Not BSN, but I met my partner on an X-files IRC channel, talked everyday for 3 years, moved country to be together. That was 20 years ago, still together.

It's nice to see how many of you have pulled it off I truly admire those of you who can make it work. It's hard work when it's long distance and it requires a LOT of trust but I do believe it can be done and that it's worth it when the person is right. Too many people give up too easily and because of the distance, they don't think it's worth the trouble or worth fighting for, I think that's sad cause I believe falling for someone's personality before their looks first like you do when you meet someone online, is the absolute best way to fall in love. You get to know that person in a very intimate and deep way and it's not shallow like it might have been face to face. When I first started dated that guy I mentioned in my post, we fell so hard for each other that we didn't care what the other one looked like, we hadn't exchanged pics yet for several months and when we finally did none of us were shy and it was just wonderful. That's how it should be

What are your stories people? Well, you asked for it... Our eyes briefly met across a crowded thread. Which was a feat in itself as the air was filled with the toxic smoke of Off-Topic. He waved, I assumed he was waving at someone else. Or possibly hailing a cab, I don't know. I did not wave back. Fast forward to two years later. I returned to the thread one day to find a 'closed' sign on it, which I thought was some sort of joke as I'd just been there that morning, hell, not even an hour earlier. But no. It was no joke. They were tearing the place down for health code violations. Or...or something. Seemed rather stupid and short-sighted, they could've just cleaned the place up a bit, but what do I know. As our little band stood outside, watching our little slice of heaven be torn down, a kindly passer-by handed us flyers advertising a new location, one that was up to code and in no danger of being closed down in the future. "The Bio-Where Forums." It had a nice ring to it. A few of our group did not make the journey, perhaps they were too attached, too invested in our old thread that they couldn't move on. Their absence was noticeable, so I would sometimes rewatch the old thread's security footage. ...That's when I saw it. He'd kept waving at me. He even shouted out to me a few times. No idea why I hadn't heard. I'd probably had earphones in, and was listening to Oingo Boingo at maximum volume. But that footage was a year, maybe two years old. He'd certainly moved on. I returned to our new home, conflicted. Do I speak up and risk making things awkward? Do I say nothing and try to maintain the status quo? Do I continue to be oblivious and somehow miss subtle signs, that upon review were akin to flashing lights and giant arrows?It's the last one. I did that. Subtlety and I were never on the same wavelength. Somehow, he still didn't give up. He eventually abandoned subtlety, perhaps he realized I was a bit clueless. There was no mistaking him now, so I did what any sane person would do. I offered him one of my internal organs. My heart. Seriously, though, it was actually my pancreas. Shit got weird. But the best kind of weird.

Never dated anyone on internet. Could have happened once though. It was on a video game online forum It started with a sort of " behind the monitor " topic, where everyone shows pics of their faces, everyone sharing their photos. There was a poster that I used to respect a lot, especially her RPs. She was really skilled with her writting. I really hoped I would be able to enjoy a private RP with her one day, with our characters. Well, she decided to do like everyone else, she showed pics of her. I remember how afraid i was to reveal the spoiler hidding her face, doubting for a whole minute before deciding what I should do. For me she always was that avatar she wore and that had to represent her character. I didn't want to be forced to come back to reality where I could notice she was finally just a simple and common human, and actually not the awesome President of a fantasy State in a space opera game online. . But then, I finally clicked and actually... I was like " WOW ", really surprised. Not only I already respected and liked her without ever seeing her, but she had to be a hot girl behind her avatar too, which I didn't suspect at all. Though I didn't express my feelings in the topic, there were already a lot of guys jumping in the thread to scream how beautiful she was, my comment wasn't really needed lol. But another day, I finally decided to show pics of me too, after some hesitation, and to my surprise she jumped in the thread with a post telling me that she found me pretty. Well, first I felt ashamed, because she did what i didn't dare to do in front of everyone, and second I felt flattered. A lot of guys showed their faces, but she only said something positive to that point on my pics. That was the first time, I felt special. She had the courtesy to tell me what she thought, so I also revealed her what I thought about her the other day as well, very positive with quite romantic words that even surprised me. She seemed to appreciate my words. Well, you know what can happen, when one guy and one girl discover they are both attracted to each other, while they like each other too. It can go very well and fast. The same night we discussed a lot ( for hours ) together in the chat forum after midnight. Both excited, we told more about our lives that day than we ever did in a whole year. We weren't talking about our RPs and characters this time. We discovered that we were both currently alone, living in the same city, with approximately the same age and plenty of common interests apparently. So, it made us feel dangerously like a golden opportunity. Learned a lot about her. We finally decided that we should see each other. The issue is that a chat forum is public, other people reading the conversation jumped in the chat and wanted to come, so finally it would be a general IRL between several people. I was disappointed as well, but what could I do ? I wasn't going to say, "OH FOR FUCK SAKE, I might go somewhere with her, LEAVE US ALONE. " Well, anyways never went to that irl meeting. I lacked courage, I admit. I wasn't really confortable with the idea in the end. I didn't really believe that something could happen with someone I met on a video game online forum. That seemed too weird for me at that time. After that I/we moved on. It was just a dream. Anyways, I left the forum a few months after. Well, times have changed for sure. Today, I wouldn't think it's weird.

