I met my mate online 15yrs ago and we had a great 13yr relationship untli her sudden death due to cancer. And here is the name of the site we met at I am sure the young crowd will not know it but it was Prodigy. She lived in Ca and me in NJ we met we chatted we talked on the phone and then she moved cross country to meet me. After that we traveld all over had many great times and a few not so great times. <br><br>Everyone just needs to be careful and ask lots of questions and as always first meeting should be in a very public place. Cam to Cam chats are the way to go these days. Back when I did it we had to send pictures to each other by snail mail. <br>Even today being single I have met another nice lady and we hope to meet in person in time she is a bit far away this time.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rudy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 17th 2010 10:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on More Americans Finding Their Mates Online]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/17/more-americans-finding-their-mates-online/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/17/more-americans-finding-their-mates-online/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks for sharing your story.

Check out the site plentyoffish.com it is free to join post and reply to anyone you find interesting. Just be warned you will have to talk to a lot of ladies to find a nice one.

My husband, living in MN at the time, found me, in FL at the time, out of an AOL chat room in 2002. We married in early 2003, had a beautiful daughter by the end of the year, and are as strong today as ever. Due to logistics, we did not live in the same household, or state for that matter, until almost 5 months after we married. But over the computer, phone, and a couple of visits, we were able to get to know each other on a completely different level than we'd experienced when meeting someone face to face and going through the horse-and-pony show of dating. We considered ourselves to be engaged before we'd even ever met face-to-face the first time. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[swampbunnyfl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 17th 2010 4:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on More Americans Finding Their Mates Online]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/17/more-americans-finding-their-mates-online/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/17/more-americans-finding-their-mates-online/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have used several of the online dating sites, and have not met anyone who wants a relationship, most of them want sex, whether it be online or phone or in person..I am 67 years old, and I give up...   ~~~~~]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Augusta]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 17th 2010 3:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on More Americans Finding Their Mates Online]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/17/more-americans-finding-their-mates-online/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/17/more-americans-finding-their-mates-online/</guid><description><![CDATA[it's a shame people don't go to church anymore, Augusta.

I am 60.  Never met anyone on-line. Tried them all.  Maybe they work for younger folks. I think they are great and lazy way for men to meet women.  They sit home, go through a bunch of pictures, lie like rugs and even go out on dates!!!  My neighbor (no great catch, told me he never had a date in high school, said he met 52 women on line.  He was having a "ball" period.  He freely admitted to being a "loser" when it came to meeting women until online dating.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[still looking]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 17th 2010 6:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on More Americans Finding Their Mates Online]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/17/more-americans-finding-their-mates-online/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/17/more-americans-finding-their-mates-online/</guid><description><![CDATA[Test]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[EAJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 17th 2010 3:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on More Americans Finding Their Mates Online]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/08/17/more-americans-finding-their-mates-online/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/08/17/more-americans-finding-their-mates-online/</guid><description><![CDATA[match.com is a meat factory!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard D.
