Change People's Focus
I can totally relate LW. I, too, met my guy online. I felt extremely uncomfortable about telling people for the same reasons as you. I was tired of getting "that look" - they one where they think you're a bit of a loser and perhaps desperate and most certainly hooking up with a mass murderer.
So, I stopeed telling people. I now say, "We met on a blind date and our first date was amazing! We met at a restuarant on the river, and ended up staying for 7 hours!" and then I launch into telling our whole first date story.
I find that that moves pepole's attention from 'how' we met to 'what happened' when we met and they get distratcted with the whole first date thing and I never have to explain how we met again.
It works like a charm.
And I'm with you - online is a great way to meet people. I'm marrying my guy in May. :-)
