internet dating not an option ray?
Get to know them on msn etc before meating ing up~?
Few pwople on here have had success.
I have only ever met 2 people online.
1 was a guy who lives 5 mins walk from me actually, this was like 5 years ago and it was through a hifi forum (I was a big hifi geek).
2nd time was about 3 years ago, about 7 years ago i tried IRC for the first time, and picked a random room and chatted and started to talk to this girl from Vegas, whom i met about 3 years ago in London for the weekend, but as you can see that i am single now, you can guess that didn't go well. The spark wasn't there in person, she is now married and just had a baby boy actually. Which i am happy for her.
I have been talking to another girl (also from the states) too, and she is coming over in late june, she's already booked her flight so i am definitely meeting up with her, but she is coming over with her friend. Not sure how that's going to to, she is stunning, great personality but things she said in conversations suggests to me that she doesn't like dating much, she doesn't like the dependency of some people get when they are in a relationship.
On the other hand, i have been talking to another aussie everyday now on msn for the past 9 months, but she is Sooooo far away! I talk to her all the time and i think in a strange way that at this moment in time she knows me best as I don't share much of my thoughts to people in person, but i do with select few people on msn, i find i can express myself better through typing than speaking and the fact that the anonymity removes the fear of opening up to someone. So in a lot of ways she knows me better more than some friends of mine that i've known for 15+ years. She couldn't understand how is it that i am single (yes, she's seen a photo of me
), i am guessing that is down to the lack and limited opportunities in my life at the moment.
Even if i did meet someone, i think the gf would be pretty annoyed if she can only see me in weekdays only. I would be dumped after a while when i couldn't even go out for a meal in the evening at the weekends.
