Meeting Stories | Submit Written

Whether you're looking for a relationship for an hour or a lifetime, meeting people online can be a great way to do it -- or a disaster.

Tell us your story (or series of stories).

You can email it to us at mo-stories@weblab.org OR fill out the form on the right to submit a written story OR click here to submit a video story.

Please don't hesitate to email with any questions or comments: mo-stories@weblab.org

- Who were you looking to meet?
- What happened?
- What went right, what went terribly wrong?
- Are you still with that person?
- And how did the experience change you or your views?

Whether you met someone through a dating site, social networking, Craigslist, or something completely different, we're looking for stories that surprise, delight, and even shock.

You can use a screen name to protect your identity if you want to, but we do ask that you give us your real contact information in case we want to follow up with you.

Some of the submitted stories will be published on this site, and some may be used as part of a new TV series now in development.

We're looking forward to hearing your story.

We'd love to get your story in writing or on video if you have the time, but if you don't we have an offer you can't refuse: For a limited time, you can TELL us your story. Just click on the link below. You'll get a call right away and will have up to 3 minutes to record your story. We won't use the audio file without your permission. But if we want to add your story to this site, we'll transcribe and edit it.

Thanks, and have fun!
