Internet dating

A few years ago when I was going through a dry patch in my love life I delved into the world of internet dating. I kept it hush-hush from many of my friends who I thought would laugh at me and think I was sad and loopy, but after living in a small quiet Yorkshire town for six months and worrying that I may end up having to marry a farmer, (no offence to farmers!), I thought, well what the heck!


I 'met' lots of strange and interesting guys, but when it came to actually taking things further and meeting up with them, I always wimped out. Four years later as online social networking grows at a crazy rate (even my Mum wants to know how to get onto Facebook!), does internet dating still have the same stigma attached to it? TheSite.org wants to know all about your experience with the world of online dating. Have you met someone online and it's been a disaster, or did you meet the man/woman of your dreams? Would you recommend it, or tell others to stay away from the perils of dating a stranger who talks the online talk, but in reality is sexy as a slug. Go to our board discussion to take part in this month's vox pop.

I think the stigma with regards to online dating is slowly disappearing. As the internet is used and trusted more and more, people are opening up to what it can offer and realising that there are good bits to it as well as bad.

I've never tried internet dating, so far, but if I hit a dry patch then I might give it a whirl!

I gave it a go a couple of years ago but promptly gave up. Anyway, the other day, someone found my profile and messaged me. We agreed to meet up on Wednesday night, and we had a terriffic time. If you get the right person, its highly recommended. But ending up with the right person is what its all about...if you get the wrong person, you'll hate it.
