    Reddit...I guess I'll have to check it out. I thought it was a blog site.

    It's a social news website. Our meeting was completely serendipitous.

    Yahoo chat actually. :)

    My aunt is in her 40's and she uses a couple of different dating sites that are free for women. She's met some really great guys on them. She just will never marry again.

    I met my husband at a friend's New Year's Eve party. We seemed to hit it off, and even kissed at midnight. I was having friends over for brunch the next day and invited him. He didn't show, and I didn't see him again for another ten months when the same friend hosted a Halloween party. This time, when he asked for my number at the end of the evening I asked if he was going to call me this time. He did...and the rest is history. I later learned that when I first met him on New Years, he was living with another woman. They'd had a fight at dinner, and she didn't come to the party. They broke up a month or so later, so by October, he was available.

    maybe the non-dating sites are the best. I'm happy for your aunt. I tried Match a long time ago...met guys but they ends up being a series of guys just wanting to get laid or psychos. One guy was on we dated etc and then he says he is just on it to meet friends...WHAT?!

    Way back in the stone ages (14 years ago) at work...don't know what I'd do if I had to start dating again! I'm too old fashioned.

    Enter at your own risk. Although it has some interesting things. there are sickos who post terrible things on there as well. If you make an account, you can adjust it so you don't see that sick stuff.

    I asked the boyfriend of a co-worker if he knew anyone who liked short, chubby girls. He said, "No, but I have a friend who likes seafood." The rest is history.
