I have a Facebook friend who met her husband via World of Warcraft.

I dont know anyone in the 'real world' who has tho....unless they are keeping quiet about it!

I met several people through old chatrooms (MSN chatroom days - 2000 onwards, and another chatroom I forget, never go on any nowadays), plus one from a car forum. Used to go along to 'meets' with friends of mine. Longest relationship was around 3 years (lived together for a year, and another for around two years. Few other dates/short term relationships here and there. Got lots of ex-forum friends on FB. Some VERY close friends out of that lot!

Friend of mine met her partner through ebay lol. She was selling records/stuff he was interested in, he asked why she was selling... it progressed from there!

Have you got your eye on someone? Nudge nudge wink wink

I met my partner through MySpace (that's how long ago it was!!) We are celebrating our seven year anniversary soon and we also got engaged recently.

Must admit it's still a bit embarrassing telling people when they ask how we met! Sometimes I say at a train station, which is technically true!

I met my OH through a forum, not this one lol. Got chatting through PM - then progressed to numbers, then meeting for a coffee and we get married next year! Been together just over 3 years now.

I met my partner online on the plenty of fish website. We have been together since August 2012 & very much in love.... I agree it's quite a daunting experience once you sift out the players it can be quite a positive experience.

Met mine online, been together 6 months and very happy - most of the time

3 previous relationships also started online. 2 of which were a bit of a disaster area but the other lasted 3 and a half years.

I don't see why there remains a stigma to online dating. I think it's a great way of meeting people. Of course we would all love that chance meeting and stuff but for most people it's easier to do it online. My working hours mean I don't get to go out that often, my friends are all in relationships and rarely joined me on nights out so I found it easier to join online dating. I'm hoping things continue to go well for myself and my partner and I honestly feel so lucky I met her, I feel like she's my soul mate and I probably wouldn't have met her had it not been for this dating site. We live in different towns

Met mine through Zoosk which at the time was a fb application. Been together 5 years in Feb, married last month and have an 18 month old son :-)
Its a great way to meet people with similar interests and as long as you ensure you are safe with meeting in a public place letting someone know where you are going that you are home safe etc I would say go for it.
