Apologies if this topic has already been brought up but curious if anyone has met anyone on WP and formed a relationship. Any stumbling blocks?

A few months back when I joined Wrong Planet I saw a young male on Wrong Planet on their laptop in an airport in Vancouver.

There is at least one married couple who have met through WP, and are still posting on WP.

I think there are a few others as well.

There are a few non-marriage relationships on WP as well.

Yes, I met my husband here. I've also seen multiple relationships come from WP.

I met my ex and had him join here while he was visiting me but he didn't last long because I made a post here asking a question to men about if it would bother them if their girlfriend was talking to other guys online and I talked about chatting with my online friends and my ex wanting me to quit talking to them and he saw that post and got very upset by it because he thought it made him look like a control freak. He never posted here again because he thought everyone here thinks he is a control freak. Turns out he was one so his reaction totally made sense and I thought he was just being so paranoid then and that should have been a red flag. Me and my big mouth. :roll:

My husband also joined here once and only made one post, he never really participated.

I have met a few people from here.

I tried to befriend a few people who lived in my immediate area back when I was single. Only one seemed interested in talking (she lived about 1.5 hours away) but I soon found out she was off the wall C-R-A-Z-Y and I am glad I never met her in person. She seemed very interested but flaked on me after 'finding her soulmate', only to message back a week later like nothing happened. I was dumb enough to reveal my real name to her and she tried friending me on Facebook repeatedly, usually after the latest guy ran from her. This former member even went so far as to send unsolicited and very provocative photos and last I heard, got engaged to a guy after just a few days. Glad I dodged that bullet! I strongly doubt she could have had diagnosed Aspergers like she claimed.

I'm sure there are many nice people here but my experience was far from good.

I've met many wonderful friends, but no one relationship-wise yet.
Oh, Kinme, that's such an adorable avatar! :heart:

You can, potentially, though it seems extremely unlikely to me. You're far more likely to make friends here imo.

I was in a LDR with someone on here for a few months about a year ago. I think we rushed into it too fast because I didn't feel like I could trust him enough so I went too far with questioning him and I think it drove him away. I guess it's not good to date someone if you don't feel like you can fully trust them though.

I met my 2nd & current girlfriend on here. I posted quite aLOT on here about wanting a relationship, why I wanted a relationship, my personality within a relationship, & what I had to offer a partner within a relationship. It didn't work out with my 2nd girlfriend cuz our personalities within a relationship were kind of opposite of each other. I'm kind of needy, clingy & love being close & affectionate with my partner & she was trying to become more independent.
