i met about a zillion
women in the "normal" way - bars, clubs, the freezer section at the grocery store, bars, standing in line at the dmv, church (ok, that was a disaster), bookstores, concerts, the museum, you name it. did i mention bars?
then i tried online dating. personally, i saw it as a way to eliminate those who i already knew i wasn't going to be compatible with - conservative, religious, wanting children. nothing wrong with those traits, just not for me. if i can click on a check box and remove those who want that from my list of possibilities, well, hell, why not? why subject yourself (and others) to something you (and they) don't want?
i met my wife online. when we were still getting to know one another's family and friends, the question of how we met came up often. why lie? i would say immediately, "online". if anyone had a negative reaction they can just kiss my ass. i waited 40 years to find the right girl to marry, and i'm not going to apologize to anyone about how we met. if this is THE guy for you, you should feel the same way. if you're ashamed of how you met, you should probably rethink what opinions mean to you.
