Online dating is cool now!

I remember seeing a recent eHarmony advert on the TV that said something like one in every 10 people who get married met on dating sites. That’s pretty impressive when you consider dating online was still seen as something really ‘sad’ and only something weirdos did as little as ten years ago. It’s certainly come a long way pretty fast.

My husband and I met online, not on a dating website but in a chatroom – we spoke online for over 3 years before biting and the bullet and meeting up and then the rest as they say is history. Back then I used to dread people asking us how we met and knowing the ‘ewww’ looks we’d get back once we said – now I don’t even think about it, if someone asks I say loud and proud that we met in a chatroom and no one bats an eyelid

I think it’s a great thing, it’s so hard to find that perfect partner and the Internet opens up so many more opportunities – when would I have ever physically met my husband if it wasn’t for the Internet? Simply, I wouldn’t.
