Just go for shock then let down
"There was a bondage party and my church and I ended up mostly naked and handcuffed to the alter. The party mostly cleared out except for me and a guy passed out in the front pew. Eventually I hit him with a high heel and he went to get the keys from the priest... so nice of him..."
"Just kidding, we met online."
See, meeting online sounds totally normal and appropriate when placed in the right context.
PS. I've been married for 15yrs to a girl that I met behind a bee-bop club. I was looking for cigarettes and she wanted a ride home. I was nineteen. She was 15.
Given the details, people are shocked. But nobody really needs the details, do they?
20 yrs later. We simplify to "met in college" or "met in high school" depending on who is talking. Just easier that way.
