How long was it until you physically met and spent time together? Talked on the phone a few times for work related things, he then helped me with a project and asked me out a couple of days later. Apparently, he'd seen me at the front desk about 6 months before that and had asked around trying to find out if I was single but didn't ask the right people.

We officially moved in together after 8 months, but had pretty much been living together since about 4 months. I moved in with him since he had a lease and I was M2M.

How many of you met your significant other online?

We both frequented a popular video games message board. He was one of the board moderators. Video games are one of our shared hobbies.

How long were you friends?

We remain friends. We will always be the best of friends. In terms of how long we were platonic? 1 year or so.

How long was it until you physically met and spent time together?

We met in person a few months after we realized that things were more than just online friends.

How far in distance were you from one another?

However many miles it is between New York City and Austin, Texas.

He flew to meet me in New York City. Several months later, I flew to see him in Texas. We dated long distance for 1.5 years.

Almost 13 years, married for 11.5.

Do you live together? If so, after how long did you decide to do so? Who lived with whom?

We're married, so yes we live together I married him in NYC in July 2003 and moved to Texas to be with him in January 2004. I was never down with moving in with people unless I was married. Independent streak of mine, I suppose.

No, but online didn't exist, neither did cell phones, cable, VCR's or microwave ovens. You don't need online to meet someone.

You don't need cell phones, cable, VCRs, or microwave ovens, either, but they made life easier and more enjoyable.
