Internet Dating?

[J0Al1]

I have a friend that thinks it's great. Personally I just got pestered by odd people.

Anywayz - was wondering, what are your experiances?

Wouldnt waste me time with specifically dating sites.

I registered on a biker one ages ago, but only cos the owner of the site wanted me to jazz it up with my witty comments when it first opened, to draw people in (before it was successful enough to become a pay-to-join site) and she gave me free membership.

Mind you, I didn't do much once I went on there, anyway. Forgot me nickname and login details fairly promptly, so I didnt get on there much, to be the witty cosmopolitan boulevardier-ess (?) I have been known to be in the past.

I still get the odd "wink" from members on that site, but I can't get in now cos I ain't paying to get on any website, least of all a dating one. So all those biker romeos I must be missing out will have to find a two-wheeled heroine elsewhere.

Besides. I have mr hellkat. What more does a girl need?

But if I didn't ... I can't say I'd go on one specially to find the "love of my life". If I can't find him in a pub like almost all the others (although I did find one just lurking about in the street gazing at me like a lovesick puppy, LOL) ... then there's no point looking online for him.

Got enough problems with the men I've already had in me life, and their remarkable tendency to reappear just when I am getting over them.

I don't need begging desperado needy types as well.

Internet's a great way to meet people accidentaly. If you go looking for it, god knows what you will find.

I have dated a few from internet dating sites.

Its a bit different from meeting girls in the real world as you already know they are looking for a bloke. Internet chat is both of you comfy at home so you can both relax and it doesnt matter too much, inhibtions are a bit lower. Once you get to know them, you meet up. You then either get on or dont.

Once you get over the differences and learn how to make a success of it, its quite good.

Some people would meet girls anyway, if thats not you, internet dating is pretty good,

[Born2bVile]

Never went looking through Internet sites. Was already spoken for when the interwebby thing took off.

But...........

Throught the net, I've kept in touch with people I would have otherwise lost touch with and in the meantime, met a shedload of new mates.

But...........

It's so easy for people to misrepresent themselves on here. I never believe what people say on here til I can meet them face to face (as HK knows )

Cheers,

Byrnie.

I only ever met one person from the net, and I am still with him 5 years later!

We chatted for about 2 months solidly before we met. I was nervous about meeting him, but it all worked out good

Statted talking to my GF on the 'net.
Still with her a year and a half later. I was nervous about meeting up with her but we got on great online and it was even better face to face. I never thought I'd be the kind of person to meet a girl off the net but glad I did

These sites must be so short of women, they have given me free membership back! You get a free month trial. Still wont use it.

Think it's ok meeting someone from a forum, it's a different approach (not that I ever have). Actually thats a lie, I did meet someone once (years ago) and we became friends, still keep up once in a blue moon.

The internet can "aid" relationships, but I think for solely starting a blossom relationship, I think it could probably be a bit haphazard, people mis-represent themselves on the internet.

I mean with my current long term girlfriend, we were doing exactly the same subjects in Sixth form and A levels, we knew there was something there, but were far too shy to obviously say anything in real life without the aid of a couple of Vodkas, of which i'd only take advantage.

So we got chatting on MSN, felt I could word stuff better as I am crap at speaking when shy, used the right words, told her I liked her, big gamble, but she admitted straight away that she liked me too and had done for ages. I remember the staying up til 3AM on MSN stage when we would chat about absolutely anything. Then we met up privately and found out more about each other, me being completely smitten cause I had thought she was fit since I was 12 so this was quite an accomplishment.

2 years on, living together, big future together and the internet did help.

Only ever met up with one girl I spoke to in a chat room years ago (and I'm talking 8 or so years ago!!). She was ok, really nice girl in fact, only a bit older than me and was looking for the whole 'settle down' sort of thing, only I wasn't ready for any of that at the time so we went our seperate ways after a few months.

Thinking back, she had a smaching rack on her too!

I met someone online in Dec '95-Jan '96ish. We weren't looking for a relationship, it just developed. She was in the States. We met for the first time in April '96, A fiance visa was granted (the first in the NY British embassy based on the weight of emails and phone bills alone) and she moved here in the May. We married in the July.

We're still together, and as happy as we were back then.
