Washington, DC (PRWEB) January 20, 2010

With online dating quickly becoming the norm, online couples are finding themselves in relationships as unique as their beginnings; OnlineCouples.com is a free social network and community for couples to socialize, share information, and connect based on the common interest of how they met. OnlineCouples.com unites one of the largest shared interest group online today: couples who met through the internet.

The Washington Post recognized the website as “easing the path for online couples” in a recent article about its creators. Meeting online can introduce its own brand of challenges to a relationship. The site allows users to post questions and view answers from other members as a way of addressing this and other questions online couples may have.

“For us, our friends here are either single or they’re couples but they’re not interested in doing the things we want to do,” Jose Palma commented to the Washington Post. Onlinecouples.com offers couple networking based on interests and location, among other variables. Palma goes on to say about the site, “If it picks up it will be a good resource for us.” OnlineCouples.com allows its members to form groups within the site. It also gives users the ability to add blog and twitter widgets on their OnlineCouples.com profile and/or dashboard.

The site’s creators are an online couple themselves. Abby Tankenoff and Santiago Merea met through eHarmony in 2008 and created OnlineCouples.com using their own needs as a starting platform. Merea is quoted in the Washington Post article, “when you tell people you met online that becomes the primary thing of the relationship in people’s eyes.” Tankenoff adds, “when he [Merea] first told me about this idea, I was like, there is a market for this, people are always trying to legitimize their online relationships.” The couple both felt it was time to shake the taboo from online relationships and create a meeting place specifically designed for this growing number of couples.
