I came here on a tourist visa and stayed with a friend first, my intention at first was not to date but to have fun, we chat online two months first and third month dated in real until we got married.

If I was the IO i would wonder how if you entered  with the intent to have fun for a couple of months and had truly intended to leave when your visa was up how you could just change your mind and be able to stay without needing to go home first to end a job/lease, and take care of other personal stuff.  

I understand why it might seem surprising, but life doesn’t always go according to plan. I truly came on a tourist visa just to visit and enjoy my time here. I wasn’t working and didn’t have a lease or anything serious tying me back home (I was living with my parents) and I just wanted to clear my mind with a vacation, my visa allowed me to stay up to six months so I had the freedom to be flexible. While I was here, I met someone unexpectedly, we connected in a real way, and our relationship developed naturally and then made a serious, thoughtful decision to get married. It wasn’t planned from the start, but when something real happens, you follow it. We chose to be together.

At least the OP entered on a Tourist Visa and not the VWP

What does it mean, is it good? I was on a tourist visa to tour I didn’t know and didn’t meet him and my plans changed, could it be a problem?

VWP means you waive rights, with your Tourist Visa you did not.
