Date from the internet

How common is this now days? Do alot of people meet, date and end up getting married from meeting on the internet?

My friend just got married from some asian girl and is really happy.

I have known 2 apostolic women who did this. One was a young lady from my church. She doesnt seem so happy many months down the road but the other lady who is more elderly has been married about 10 yrs and still is very much happy.

Im sure it works but I would be very cautious simply because you may not have had time enough with that person in life situations to really know how they are. I guess that could be said with people we have known for yrs too.

I know of three couples who met on the internet, and later got married. All three couples seem to be very happy.

I met my wife online -on probably the worst "dating" site that I ever used, and then only briefly. After using a couple of much better ones (such as eHarmony and ChristianCafe.com) I logged on to love.com (owned by AOL at the time and which has long since changed) which turned out to be a gay and lesbian and porno bot, love fest. Turns out me -and my future wife, were about the only normal ones there!
Just shows that God has a sense of humor.

My brother and I both met spouses on the internet. The breakups that eventually happened had nothing to do with meeting on the internet.

No longer are we forced to date the person sitting three pews down from us.

I think it might be a good way to meet people, but for a serious relationship you really do need to spend some time with each other and around other people.

The Internet is just another bulletin board in the community, and a pretty amazing bulletin board. But it's no replacement for the basics in any developing relationship.

I agree.
