I might give that reaction..
I'm not fond of online dating only because of many my friends' experiences. So if you told me, I might get that look on my face. But it's not actually a look of condescention, it's a look of "oh, now I understand how it worked, the posting, the screening, the initial tentative contact, the growing exchanges etc." so there's not a lot more to ask about how you met, you just told me in one pithy sentence. And I'd be thrilled for you. I have one friend who tells her online meeting story about her husband in such a hilarious way - her demands, the impossibility of him meeting them, he up and did anyway - that it keeps everyone enthralled. It's not the online bit, it's whether that fact is an ending or a beginning to your story. I find "our parents chose our profiles online, we met and agreed to marry" by my Indian friends an equal showstopper - what does one say after that?! When they go on to describe what it was like to meet under their parent's eyes, that's when it gets to be fun.
