Thank you all for sharing your stories! I love that the internet has helped so many people fall in love, or communicate easily (and cheaply) with their loved one.

No great love story here either. Love can be awkward in person, let alone in the disembodied world of the Internet.
But I did make great temporary friends. They came and went but it was a good, gregarious feeling to chat back and forth with like-minded (or not so like-minded) people, to get each others' jokes even though we were scattered all over the world and using English as a second/third/fourth language. It wasn't very different than the feeling I got hanging out with my offline (and more permanent) friends.

We were talking geek... if you were wondering, no that you were... but ya know...

With all the amazing people here, I'll be surprised if it doesn't happen sooner or later. I sincerely mean that.

I'm single, in case anyone is making a list or something...
I think you're right, eventually it will happen to two people here, there are too many people with very similar interests for it not to.

single huh...?

Good point, it does let you meet more people and in most cases be more yourself and open with people that otherwise would be a total stranger sitting in the coffee shop or the bar. Unfortunately it also lets people be more deceiving and sneaky too, so regardless of who they are, what they say, how they act, or how wonderful they might be - there is always the element of risk involved as well.

oh, and for the record, she's the only girl that i've ever fallen in love with (i mean, if we're talking about girls) :P the rest are all boys. i don't know what that says about me
It doesn't say anything except that you've been lucky enough to fall in love, which is pretty special. There shouldn't be any thought that it was anything but two female friends who loved each other.

When I first met someone online, I wasn't looking. I wasn't even thinking about it. It just happened. We met online and then met offline and just clicked. Eventually, it did not work out. But that happens.

I met my 1st partner on a linux forum we knew each other for 2 years this way before we fell in love with each other - still w/o having met physically. rest ist tempi passati
On MR not (yet) but the idea of a fellow bookworm as a partner is tempting...

@Latinandgreek - is it couriosity or an offer?

KK methinks it wouldn't really help - there are a lot of people not even filling the gender and age fields in their profiles.

I wonder how a MR pickup-line would look like...
Hi, do you have a bookmark between the pages of your book of life?
