We met through Facebook on Nov 2009 but met face to face on august 2012. We became friends and played a couple of vampire games together but did not start a relationship until nov 2011. Through all the time we spent as friends we slowly realized we were almost perfect for each other and we had feelings for one another also, so we decided to give it a chance! It was the best decision of our lives! :D

Five months. I think the sooner the better. Then if the fantasy isn't reality, you don't invest more time.

Ironically after messaging a few times I told her I would love to meet her, to this she responded that it was likely we'd never meet in person given the distance between us. And now, we're engaged ;)

We met online in November 07 but did not meet in person until April 08 although I booked the flight in December. By the time we met it was as if we had known each other for years. People say things like, How can you marry someone you hardly know? etc. I think we actually got to know each other better by speaking every day online than we might have had we met in person sooner.

Funny you should say that. We met through a mutual friend on Twitter in December 2012, and met in person for the first time at the end of February. Chelsea has said that if we didn't get to know each other through text, skype, etc first, and actually just met each other face to face (i.e. not long distance), then it is probable she wouldn't have talked to me. Mostly because she is, to use her words, socially awkward haha
