Flying home from Germany yesterday and heard a loud american woman talking to the bloke next to her. She was flying to the UK to see her Fiancé. Nothing unusual there until the bloke asked how long it was since she'd last seen him.
She replied that they'd never met, only over the internet. I can only believe it was speech only and no webcams involved. Been "together" for 7 months apparently.
Be a bit of a shock for the bloke when he see's the 4 year old kid too I dare say.
Is it me, or is this just weird?

Nope it's definately weird!
Freaks the lots of them! I remember seeing a program several years ago when the 'internet relationships' crazy started that followed a few people who 'met' on the internet. All of them were hideous!

"hideous"
Sums up the woman pretty well. Well above her fighting weight with a cracking lisp.
Still, as long as they're happy I suppose that's all that matters....

The thing about it all is these days a webcam costs bugger all and there is all the different communicators so you can have a full video conference for next to sod all cost. So you can see what you are talking to!
Back in the late 90s and it was purely chat forums and emails so they could describe themselves as whatever they wanted and provide pictures of their choice (like 10 years old or whatever) so back then it really was russian roulette for them!

I actually met my missus thru an internet chatroom 5 and half years ago! She was a student at Derby Uni. We got chatting thru MSN and eventually she invited me over to meet her (at that point it was friendship and nowt more). She told me she lived in a dorm with 7 other students (all female) and that i should go over and we could all go out on the piss round Derby. How could i say no??? So anyway, i met her and we got on, had some good nights in Derby! ;D and 5 and half years later we've got 1 young daughter, another due in May and also been engaged for over 4 years.
