I was thinking about this while in the bath this morning. Does it matter where you meet? Does it have any effect on you or others around you? Do you judge others on how and where they met?
What are your thoughts on people that have met say, in a pub? Or in a club? What about a blind date? Personal ads or the one I'm really getting at, through the Internet? I obviously have had a little personal experience regarding the last of these and have found it to be very strange in some ways. It's strange, because it hasn't been strange, if that makes any sense whatsoever.
It hasn't seemed strange to me regarding my lass, but yet I've still not been comfortable to tell everyone where we met. Why could this be?
I've told some people and it hasn't been a big thing to them and yet I think it would be to others. My parents for instance.
It just strikes me as odd.
We met online, (this very forum), talked for a year and a half on MSN and the phone and then met up. We just got on really well, as cheesy as it sounds, we just "clicked". We've been a couple for over 4 months and now and now she's just my lass. No longer is she a name on a forum, my contacts list and mobile. She's ma' woman, innit.
The way I see it is that is doesn't matter really how we or anyone else meets, it's how you get on and relate to each other and those around you that matters.
I've taken some stick for meeting her online, (even worse then that it has made me talk like a third division football manager now and then).
It has been called "sad" that we met online and are now dating. Why is it sad? I didn't come on this website looking for totty. I mean, the fact that the sexy beast that is Light comes on here keeps me coming back, but that isn't why I joined. If I'd joined a gym or something because I wanted to go to it and then I met someone there, would that not be the same thing? Is it simply because when we first met, we didn't really meet because we were an hour away from each other that causes people to look down their nose?
What if I'd signed up to a dating website, would that then actually be sad because I was looking for people online and the perception may be that I can't "get" a girl in "real" life?
I'm just wondering what all your thoughts are on this and if any of you have had any personal experience of any of it.
Now go, my pretties, and go on Light, you gorgeous creature.

It depends on how much other peoples opinions matter to you, two met up so you can't have any major objection but you still choose to lie about how, i can understand why but it just seems a little sad that it would matter that much or you could just say it's unnecessary.
I think their might be some similarities between how people see net relationships and how they view that first relationship. Everyone goes on about how it's not real and all the rest but some are and some do last as people on this forum will back up.
Personal opinion, i dont care one bit. I met my ex(yes i know given what i said) in school when i was 14, we were together til 20 and i'll defend that relationship to anyone who claims it wasn't as real at the time as anything else. It has actually got to the point now though where i start to doubt it myself because of the opinions of others and i hate that. You've got to stick up how you feel and have felt and not let people attack your memories which i guarantee will happen if you two dont work out.

It just seems geeky and not something you'd wanna boast about. I don't tell people I post on an Internet chat forum and hardly anyone knows that I've got a website. It's nothing big but it's still geeky and I don't want people to know about it as I feel that they'd think differently of me.
It's one of those things that you wanna keep to yourself, but in your case you know you can't and you're scared about explaining it properly.
A dating agency would be far worse, that makes you appear far more desperate. You can just bend things slightly and say that you were introduced over the Internet by a mate and things went from there. That doesn't sound half as bad.

I kidnapped her.
Then waited for Stockholm Syndrome to set in.
Y'know, that old chestnut.

Met mine in a maths class.
ROCK AND ROLL!!!

Doesn't really matter.
Just make up something else at dinner parties ten years later if you're embarrased or something.

"What if I'd signed up to a dating website, would that then actually be sad because I was looking for people online and the perception may be that I can't "get" a girl in "real" life?"
That's the view I used to have.. And it's rather narrow minded.
It is weird how people consider couples first meeting on the net, sad.
My guess is because there's so much in the media about men posing as teens and meeting up with other teens then try to rape/kill/etc them, it kinda makes people have this one view of all people who surf the net: perverts.
I used to know one man who met a woman on the net - and ended up marrying her - but they divorced and he did it again. He always freaked me out though so I, of course, had this opinion that all men surfing dating sites and meeting others were weird. I was only 9 or 10 [or 12 or 14..] at the time, so y'know. But I don't think it's important at all now though. Where you meet doesn't really define who you are, or what your relationship will be like, does it? If it doesn't, then I don't see why it matters. It's your relationship, nobody elses. Sure thing, opinions hurt but begger them.
Edit: Can't remember if I stuck to the topic again. Either way..

Not a lot, just that we met through a mutual friend.
So what have you told your parents?
