I second that.. and Carl thirds it. We use skype all the time. Hours everyday. When I'm not at home (i.e. Camping or something) I forward skype to my mobile. That way it's still free for him to call me. I also have Vonage as my phone company because of the free calls to him. He has talktalk for the same reason.

This is gonna sound bonkers but we can't remember. He can't remember and I can't remember. We went back to our archives to try and figure out how we started talking. He says that he was praying for God to send him a wife. Since I was praying for a stable husband, maybe that's what happened. It's wierd because we were sort of drawn to each other. We both have emails to each other saying, it's cool talking to you but I'm not interested. Then we'd be chatting onling the next day. I don't know why we just kept going back to each other. We connected somehow. And talked about everything and anything. For hours and hours and hours. So we finally gave in to fate or karma or God. Whatever it was that wanted us to be together. We filed the petition when we realized that I wouldn't be very happy living in Africa right now. (spoiled american brat!

) It's huge to me that he's coming here, because he was very very hesitant. He really didn't want to leave his family and everything that he is familiar with. We even talked about living elsewhere in Africa before we settled on this. This may be temporary, but it's easier to make a decision when you're together.

I was at work, and found something I had been looking for years in our company's intranet. Half of the material was missing though, but I found the name of the guy who had written it. So I searched the name (and managed to find hte correct one with that name) and dropped a chat after thinking about it for nearly a week. And then just continued chatting..

Nicholas and I met on a similar game as World of Warcraft...called "City of Heroes" in late 2005. He made a very unusual and funny character and it caught my eye as I was running by and I messaged him.
We would always say hi whenever each other was online and he always made me laugh.
For a few months, he didn't log on the game, he had a girlfriend at the time, so we didn't see much of each other.
In the spring of 2006, I saw him logged on after a long time of not and we started talking...we teamed together and just hung out. We ended up staying up talking all night, asking each other questions to learn more about each other.
Shortly after that, a girlfriend and I decided to take a trip and she picked NYC. I knew that Nick lived in NJ and so I proposed that we meet for a coffee or a drink. He declined because he knew there was a definite spark between us and he was still involved with his then girlfriend.
The minute I got home from that July 06 trip to NYC, we talked every day, all the time. His relationship ended and I finally moved out of the house I had been living in with my husband (We had been living separate under the same roof for over 6 months)
We were both reluctant to continue because of how soon we were both out of relationships but it was inevitable......we had already fallen

We met on a gaming/chat site called The Zone, we chatted over a game of cribbage. Then every time we were both online we would PM each other and end up chatting hours. It very quickly turned to email then phone calls and the rest is history

Me and Hubby met in an online support group chat room for people who suffer from depression, we were both going thru a pretty rough time. I was anti-men having just been thru a really bad breakup. Neither of us had ever been in a chat room before and we joined up on the same day. We hit it off right from the first hello. I was in denial for months about how I felt about him "he's just a friend" I told myself "He's 13 years older than me an lives on the other side of the world, nothing could ever happen between us"

6 months later we started chatting on msn and accidentally confessed our love for each other (neither of us had ever intended to tell the other one how we felt)
Funny how things work out

Last time around ( yes I am a repeat filer ) I met him on a BBS on the Delphi company mainframe. That was back in 1983 . We married in 1985 and USAToday did an article in 1986 because we were the first intercontinential E-couple they found. He was from Buenos Aires and I am in Southern California. And NO I didn't meet my current online. Once was enough

We met on StumbleUpon over a year ago. I sent her a message regarding her user name since I found it to be very cute and interesting, in a strange sort of way.

