Hey, that was in October. I'm over it. 
Dating sites Page 24
I always used to tell people how me and the ex met. I wasn't embarassed to say a dating website. Most of the time someone would be really interested, or say "oh yeah, I know someone else who did that", or that they'd been thinking about it themselves.
I still get people raising their eyebrows when they learn that I met my wife online, even though it happened in the last century. It's time they caught up.
Absolutely.
I dated a bird thru a naughty dating site the other night, I'd seen her picture, but when I turned up I didn't have a clue who I was looking for. Took half hour to find each other. Nearly had to ask some bird to take her kit off to see if I recognised her. It's quite complicated this dating site thing, think I'll just go back to pinching birds' bums at the bar, much simpler.
Well I met my current woman friend on a site but didn't want to tempt fate. Been going out for 11 months now.
The paid for sites are for those who are serious about it although there is a free one - Plenty of Fish - where I've made a couple of good friends too.
I was on mysinglefriend which was good value for money when I was on it 2 years ago. I believe they've upped the prices quite a bit since then.
As I photograph like a real ugly muthaf**ker I never had any success at dating sites so I'm going to NA and AA meetings.
They're full of women with depression and low self esteem and therefore easy to get a leg-over with a bit of targeted flattery.
I'm thinking of trying Al-anon next which are support groups for partners of alcoholics. This is handy because if you pull most of their husbands will have forgot they were out all night after 12 hours.

I remember seeing the pair of you on Brighton pier last year. You looked a lovely couple.

Are you involved with anyone at present, Ben?

*wonders if to take offence*...
I will just say "Probably".
Quote: Godot Taxis @ March 5 2010, 12:35 AM GMTAww Zoo that's sad. Just tell the truth - it's nothing to be ashamed of. (not that I really know how you met (and I'm not asking))
Alcohol in pubs and clubs is likely to be banned within the next thirty years anyway so most people will be dating online.
I never know what to say either. I told one of my friends at uni how I met him, and just got a lot of " 
Reallllyyyy?" for about a week. It has been forever now, though!
A friend also just leaned over my shoulder and asked "Is this where you met Elliot?"
I don't think there's anything strange about internet dating; I know lots of people who have done it. However, I do know a lot of people (mostly older) who do find it an odd way to 'court'.
See, I wouldn't want people to think I've been on a dating website, so I don't like saying 'we met on the internet'. Cos that's what people assume that means.
But since some of you lot have gone on dating websites, and you're not particularly sad weirdos, maybe I should remedy my opinion on that sort of thing. 
Obviously my friends and family know already how we met, it's just new people I don't know too well who ever ask, and not that often, so it's not a big deal anyway, really.
If people ask who I don't know that well, or unlikely to see again. I'll say "through friends". It's just not worth it sometimes.

Yes, there's much worse things in life.
