In this digital world where we speak to one another in different forums / social media. Play countless hours online. Some have also met / dated / had a relation ship / even married people they have met online. For those who did any of that? How is it like? I've already tried online dating but I never had a relationship with anyone from it but maybe because I did not try hard enough. Is it something that you would recommend?

After I got divorced I tried online dating, it was a teaching experience. Most men I talk to online were just looking to talk about sex. It was really weird, they would star like a normal conversation but no matter what they always ended up talking about sex. I began several "friendships" and even went on a couple of dates with some of them, they would get handsy most of the time!!
One of them after being dating for a few months asked me to lend him money and as stupid as I was I did, I never saw him or my money again.
As my real purpose what to have a serious long lasting relation mos would just stooped talking to me, on the other hand I still have a couple of friends from those times.
One of those endless night of loneliness I was roaming around in a chatroom and started talking to a guy at 2 am, at this point my conversations started with, "Are you here just looking to talk about sex?" LOL Most men said yes so I would not talk to them, but he said "Not necessarily, what would you like to talk about" and so we talked about nothing and everything all night until 5 am.

He lived not too far from me, so eventually we met, when I met him he wasn't what o expected. He was kinda shy and evasive, we were in a public place and he would be nonchalant and weird. I thought, here goes another one not worth my time. So I ended the meeting as soon as possible, as were saying goodbye I offered him a ride to the closest subways satiation and he agreed and thank me. As we got into my car and were all alone in the dark parking lot, he turned into a different person. Confident, straight forward, demanding, so sexy LOL. He said he wanted to kiss me, and he did, we spent the rest of the afternoon together in my car talking and laughing and having a great time.

That happened 8 years ago, now we are happily married, we have a 2-year-old girl an have our business together.

I tell you all this because, I know that dating online is difficult, there are so many out there just trying to take advantage of you, or your situation, they would pry o your weaknesses and might hurt you. You must have clear in mind what you really want and what kind of person you are looking for and stick to it, don't accept anything less. If you are patient and lucky as was I , you might find that person that fit into your madness to the tee. Don't give up just stay true to yourself!

Woah! That is a happily ever after story. Good for you that online dating was a success for you. Perhaps it's something worth trying. We nowadays spend too much time online nowadays anyway. Might as well form relationships with the people we met in there, whether as a friend or something more.
