I can't imagine even loving anyone without having known them personally for a while, knowing someone on the internet doesn't seem like enough to me.

But then the internet is just the tool..... I know a couple who met via the Morrissey connection and I bet there's more - they initially met in person though. I'm sure Smiths conventions are a marriage market that shouldn't be underestimated ;-)
I don't know of anyone who got married via the internet, but I know many who fell in love with someone just by the things the person had written (not counting the endless masses of people who fell in love with Morrissey because of the things he'd written). Then some of those were badly dissapointed by personal encounters because their expectations just weren't met - not because of looks, but just because the chemistry wasn't right.

I've never met anyone who married someone off the internet. Well either that or I do and they were lying about it.
The whole idea generally kinda strikes me as a bit scary and "not done". I don't know, at the end of the day it's up to the individuals concerned.

I somehow believe it will become more and more normal to meet this way since the internet is becoming such a huge medium. Who knows, maybe in 40 years time or so it'll be just as common as chatting someone up in the pub these days...

I hate to get so personal online but this happened to me and
it did'nt work, but that doesn't mean it can't, because i've
read about it happening several times..with me, i fell in love
with someone, met them and this person was the one who wasn't
especially intrested after we met, but it was the opposite for me!
Anyway, i think the whole thing is certainly not as exciting as
actually meeting in real life and going on dates..but one can't
dismiss this medium, because the written word is sometimes
enough..like you said, people fall in love with writers or lyricits
that appeal to them emotionally..but for example, the problem
with me was i was honest in my writing and i was tottaly myself,
while this fellow wasnt and he didnt really like me in the first
place. So in conclusion, it's an ok medium, it can be done, but
there's nothing quite like spotting someone in a crowd or wherever
and getting the courage to talk to them..it's much more romantic
overall

i too do not know of anyone marrying after meeting on the internet, but i think it is very possible. and i think in the future, it will become very common and not have the strange scary stigma associated with meeting someone via the internet, that most people think nowadays. though i think there are way more guys using the internet than girls.
it is easy to adore the words that someone writes via email. and the possibilities that this person has these real thoughts and is out there somewhere. but that doesnt necessarily mean that you would hit it off, if you met in person. someone is bound to be let down.

internet marriages? My take on it
> it is easy to adore the words that someone writes via email.
Just as it's easy to adore the lyrics that someone writes, if they are well written, and apply to your soul (so scratch your use of "easy")
> the possibilities that this person has these real thoughts and
> is out there somewhere.
Just like lyric, poetry, and fiction, and basically all written forms.
>but that doesnt necessarily mean that

Would you be let down in meeting Morrissey in person? If we are all perfectionists, or even drawing up particular romantic expectations in our minds, we are all bound to be let down. Regardless of the circumstance.

internet marriages belong in the ghoulies...
People who meet online should be kicked in the ghoulies. And if they get married then stomped on the ghoulies !
Cinderella + Greasetea kick eachother in the ghoulies..heeheeaahaaaaahheeeee. and cinderella + I are gonna break stuff then walk on pigeons' heads. New Order's remix of Regret is goood. Putting your box of cereal in the fridge keeps it crispy. Take that brother you big fat man.
Too Cool is just Too Sweet

That's very interesting.... but don't you think that the other way round can be just a dissapointing?? I mean it all happened to us: it's taken us all our courage to get to talk to someone who's looks or charisma appealed to us, and then we find that the person has nothing whatsoever to say or has completely different interests etc. and it just doesn't "click"... So provided the writer is being honest, meeting or getting to know each other via the written word might be the genuine option because it's done without optical distraction.
And here's my own little story: I've never found a love, but quite a few friends via the internet. And then there's one person in particular whom I met while I was following Moz's tour last year. We would always sit together in the cold until the doors would open, maybe rush off to the pub quickly to knock down a few pints...anyway, the last time we saw each other was November last year somewhere in England and we knew that because I live in Germany and she lives in San Francisco there'd be very little chance of meeting again. But at some point later in the year we started emailing each other and by now we do it DAILY!! She's become one of my closest friends and knows things about me that not even my friends who live with me know. And all via the net!
So this adds to what I said earlier on: I think it'll become more and more common to tie and maintain friendships and relationships via the internet. I know it sounds scary now, especially the idea that you're not even handwriting but typing into a machine seems somehow odd, but just think a few years ahead.... progress you know.

I met husbands number 7, 8, and 10 right on this very board, and after all three of those marriages went kaput right after they got their green cards, I still haven't given up on it yet.

Yes, I know what you mean. It reminds me "Cirano de Bergerrac". Once I wrote a personal ad, and so many strange people came to me, talking about things that don't make part of my soul. Personal ad can be a freak thing. On the other hand, it's so nice when a person from a place you never heard before comes and say: "Yes, I know what you feel."

when u cannot judge a person who is near to u?
then ho can u judge a person who is miles far whom u do not know.
how can u trust him whatever he is telling is truth or..
so i don't beleive in internet marriages .
AS ACCORDING TO ME
********MARRIAGE is TRUST ,faith, between two livingbeings**********
and if no trust is there then i think that relationship is nothing
So i don't beleive in INTERNET MARRIAGES.
