Mmmmmm...Capachinos...I'd find it kinda weird meeting a signifacant other on CAA but I'm not knocking for those who have. If you think about it, it's pretty much the same thing as a blind date. But anyway I have made some pretty good friends here and would love to meet some of them in person if the chance ever presents itself.

I've heard that development is actually an asexual space jellyfish... but that's just what I've heard. Of course, this is the Internet, where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents...

Letsee... back on another famous forum there was a HUGE topic on well, it was more a "fun dating" thing that everyone did. It was back when I was actually well-known and HOW many guys liked me off it? 4... MAYBE 5 0_o... But it was a fun thing and I REALLY don't think anyone took the whole "dating" thing seriously... but apparently those guys really DID like me at one point >_< It was Pojo BTW if anyone used to go there around 2001, it might be nostalgia... *sniff* those were fun times online though...

As for taking the whole dating online thing seriously, meh :/ Besides, on places like CAA as far as I know the only people I'd ever come into contact with still live quite a ways away from me^^
<---has been single for... almost 11 months now :/ (My first/last time :/) Still, meeting people in person is ALOT better.

well I've met spiritwolf (I met her face to face and at that time I didn't know she was a CAA member, but looked aweeefully familiar)

The convo kinda went like this

Me: "Do you live in... <insert county here>"
Her: Yup!
Me: "Are you spiritwolf?"
Her: "Yup!"

so that was kinda weird... I think I thought it was her by a picture I've seen once

I also seen kaemmerite, spoonybard, and evilspork as well. And of course I see meboeck/peanut/linksquest sometimes more than I want to :lol:

online dating works... from what I've seen. A few of my friends in HighSchool have siblings who got married to people they met online. Heck, my 6th grade teacher first met his wife online.

When I met my gf online, there were no plans on having the relationship that we have now. It took about 18 months before either of us realized that God had plans for us. So... yeah, I wouldn't use the internet to find that special someone, but... it does happen. Just be careful. Don't jump too early.

Development. A person? Partially funny, partially disturbing.

No comment.

EDIT: We're off topic and I'm not helping. Let's try to return to our focus.

Heart of Sword still hasn't let the cat out of the bag, has she? She's obviously wanting us to ask, after all. :grin:

Something tells me that you are her "special someone"

The fact that Heart of Sword (in her opening post) included the phrase, "besides me" obviously indicates that she has found "that special someone." However, she doesn't specify who.

I think there is a difference between having an online relationship and simply meeting online.

The original post was:

Heart of Sword wrote:Has anyone here, besides me , met that special someone on the CAA or any other forum, for that matter?

Placing the curiosity that that post brings up aside (but not discarding it), meeting people online should be rather common by now, so I donâ€™t think itâ€™s strange or weird to meet a special someone online at all.

I think it would be hard to have serious relationship that develops wholly online, but that relationship could certainly start out that way. Why not?

I'm not against online dating, but I don't really believe I could go through with an online relationship. (The following assumes the person would not be living in my immediate area or even remotely close.)

When I see myself with a girlfriend, possibly someday, I envision us spending time together, side by side, arm in arm, hanging out together in different places, sitting in a cafe enjoying being with and talking to each other, hugging, kissing, meeting her family, getting to know her family, her getting to know mine, us together playing Street Fighter or Halo on the couch, (I wish

) the evenings we may spend cuddling, the different projects we may choose to get involved in together, ect.

You get the picture. There is simply so much more you can get out of a real life relationship that online "dating" just can't offer.

Heh, looks like being a female gamer gives me an advantage, knowing tons of guys are. ...well it sounds like a fun idea. Well honestly, on forums that involve games the guys DO overpopulate us girls >_<

One would hope that eventually the relationship transcends the "online" part.

I kicked your butt in Neverwinter!! Oh, wait... You weren't playing when I beat that one. Uhhh... I almost gave you a run for your money in Civilization once or twice, but only because you weren't trying very hard and I was actually paying close attention. Nope, I'd say the vast majority of the time, you beat me in just about any game we play.

Everyone.

My cousin (the youngest of his brothers, all of which are still single) met his wife online.

He married after about two weeks of knowing her (and she already had a kid).

A mistake? So far, no, though it does seem a bit worrying (?) since he's been deployed into the East again.

Er...no. I barely know her at all, actually.

This is, of course, can be quite difficult to do though if you both live too far away.

A bit worrying...? That's practically putting up a neon sign that the marriage is going to crash and burn. I doubt I'd give a female I'd known for two weeks in person more than a hug...

My great aunt and uncle literally ran into each other on the street one day and were married 9 days later. They're still married today, with 6 kids. XD Marriges on short notice can work, but I wouldn't reccommend them. Besides, that was back in the day before the internet, so I'm not sure if that counts. Haha!

Postby **TheDrunkenNinja** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 9:36 pm

No, not really. I think I'd like to keep it that way. Just had a school lesson about internet safety.

I do trust all those here at CAA, but I'm not willing to go that far.

My parents got married on their second date (Dad met Mom in Australia, then they exchanged letters between the USA and Australia, and he proposed six months later). They have been married 34 years, and they strongly recommend in no uncertain terms that no one do what they did. It just happened to work.

This is true. It's sort of a matter of how practical you think it will be, and having the foresight either to avoid it entirely, or know one's limits of transport. Also, you'd need to keep in mind how likely it is that you would be together in the future (situations like eloping notwithstanding).
