and you make this YOUR problem?
Good heavens - what a long, complicated solution to what is basically a non-problem. Am I wrong in feeling that a snooty response to your "we met on-line" says a heck of a lot more about the snooty responder than it does about you? Isn't the snooty-responder basically saying "well, I'm decidedly behind the times, and I like things done the old-fashioned way... I think you hould have met in a bar where you saw one another - somewhat drunk - and found each other hot enough to hook up, then or later. THAT's the way these things should be done." Do you feel that this type of position is one from which a snooty response is appropriate? I certainly don't. Additionally, when you meet someone through an on-line service - don't you first get some idea of how that person's BRAIN works (after probably sorting for age and location, and then for 'looks' within your own acceptable range)? Can't we agree that this is a better method for connecting two personalities than almost any that has come before? Seems that way to me.
I had a string of great experiences dating on-line, and am now pratically married to the last man I met that way (we have to wait until after our planned move to Norway to actually get hitched, since THIS government doesn't allow it) - so I'm a strong advocate for on-line-dating.
Tell everyone! And then let your listeners display their hipness or lack thereof!
