Personally yes, I can.

What folk don't realise is, marrying someone you met on the net, is no different from marrying someone you met in say, a bar, social event, work etc.

If you met someone you'd chatted to / spoken to online / phone, and you felt you wanted to take things further, obviously you'd meet somewhere. At this stage, you're at the stage where you'd be even if you'd never touched a PC in your life.

If after meeting, you both felt confident enough, then you could have a few meetings, meals, then start dating in earnest.

If you met someone at a social gathering, you wouldn't just marry them, you'd date for a while. So, it doesn't matter where I met a lady, I could marry her, if we "clicked".

i'll have to agree that you have some good points but sometimes explaining yourselve over the internet is a lot harder than meeting the person in person. for example, they may explain the way they look to you one way but when you see them face to face, you're like damn.

I may sound shallow, but first impact is what matters to me. I need to be charmed by his looks before I can develop any other feeling!

Yes Milord!!!!

You have to date for a while like you would if you met by any other means. I recommend dating for at least 2 years before getting married.

Don't you like a little mystery in the whole process? When you finally exchange photograghs, you would have had an idea if it is a "workable" occurence.

I love the chasing and chatting part more than the physical encounter itself, since once you cross that line and become intimate, things kind of dip a little like you are on the "Texas Cylone" or something------- then struggle for legitimacy afterwards.  So keeping the internet thing going prolongs the doomsday of saying goodbye if things to not work out.

I had a crush on my first guy as soon as I saw him. Later, our way of contact moved to the phone. I already had an idea of what he looked so adding other aspects was just natural. The love kept increasing.

I first had my first contact with my ex through phone and I didn't feel him when we met. In fact, i got fed up and broke up.

i had other crushes but I never dated these guys (part of the life of an adolescence). They all charmed me at first sight.

Since i know myself and know what i like, I won't waste time trying to experiment mystery.

Just saving time and energy.

I am glad to inform you all that we just did our church wedding here in the U.S. on the 16th of Feb. and it was a huge success. Our family members and friends came from different part of the state. I am now a legally married woman in the U.S. I wish all internet lovers good luck on the love life and pray it should be of a huge success soon.

Very well. Guess you are tending to be right these days. embarassed How are you and Miss doing? Been a while I spoke with you. Give you a call very soon hopefully.

In case I do not get to call soon, I will be in your former hood very soon. But I do try to give you a call of the details of my stay.

Stay blessed brother.
Re: Can U Marry Someone U Met Through The Internet? by Spice4luv(f): 3:19am On Mar 16, 2008
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.

You are definately right