She said it meant "bellybutton" in her language but that was far from the truth. Thankfully I was chatting with a friend that spoke a little Bosnian and she told me that the word for bellybutton in Bosnian was "pupak." My friend wrote me a line or two to forward to her and she became very excited when she thought I spoke her language, not knowing I was being fed lines by my friend like in Cirano di Bergerac. After a couple of months of messaging we graduated to chatting on google talk, then talking on google talk and now we're engaged. Who could ever imagine that this could happen? Now I'm desperate to be with her and growing more desperate with every second that passes.

we met in a chat room randomly. at first we hated each other. we'd known each other for about 5yrs before we actually met. it would have never happened but he somehow got my phone number and called me a week before I moved to London. he didn't know I was moving. I thought this is too nuts we must meet. we've been together since

Met on the Penny Arcade forums.
We both joined in 2003; it was about half the size back then, and rules were a little more relaxed. The chat forum allowed members to post photos of themselves, which, as bored teenagers and early-twenty-somethings, we did. Alex saw my photo and thought I was cute and in return posted his and I thought he was cute, and he seemed a pretty sweet guy judging by his post history, so I messaged him.
That was early 2004 and we weren't looking for people to date, just to chat! I was living with a boyfriend at the time anyway. We got on really well, though, so we ended up chatting nearly every day.
2005 and I realised that I wasn't going to be with the boyfriend forever; we shared no goals in life. In 2006 I moved out with a friend and made arrangements to meet Alex, on a 'what if' basis.

i chose message board...but we actually first talked on a chat room started by the message board for a band that's from my local area called breaking benjamin back in 2004. when someone asked what other people's hobbies and interests were aside from rock music i reluctantly answered figure skating and he was intrigued-that i had the guts to say it...(not so much with figure skating! lol) and started to IM me....we talked for hours and then around 9pm my time he went to bed but told me he'd see me the next day...i've heard that before...never expected it, but he came back the next day! i don't think we've not spoken for a whole day since then! we met irl about a year later.

Mark was a long-standing member of breakmanx.com which is a gaming-related site run by one of his best friends from college. I joined in... the summer of 2004 I think. Anyway, he'd not been around much because he moved away to live with his girlfriend in another state and I actually had a bit of a crush on someone else at the time as I was coming out of a very bad marriage and leaning very heavily on another mutual friend for emotional support. Mark's relationship had taken a nose dive and he was online more and I remember noticing him first because he defended me on the forums against this other guy that was always making inappropriate comments to me.
About six months later he had decided to move back to Kansas and was getting involved with the online game show associated with the site. We were all in the site's chat room during the show and he was looking for feedback on what he'd just said on the show and I made some comment about my attention span not being long enough to really take in the whole thing. One of our other friends kicked off to me about it, so I messaged Mark privately to apologise in case he'd taken offence. After that we would chat online whenever we were both on and then we talked a few times in group skype sessions with other friends.
A little after that one of our friends (the one I'd previously had a crush on) deliberately left us alone on skype together... and we talked for almost seven hours! We'd both been badly hurt by our previous relationships and gave each other a lot of mutual emotional support. Before too long we were ringing each other up on the phone as well as talking online every day and became best friends. I wasn't particularly attracted to him at first, and I don't think he was to me either, but as we got to know each other we started to fall for one another.
I was really worried about it becoming anything more because I couldn't bear the thought of losing him as a friend and I was feeling very uncertain about romantic relationships in general. He'd also vowed never to have a long-distance again, but apparently changed his mind over me.
We started dating and I arranged to visit him the following summer so that we could attend the wedding of mutual friends together and spend some time together to confirm how we felt... and I knew as soon as he put his arms around me at the airport

Both of our best friends are Smashing Pumpkins geeks and became friends on a Smashing Pumpkins message board. My friend went to Vancouver to see Billy Corgan with her friend, and she tagged along. I saw the pictures and thought she was hot, so I started messaging her on Myspace.
At first, she had me confused with another friend of ours and kept ignoring my messages. Then her friend told her one day, "Billy thinks you're pretty." She asked "Who's Billy?," and Ana sent her the link to my profile. Then she put 2 and 2 together and we started talking.

I am a moderator on a large forum for a big rock band that shall remain nameless.
My SO happened to go to one of their shows in England and bootlegged it. He was just a casual fan of the band, but it was a great recording, and he wanted to post it on a fansite for serious fans fo enjoy.
Well, one of the other members started to harrass him about something stupid, and he contacted the Mod on duty at the time (me!) for help. We started to message each other on the forum, then moved onto YIM. Our first YIM converstationlasted over 6 hours, and that was that!
