Have any of you met someone online from another area? I recently broke up with my bf and am nervous to go out into the dating scene as we've been together for 4 years and I never dated. I just had a bf since high school. I got an email from a guy from Britain on that website but... I am nervous. If you've got good experiences on match.com let me know.

net in general can be good or bad. bad thing about some is they match you with peopel from way far away. Doesn't help much if you leave 1000's miles away.

If you wana met somone...try locally....and talk to them for a while, swapping emails....then try phone....then see what happens.

I had a friend who used Match.com. He stopped because he actually ended up hooking up with a local girl. But you can be very specific about the distance of a potential match. He was matched with women within a 200 mile radius, then weeded out his selections from there.

I met my current bf through IRC (internet relay chat) almost 9 years ago. I was chatting in a room for people from my state and he lived 100 miles away. For the first 4 years we saw each other every other weekend...then he moved in. So it can work (okay, well the jury is still out on this one).

Good luck and be careful.

There was a time when I never would have admitted it, as somehow the internet thing has taken on a connotation of "bad". However, I met my wife this way, we have been married 5+ yrs.

Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
