how come the words 'hard' and morillo' keep cropping up in the same sentence...I'll have you know Im not hard, Im a big softy...except for when Im looking at pics of Kylie Minogue in her hot pants.

i dont know what we are scared of by not telling people the truth, do we think people would think less of us or do we think less of ourselves for internet dating? i have met dates off the net although my last serious relationship was with a woman i met at work. however i am meeting up with a woman who i know only through the internet in 4 weeks time, i have told my close family about it, and i told my two closest friends, none of them treat me any differently since and none of them were negative about it. in the end i suppose it comes down to how you yourself perceive it in your own head.

well that depends on where you are taking me Dave, I am a lady of taste you know! non of that macdonalds crap!!!!

I guess people's reaction would depend on what way online you met a person. The taboo surrounding someone meeting on a dating site, might be stronger than meeting through a common interest site such as photography, or even in a general chat room. Not that it matters to you or the other person involved (If ye like each other then feck the rest of us) but im pretty sure as time goes on and e-mail, MSN, yahoo whatever, gets more and more common the less people will snub it, and the more they'll start trying it themselves.
