Dating sites

No problem, I've had the same experience as you with dating sites, got loads of new friends now - shame nothing ever came of any of em.

Good luck

I met some really nice people (including my current girlfriend whose a total gem!) through Dating Direct.

I was discussing dating sites with a mate the other day and he suggested we start OcUKupid!

What ya reckon?

It it was me that had met people I would say via a dating site I would say. I don't feel the need to hide by the "friend" statement.

I have no problem admitting i've used dating sites, so I don't see why you're bothering with this line of 'insults'.

I used match.com about five years ago.
I'm now married to the first girl I met via the site.

That'd be too easy, it's not hard finding men who just want to roll around in bed.

And if you're sick of those, I prefer doing more then just rolling around...

We need an effeminate homosexual man to do the matchmaking and introductions, just like on TV.
Damgerous or Gilly should fit the bill rightly.

Tsk, says he whose girlfriend he just posted into the photos thread!

Oh, and to you people trying to one-up Hate about not being ashamed, he mentioned several posts ago how he'd already made lots of friends via a dating site or two. Put your specs on!

Windle · 7 Jan 2008 at 15:32

I'm sure Gumtree.com has a dating bit.

Dinomania · 7 Jan 2008 at 15:33

I did have a wee look at Gumtree. Some very odd posts on there though... And I daresay I'd get odd responses...

Good lord! I was only trying to have a bit of joke.

He was also probably typing his reply while I was doing mine.

Don't have a cow man!

Don't try and reason with people who take dating threads so seriously

Stories like that make me smile.

www.plentyoffish.com

Met my other half is 10 months now on there.

Dinomania · 7 Jan 2008 at 16:18

The plentyoffish one looks like it might be a goer so far

Will have a look at that tonight...

Do people still think these sites are a bit of a strange way to meet people? I think it's probably an effective way - better than drunkenly ranting at some poor victim in the pub I suppose.

I think there's probably still a stigma to the whole internet dating thing as far as non-net savvy people are concerned. For those who have done it... what do you say to family and friends when they ask where you met.... do you fabricate some story or are you honest?
