I met my ex husband online..we met face to face soon after, and everything went too fast from there. I left him after 3 years due to domestic violence.
I met my current husband online. We talked online for 3 years before we met face to face. When we finally did meet (8 years ago as of 2 weeks ago) we spent the entire weekend together, and every weekend after (we lived 60 miles apart) til we got married 3 years ago. We are still very happy together and we have never run out of things to talk about!
Take your time, learn all you can. Not everyone online is who or what they say they are, and time can make all the difference, whether online or not
