So how many “internet” couples are there here? - Page 4

Although Iain and I didn't meet for the first time online we never really spoke in real life. We met at airsoft but he thought my brother was actually my boyfriend! Yuck!

I randomly added someone on msn and just happened to mention airsoft and he said his friend played, asked if I knew him etc. Turns out it was Iain and he gave me his msn addy and we spoke for hours on end.

3 years on we've got a house, a kitty cat and ratties. A big happy family!

lol.

I've also been stalked over the internet three times. Once by Iain's ex, once by a french lesbian and once by an Indian yoga teacher who wanted me to visit him in India and become his wife!

Couldn't agree more... it feels a bit "forced" to me for some reason.

I think the same would go for me for any dating agency though, be it online or offline. But it's easy for me to say that when I'm in a happy relationship. If I were single and couldn't meet Mr Right then I might see it differently.

All depends what works for the individual though

i met my OH on a forum based in glasgow's alternative "scene" if you will.

but it involved alot of real work bumping into and friends of friends due to being such a small geographic area and interest pool.

Not at all. Good way of making sure they aren't a gashead!
