Online dating really works for those who commit themselves into it.

My husband and I met and dated online, got married after a few months and will now be celebrating our second wedding anniversary next month.

Try to have clear communication as to what you guys really mean to each other...

he live all the way in saskatoon. he's a cool guy and i would like to able to try and meet him once before he totaly lose intrests in talking to me.
My wife and I met through online dating, but our "relationship" was online for a little over a year before we first met and went out on a date.

In that time, we grew close, became friends, developed expectations, etc.

It helped that we were both honest and sincere with each other. When we met, we were who each other expected us to be, and we found chemistry.

I would caution with any online relationship, you miss a lot of in person communication, and it is easy to say things, hide things, etc. So meeting and dating is important.

For us it did work out!

Actually he does. He seem my picture I talked to him over the phone..skyped stuff like that. He's a chubby/fat guy himself. And no he isn't in jail or anything. He's working. has his own house and car.
Haven't either of you exchanged pictures or anything?

I don't know where Saskatoon is or how far it is from you.
I live in Wisconsin.

I know. I am thinking the same thing. He got a bit upset when I told him about it. But i suppose he agrees.

Original Poster: If you have been talking to this man for 2 years now and you have not improved yourself within that time what makes you think you will improve yourself now?

You need to improve yourself for YOU not for HIM or anyone else. Until that happens you do not need to be involved with anyone romantically because you will make both of you miserable.
Haha. Yeah that's true. He only started saying this love stuff like this about a year ago. We talked for a couple of months in on an mmo as friends and what not he dissappeared for about 4-5 months and some s at some times but he was now steady talking to me in around late 2012.

What makes me think I will improve now is that I feel much better about myself. I hadalot of anxiety issues and some depression. After being bored I finally started to walking more outside and in septemember I saw that I started losing weight when I started skipping meals and drinking water. No more soda for me.

I guess I kinda made this post after feeling a bit depressed. I do that somestimes.
