It makes me chuckle and most of the people who knew both of us from a website (Make friends online) we were on. It was a good website in that it had forum boards but when the new site owners took over they put membership up from £30 to £100 or something, so we all went to facebook. They don't have many members now when they could have had a few hundred paying less but there were some fruit cakes too but the majority were fine.
It's not something I'd advocate-online dating and I'd advise anyone who does it to web cam them and make sure they look like their pic and have a mate who you give their details too just in case. When my friends went on dates we used to take note where they were going and call them part way through the night as a 'get out' clause and ask like are you ok? Is the date ok? and if not they could say oh my childs ill, I need to go etc.
I did hear the women were worse than the men, stalkerville etc.