A forum (game-related or otherwise) gives you a shared interest as a starting point. From there you can find out how compatible you are in other areas.

While I have never dated anyone from BSN, I do believe one can find love anywhere. Though, maybe I am not the best person to listen to for advice; I do not really consider myself relationship material. This thread also reminded me of this video... Rephrasing: "Successful long distance relationship = length>distance"; if You know what I mean

I know quite a few couples who met on BSN. Some have lasted the distance, others have not been so fortunate. I think it takes a certain level of discipline and temperance necessary to maintain a relationship with someone from the BSN, that not everyone has. Actually, it's like that in general for online and long distance relationships.
However, the sooner and more you can physically meet up, the better. You need to bridge that gap and put plans into motion, otherwise you're just wasting your time. There is this nagging doubt involved in relationships where physical access is not guaranteed, and fixing that is absolutely necessary for the relationship to actually progress.
I remember being surprised by how many couples I did see spring up on BSN. But I suppose in our increasingly atomised society, a place like BSN, where people can share and discuss common interests is a place as good as any to fall for someone.

Does my bromance with E-Ro count? I think so. He and I make a hella cute couple. Can't wait 'till we meet up in real life. We'll definitely crack open a bottle of Scotch, light up a cigar and have a bro-out. We'll be sure to post pics of that in the BTM thread when it happens.

It's true Lorn we should get this shit back on track Cyber love or online LOVE! It's very rare to find. Love in general is very rare to find but finding it online in a gaming forum could mean that you are both sharing the same interest, gaming etc.. Which are imo very important, at least to me, since I've tried being with people who weren't gamers and they never understood my passion for it. It caused friction in the relationship. I know a few couples from bsn who made it, won't mention names, and a few from other sites as well so it's definitely possible!

Relationships that start online and then become long distance relationships are definitely not for the weak hearted. To have to spend the majority of your time away from them without any physical contact is something that not everyone can do or endure for long. Strength, faith, commitment, and most importantly trust are things a couple in this type of relationship must have in order to make it work. LIke Crusty said, meeting up in person is something that has to happen maybe not right away but as soon as possible to make the relationship work and continue progressing.
I met my boyfriend on BSN back in 2012. It happened in the ME3MP section of the forums in the first original Behind the Monitor thread. So we've been together for almost 4 years now. A pretty long time for a long distance relationship that is 5000 miles apart I might say.
We instantly hit it off and joked about on the forums and we became friends and then it just went from there. We played ME3MP together and then we eventually started to chat through webcam on skype. Then we met in person and have continued to do so since then.
I think it's extremely important to be able to see each other before meeting up in person. Nobody wants to end up on a Catfish episode I'm sure. Although it'd be worth it to get to meet Max and Nev. I know not everyone goes about it that way. But for me it was of utmost importance to get to know him face to face through webcam first so there wouldn't be any surprises later on and so that we could see that what we said about each other was true. We had seen each other through the BtM pictures already, but yet you never know..
It's been the hardest thing I've ever done but it's also the best thing I've ever done. I'm pretty sure that the majority of people would have given up by now. But we're not the majority of the people. I'm definitely not giving up especially when there's finally and end in sight to the distance.

In 2000-2001 in the long-distance section of our relationship we were both on dial-up. Any form of video chat would've been laughable. We had to make do with photos and long MSN Messenger conversations. When we watched the movie Spotlight, set in that period, our secondary reaction beyond the horrible subject matter was amazement that this was the world in which we met... What kept us going was planning to meet. She's Mexican, but was already planning to study in the UK, so she applied to my hometown University and was accepted. I supported her as best I could through the various application processes. She arrived on September 6th 2001. We were doing touristy things in York when 9/11 happened... For the first year she got single accommodation in case it didn't work out. We moved in together in 2002 and were married in 2004. Of course these days she Skypes back to her family in Mexico pretty much daily...
