Those That Have Met Your Wife/GF On The Internet, Were You Embarrased To Tell........
others where you met?
Did any of you lie about it?
Don't ask, "Why would I be," you know why.

I think about 10 or so years ago it was "embarrassing", but not so much now.
In this age, relationship dynamics have "evolved" at an astonishing rate.
In the 90's through early in the new millennium, online dating was "creepy" and weird.
Today I feel like "everyone" is doing it. I'm sure the forums for meeting others online for romantic purposes are much more "legit" as to back in the 90's. You can get a much better feel for the other person today before meeting in person.
With all of that said, I would only "meet" a future GF online if it was through Facebook and it was a mutual friend. Other than that I'd just rather meet a woman by chance in person. I can't quite take that leap into online dating quite yet. -

I am sure they are more legit than they were back then but what if you are talking to older folks who are not of the technological era.
And no, I am not experiencing this.Concrete evidence/videos pleaseComment

Well I was talking to a woman at the bank the other day and she met her husband online. They are both in their 60's and not really tech friendly. I think its one of those things that people dont really question much anymore. Then again I notice if they meet on eharmony its looked at in a much different light than say craigslist(obvious reasons).Comment

I met one of my ex-girlfriends on facebook and had no problem telling people the truth. She seemed to be the shy one about it, but I didn't care what people had to say. I thought it was a nice story."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

GF of about 4 months is from a dating website. I don't have a problem telling people.
I'm a decent looking guy with plenty to offer, but the girls through day to day activities weren't doing it for me. I didn't find anybody I truly felt a connection with. I ended things 9/10 times with girls I went on a date or two with...they were not happy.
Then I meet my current GF and immediately I feel like the chemistry between us is amazing. She feels the same and I could not ask for a better person to be with. I mean it's incredible how happy I truly am being with her and every time I see her we have a great time together.
She has an amazing personality, gorgeous, awesome body, and is exactly the type of girl you take home to mom.
People can say ANYTHING they want about how I met her, and I really don't care.Comment

I piped a few broads from the free chatline back in the dayz. I wouldn't call them girlfriends even though they think I was they man. I never took them out, bought them gifts or nothing. It was strictly sex untill they got to emotional and knew I was only in it for the *****. Haha.Last edited by dopeboy206; 04-19-2010, 04:59 PM.Comment

My wife and I met on AOL twice actually. The first time we were both in college in the same town. We chatted for a long time and flirted a lot. Then she got into a relationship and stopped going on AOL. Then my senior year of college she was back on and we chatted and flirted a lot. We started dating from there and have been together ever since. We haven't told people because previously she had a bad experience with someone she met online and didn't want people to judge her for it.Comment

I with the rest of the camp here, I see absolutely no reason to be embarrased upon explaining the origins of an internet relationship. Once leaving college, I imagine the internet becomes only more valuable in this regard as a person's respective career or routine may not provide much interaction with compatitable coeds. I have a number of friends who have gone the internet route, with some ending in marriage. It can be legit.Comment

I am not knocking that it can be successful. That isn't what this thread was about.
Why would it be embrasassing? Maybe because people will look at you as someone that, "Couldn't get it done in the real world so he took it to the internet."
Espcially when talking to the OLDER folks that still don't subscribe to meeting people online and believe everyone online is a stalker or a seriel killer. It happens more now, but I still know MANY couples who don't admit it to the public. I am sure everyone knows that everyone else does it but to admit to it is a whole different ballgame.
I think if I did meet a female online, I wouldn't be comfortable telling people that I did. I would be embarassed. And that has NOTHING to do with the amount of success the relationship has experienced. The two aren't related here.Concrete evidence/videos pleaseComment

Why would you be embarrassed about that? Does it really matter if you met online or at some public place? As someone mentioned earlier, I'd imagine just about everyone is doing that nowadays.Indianapolis Colts
