Today is our first date anniversary. Not the day we met or the day we saw each other from across the room--we had met on Match.com, something we had to decide to admit or not. Should we tell people we had been so actively looking to meet someone--not just hoping--that we had joined an online dating service? Would they laugh? Would they feel sorry for us? Would they wonder why we couldn't meet someone the normal way?
We were at Bear Valley with Andy's kayaking group the first time someone actually asked how we met, and it just seemed natural to be honest. No one laughed. People were curious, some had been thinking of trying it themselves, and most thought we were rather brave to have tried such a thing. Everyone was warm and interested. Love, after all, is where you find it. Even if you have to go looking for it.

Wow. I met my Hubby on match.com too. It was back in the day when people didn't meet online. Woo Boy when we told people in the beginning I was told be careful crazy people do that. Yep crazy people ; )
My SO and I met online (can't remember the name of the site) over 10 years ago. It's been a success so far!
Happy anniversary! I met my husband on match.com too- we lied about how we met for a while...after we had been together for a year or so we gave up lying. People were surprised, but more so that we just didn't tell them in the beginning.
