Would you ever date and possibly marry someone you met in WoW?

met in early vanilla, married in 2007. Still hitched to this day.
Not against it and would consider it, but I'm in my late 30's so don't really think many players are around my age. Least none that I'm aware of.
if they were right for me and i saw the potential for love, then of course. what matters is if you love that person, how you met isn't really a deal breaker

Nah. They may turn out to be a G.I.R.L (Goblin in Real Life) after my engineering recipes and hard earned gold :( Learned my lesson after trying the dating site gnomemeetup.com Never making the same mistake again!


This wins the internet.

Here, have a cookie.

Aye ;)
Nah, all you guys are freakin weird...

Sure, if it ever arose. But unfortunately, I seem to attract the most insane people.


im not trying to be a mean, really im not.. but maybe it's bc your name is "Yayayayayaya".... it's just a possibility. again, not trying to be mean.
I'd date my hunter...she is smokin' hot and a Brit by day and wolf by night.

So I hope she's into dungeons and stuff because one of us would be locked up during the moonlight...until we established a non-howling safeword.

Honestly.. I would, but I would have to get to know the person pretty well first before actually meeting them in person for a date. Some people are too clingy and can get attached and won't let go when you say no.
Married 20 years to someone I met online (message board).

No, I would not rule WoW out because it doesn't matter where you meet that other person. Maintaining it is key, which is a problem every relationship will encounter no matter what.

If you feel the magic and your gut is telling you to give it a chance, then go for it. If you are plagued with doubts, then follow your instincts.

It's body fat not a criminal record. He went full zoomer and was literally traumatised by disappointment. Can you imagine being so delicate and privileged that a fat person causes you trauma? Elemayo!


Oh no, I'm not traumatised by it, nor do I think it caused any form of trauma. When someone lies, they're a deceitful person. That's just fact. I don't want to be with a deceitful person. I'm just more careful about online relationships because people can really be deceitful.

It was catfishing, someone lied about who they were. That one lie created a fake persona of someone. Why do you think those who get catfished don't end up being with the person after finding out?

I don't care if anyone thinks it's shallow, but everyone has their preferences and everyone has their standards. If I don't want to be with someone who's deceitful, that's my decision lol.


Shallow didn't even enter my mind honestly. I agree that it's okay to have preferences and standards, I just don't feel that omitting details of her weight constitutes a lie. She sent you old pictures, but they were still her pictures. It's okay that we disagree on that part. It's okay you felt you couldn't trust her, trust is absolutely important in a relationship and if you feel like she was deceitful I'm all for you ending things. You can't, nor should you be expected to, be with someone who betrays your trust.

It wasn't my intention at all to attack you or make you feel like you needed to defend yourself so I apologize. I completely support your decision, even if we disagree. It's just a bad situation all around :(

Unofficial rules for dating or meeting someone on the internet

1. Start with pics
2. Use voice chat next
3. Use webcam with skype or whatever
4. Next, start sharing personal details and interests
5. If #4 is compatible with you, then meet in real life
6. If #5 works out, date for about a year
7. Profit with marriage and kids.


Not always I know this may sound contradictory coming from me as I'm no feminist but...

Often women are afraid to put their pics up online as there is this toxic mascinity that assumes if she puts her photo online she must be asking for trouble. Let's face it there's lots of pervy men online not as many here on wow of course...just meet in a public place when you do meet so if the person is actually a two headed ogre in real life you have the chance to run a mile
Also you don't have to tell anyone your weight but tbh better to say you are plus size so the people that do talk to you appreciate you for who you are not shallow stuff
Met my husband 9 years ago in Westfall, he rescued me from some angry Kobolds. We’ve been married for 6 years (will be 7 on February 11th).
I lived and played in EU at the time, moved to the US 5 years ago. Still hoping that one day it could be possible to move EU/US account stuff, would be nice to get my Zulian tiger and Tyraels charger back, oh well... what one does for love
Met in vanilla, moved in around cata, married in pandas.
Why not? It's a real person behind the keyboard. Just don't get catfished!
I dunno, pretty sure that my husband wouldn't go for that.
Only if she had a lot of achievement points and big !@#$.
I've met a few absolutely amazing women on WoW. Some touchingly thoughtful(I just received a handmade birthday gift in the mail from a WoW friend!), kind, generous, others dark and funny.

Of course that isn't the only criteria. One big one is chemistry. The spark that pushes a friendship into stomach butterflies. That's happened, but geography and a few other circumstances ensured it went no where. To sum it up, it takes chemistry and geographical mobility for that to work, or it stays a friendship/fizzles. Under the right circumstances, I'd be willing to meet, or even move after the needed assurances, but again, only under the right circumstances.
I did date someone I met in WoW. It didn't go well.

On the flip side, I do know married couples that met in WoW.

Many stories I've heard about people meeting up and having successful happy marriages through wow. Of course I've also heard stories of cat fishing, cheating, people getting robbed and other bad things. Now its always nice to hear success stories and good to hear about the bad ones to know what to watch out for. Would this ever be a remote possibility for you under the right circumstances?
It's happened to me. Best years of my life and still counting.
