like its been said, let her take a chance, there are some its for and some havent had any luck.

Let them meet - first of all she better pray to God that he displayt his flaws to her so she can know who she is dealing with.

uhm. . . . . . . . .

Afterall life is full of risk, how can one achieve sucess withou taking some risks?

What has where I met him got to do with marrying him?
Sure I will.

Yimiton,
Will u marry me?

where you meet a person doesnt matter

its what you create with such person that counts

thats how a cookie crumbles,

the fact is that anybody can marry anyone met thru any method, but this case is quite stupid. the guy over there wants to marry the girl over here. they've not seen each other before except thru pix. i doubt if they really know theirselves not to talk of each other. i'll just say dumb move!

The story's still on baby.the real people shall soon be revealed.

for me: i cannot.exept that i can beyond all reasonable doubts take the risk.indeed a big risk.all stories i've heard about internet marriage always come on worse than problems between people who meet in person. the internet way, they are prone to infatuation and fantasy.its quite easy to hide those petty but quite annoying behaviours and habits on internet.
dating is fine.marriage? without seeing her, console urself that u've seen her pix.talking and communication eye to eye means alot cos every form of electronic communication/interraction aren't safe.
i might be old fashioned but i proudly belong to the old school and we sure take alot of things into consideration.if i ever do, i''l always sleep with an eye open. . . if u know what i mean

Shit happens

Yes, and I pray it happen sooner than I expect.

hmmmmmmm. . .i'd have never thought . . .NM

Some years ago, It is generally unacceptable for couple to meet on the street and start dating. If you take a lady home and tell your people you met on the road, you would be castigate. To them, you might have picked up a wictch or roaming living dead. The tradition is to marry people you know or people your parents give you.

As time went by, we finds that youths started overiding that tradition and starts romance on the street, dance halls, supermarkets etc

Later, newspaper came in and many couple actually meet through newspaper. Be it pen pals, or friendship or direct romance ads. It is pure ignorance that would make anyone deny the aforementioned dating methods.

We all know that compare to newspaper, letter writting, internet is an improved communication method. Yet, due to some entrenched myths and scepticism, certain people never see any good in it. At any rate, we are slow to change. That is why we are backward. Five years ago, most of us never believe one can make money online without seeing the man you are dealing with. Today, thousands are scrambling for the opportunity.

To the topic, internet dating and marriage is not just real but realistic. Like sensible people have said, it depend on the people. It depend on them revealing their real identity and of course, if it must lead to marriage, they must meet. It is all about communication. Right communication for that matter. It is all about attitude.

I need to remind you all that every evils associated with internet datings also applies to your offline datings. Therefore, anything is possible.

My advice to wannabe internet spouse is TO LOVE WITH YOUR HEAD FIRST AND NOT YOUR HEART. That way, you can be in total control.

Meeting on the internet , talking on the phone and exchanging emails are one thing, meeting the person in flesh and blood at least once before taking the plunge is highly adviced.

I agrees.

You can (of course that's up to y'all), but honestly, I wouldn't do it, not if I didn't personally know her.

[size=15pt]NEVER![/size]

where i meet my wife shouldnt be a prob. what matters will be the events after the initial hooking up.

After meeting online, all I have to do is to meet you one on one.
If we meet and I like you, well, what stops me? what has where we initially met got to do with it?

Where u meet isn't the problem, who u meet should be the issue.

If i fall for his personality on net, & fall for his personality again off net. Dunno what the problem is

man must shit for somewhere.
you meet in the moon, in your bedroom, location isnt got any content. what matters is the person. are you not aware demons dey go church. afterall satan was in heaven

@topic

Never say Never, we could meet that special person, anywhere.

What is the difference between meeting someone on the internet and meeting someone in church?

I used to think only pediphiles surfed the net till I became an avid surfer myself and met many normal people on the cyber airways.

The only assurance is that we must date or interact spiritually for 2 years at least before we tie the knot.  While I screen your lineage for insanity and other genetic illnesses.

Hope you do not mind?

None! You never know what they are capable of until you are in a secluded place.

I am not even going to try. I can't date anyone I met on net. I play, joke, chat with them but what's on the net, remains on the net!

Happy new year mrpatkaki. I am thrilled we are beginning to understand ourselves better on Nairaland. That gives me nothing but effervescent pleasure.

That is where you are wrong.  "Agbaya love" is the sweetest of all loves.  With "Accent" seasoning abi na "Mrs Dash"!!!! I will continue collecting numbers of "worthy" fellows who do not "kiss and tell" tales when they are not "in the mood" anymore.

Not for marriage though.  We forbid more than one marriage per person in my village.  So na only for Nairaland runs!!!!!
