I met my husband online (1999). We chatted for a few weeks, and decided we wanted to meet. We met doing the Jimmy Fund walk and have been doing it every year since. Ironically the walk is tomorrow. Well we were friends for a few months, during this time my medical history came out. He proposed in 2001, and we were married last year. 

Jan 03- April 03 I required to have 8 surgeries and he was by my side the whole way.  I never thought I would find anybody myself, but I did. I would and do recommend online dating.

Bill, you prolly should go and get it checked out -- it might start
affecting your vision.  I have tumors on head, underneath scalp, but
have not had any brain tumors develop yet.  Tumors on head cause alot
of headaches, though, seem to cause extra tension in scalp muscles.
Sounds like you have an internal tumor, though. :( 

By the way, I met my future husband online -- and it was easier for me
to meet him, because I wasn't insecure about my appearance.  We became
good friends, and by the time I told him about my NF, it didn't matter
to him.  Just a thought -- sometimes its easier to meet online because
appearance isn't an immediate issue.  Its hard when you feel
unnattractive to other people - but once you get past the shallow
people, you find that there are people who choose a mate for who they
are, and not they look like. BTW,  I know there is a yahoo group
called NFsingles. Not sure what its like, has anyone else tried it?

How do other people feel about dating online?  Has anyone else meet
someone online?  It might be fun to find out how many people are
couples in here and how they met. :)
