Have you ever tried online dating?

I'm gonna be real transparent right now. My hubby and I met online...wayyyy back in 1999. Yep. We talked online and on the phone for a couple of weeks, met in person June 18th, were engaged on August 14th and were married on October 10th of 1999. You read that right...we were married within 5 months of meeting online.

It was kind of unchartered territory at the time. I did it after a friend gave me a little nudge. It was totally God who was instrumental in the whole thing. There were 2 guys that responded to my profile and one I wrote off right off the bat. Too old. Don't know what it was about Joey, but it stuck. Almost 14 years later and our marriage gets better every day.

So, are you going to try it? If so, there are some rules you should definitely go by.
