...to still be a bit embarrassed DP and I met through a dating website?

[CinnamonSwirl31]

We have a beautiful baby daughter and are really happy, but I don't always admit to people how we met! It still seems stereotypically not a cool thing to do. Have a feeling I'm being a bit silly! Any other dating website success stories from 'normal' people?

[SantanaBinLorry]

We and hubby met through a music forum. Our first date was a game of drum skin Frisbee :)

[AnnieOnAMapleLeaf]

I met my DH on a newsgroup in 2001. We have two beautiful children together and will celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary next month.

[Longdistance]

Nothing to be embarrassed about. I did Internet dating about 7 years ago, prior to meeting dh.

I met guys I otherwise would have never met. Our paths would never have crossed if it wasn't for Internet dating.

I met DH playing EverQuest :) he was a dwarf on a pony, I was a 7foot white tiger. I always used to get lost - so I'd die, he'd drag my corpse to wherever we were camping and then resurrect me /sigh.

[SecretWitch]

I met my husband on a website, he was the only one who did not send me a picture of his penis. I took that as a good sign, we met, had a baby girl and then got married. A fairy tale story to be sure..

[Mandatorymongoose]

I'm joining the WoW meeting crew

Met my DH in Serpentshrine Cavern, wiping mercilessly on Leotheras. We don't play anymore but have lots of fond memories.

I met my DH in a yahoo chatroom called down the pub :o. It was december 1999. We have been married 11 years now :o Hes great and I loves him to bits

[aquashiv]

Know loads of couples that met this way.


I think it's a very sensible way to see if couples are initially compatible.

[HarleyQuinn]

I met my DH on MSN chat rooms, we have been together for 11 years with two DC, nothing strange about it :)

[Apatite1]

I met mine on a blind date. How old fashioned is that!

[GrouchyKiwi]

I met my DH on a website for a series of fantasy books. The vicar even brought it up at our wedding (I didn't know about this, mind you...)

I'm from NZ, he's British so people always ask how we met and I tell them it was an online book club. Sometimes they get a little but they'll cope.

I met my dp on pof, now have a house together, a gorgeous ds, ttc number 2 and getting married in 2016 on the date we had our first date. I've no problem saying where we met although in the beginning I was a little bit embarrassed about it.

[ApplebyMennym]

Yep met my DH on a dating site. Not ashamed at all. We never would have met otherwise as his hometown is about 15 miles from mine, he's 5 years older than me and back then we had different interests.

I never would have worked up the courage to speak to him if our paths had crossed at any point, I definitely would have fancied him though! He says he would have chatted me up though. Judging by how persistent he was when we first met I can quite believe it!

[ikeaismylocal]

I also met my dp playing world of warcraft, it looks like it isn't an unusual way to meet!

I think it's great to meet your future dp online, me and dp are so completly different, I worked in a creative work hard/play hard industry, dp was a truck driver, we lived in different countries and had very different interests, our paths would have never ever crossed in real life. We spent a really long time getting to know each other as friends online without any pressure of a sexual relationship, I am so thankful that I met him.

I am not cool and don't especially aspire to be cool we are probably not very normal, but we are not terribly old either!

We see the way we met as a modern love story. We were both taurans, ds's favorite teddy is a cow called "mamma moo" I think it's very fitting :)

[CaptChaos]

Loving the WoW romances!

We thought we were the only ones (who were still together!)

[Whenwillwe3meetagain]

Dh and I met on mysinglefriend 6 years ago and expecting dc1 in November. I know at least 4 couples who met on the same site. I'm v happy to tell people how we met.

[Wetthemogwai]

My DP and I met because he was my EX's best mate. He's 16 years older than me, 6 inches shorter and 3 years later we're still getting the 'that's a bit of an odd set up' reaction

We're very happy and he's moving into my house over the summer. Who cares how you met? Even if it is a 'bit of an odd set up' :p

[roundtable]

I met my dh clubbing...I find that embarrassing.

I don't think Internet dating is embarrassing though.

Congratulations to all the couples with new babies!

[Neverknowingly]

I met my DH through a dating site 7 years ago. I'm very happy to admit it to anyone in RL. Way back when we met I did not know anyone who had done OD (much more common now) so I was happy to let friends know that it had worked for us and I was also kind of proud of my self that I had taken some pro-active steps to try and get what I wanted out of life.

[Kundry]

I met DH through an old-fashioned dating agency. We both share a hobby but it isn't one that lends itself to meeting people - dating agency specialized in our hobby. Otherwise we'd likely never have met anyone let alone each other!

However I find it embarrassing so I say we met online

[Squitten]

We I met DH online too. Nobody of our generation bats an eyelid but we have never told the truth to our families because it would be very much frowned upon.

I like to say we did it before it was cool!

[TeaRex]

Nothing wrong with meeting online :) I met husband through friends but if I hadn't I would have tried internet dating. What is there to loose?
Also how the hell are you supposed to meet someone if you're a bit older (I'm talking anything older than a teenager) you work in the same place with the same people, you live in the same town with the same friends and go to the same places. Internet dating just gives you more options, I have a few couple friends that met online and they're all loved up :)

[ElleMcFearsome]

You and Capt same here! Only it was random (non-dodgy) RP on an RP server

[VelmaD]

met my boyfriend a year ago next month on plenty of fish. never ever been happier, through years of dating and marriage. we are perfect for each other, as vom inducing as that is. I love that we met online, as its still not all that common in my circle of friends (first to divorce, theyre all childhood sweethearts or together since early 20s types) I enjoyed Internet dating, did it back in the days of msn chat rooms too. though there were some shockers and im glad im no longer doing it! I was boyfriends first proper go at it. hes a jammy git.
