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.

I like being mature
> You mean you ran out of conversation and had to talk about that
> waster? That's gotta suck, really. He's so boring.
Heh, I could have saved their relationship.
It's like a film... I'll play myself.
Tho, when reading your name on here i still say 'sheppy' in my head.
Tell your kids that.
