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

The thing is on here the proportion is going to be disproportionate as we are more technology/internet based and thats' how we all met one another. I think for the main part in general people still tend to meet out and about rather than on the internet, no?

I'd agree with that, Will. So us internetties are still freaks, even in this day and age

I didn't meet Lynnie online, but I did meet my ex through a chat room, and we were together over 5 years and ended up getting married, and then divorced. I certainly don't look down on it and if I were single now I'm sure I'd do internet dating as I'm not the most confident person when it comes to chatting up women, but via the internet I can be myself easily.

Well didn't meet over the internet, I was hammered and in a nightclub, but I'd say it certainly had an influence, we only went to Santa Barbara because on Facebook there were loads of hot girls there. And with a transatlantic relationship, if it wasn't for the internet, communication (VOIP, IM, social networking, e-mail etc), would be far, far more difficult than it has been.

So although we didn't meet on-line, I very much doubt we would be together if it wasn't for the good ol' t'internet

I suppose technically Piggy and I didn't really meet online either. It was only the forums that put us in the same place at the same time. Before we met in the pub, we'd not chatted to each other at all, apart from a couple of posts in the meet organising thread.

Once we were in the pub we just got chatting, Piggy bought me a drink and I repaid her by being awesome and well worth a pull.

Same as us really, Phil and I met at the Leeds meet, although we didn't become a couple until years later

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
