Yes, it happened to me. It was Dec 1998 I started emailing a nice guy and soon we started calling on the phone. I knew from the first week that I wanted to marry this guy, but I had never even seen a picture of him.
We finally met a couple months later and then got married in March 2000. We've been married 4 1/2 years and we have a son together now. He has also been the perfect daddy to my older daughter. She was just a baby when he first met her and he always took care of her just like she was his.
