Wow, online dating actually works!

Hmm, so do I have the longest online dating relationship on the 'Dope? I thought there was someone who had been with their SO longer…
Met on a BBS hosted in the Netherlands. Living together 14 years, married for three. :slight_smile:

We can’t beat you, Necros, but we’re coming up on meeting eight years ago now (March 18). We met at love@aol which is out of business now. We celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary last August.

My sister just married her boyfriend that she met from phone dating.

Hey that’s great. I can’t say that it’s worked for me, but it’s worked for so many of you all, there must be some hope for the rest of us yet…

I believe that there’s a female Doper who met her husband that way, so he’s not the only guy to perform that feat. :smiley:

Congrats!

I met my SO-hubby-thingy on OKCUPID. I’m slowly moving in (he needs to make room for me & my youngest), and we get along great! We can have our differences and we compromise or adjust. I’m still in that ‘high’ stage and I hope to stay there =)

I think Ginger of the North and her husband met here on the Dope.

Met my husband online in 1996, met in person 1997, married 1997, 10 year anniversary a little over a month ago.

I don’t remember the site. friendfinder.com, maybe?

I’m not too far behind you, Necros – met my hubby through an online self-help meeting in '93, met in person in '95, married in '96, still together. It can definitely work.

Although the game was less massive, it was still technically a multi-player online game. Kingdom of Loathing, if anyone’s curious.

Our third wedding anniversary is in September.

And while my sweetie is a Doper, he’s not Autolycus :slight_smile: I married Nanook Of The North Shore, Lurker Extrordinaire and Poker Fiend.

I met my SO four years ago while playing an MMO. We’re not married, but he refers to my parents-- whom he hasn’t met yet-- as his future in-laws, so I guess that means it’s going well. :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t recommend it as a way to meet people, though.
