Online Dating Worked For Me!

I found my perfect man on Yahoo Personals. After only talking for two days we were already head over heels. 3 days after meeting on the internet we went on our first date and it was better than we both could have ever expected. I wanted to give everyone hope out there who is taking a leap and trying this online dating thing because it could happen to you! I would have never met him any other way...it would have been practically impossile, so keep hope alive!

That's great, but in general, it's unwise and potentially dangerous to go away for the weekend with someone you met just 5 days before on the web. I don't know how old you are, but it's not safe at any age. At least wait until you've dated for several months and met some of his friends (and vice versa). Good luck though.

That's fantastic but I wouldn't do, nor would I suggest to anyone, to do what you did. It's completely unsafe going away with someone you just met.

How long have you been together anyway? That's key.

I'm not trying to be cynical - just realistic.

Well I decided to edit my original message since the 2 responses I got were from people trying to analyze my relationship. The point of the post was to give hope that you CAN find a great match on the internet. So once again, don't lose hope because it can happen to you! And a reply to the responses, I would have never done anything if I hadn't been completely confident about the situation. There were no doubts in my mind about my safety, etc so please stop criticizing my personal actions. I am just trying to bring some hope to people who have been trying to find someone out there.

So, you've only been on one date with him? Yeah, I've gotten super infatuated with a guy early on, too.
