Many of the people on line ARE just looking for sex, of course. But, surely that’s the same when you go to a club or a bar? Rules should be followed (which I did not, of course ;-) ) and if I were a single female I would be ‘careful’, for certain.

It’s like anything else. Looking for a house or flat, a new car or a new boyfriend – hahahahahaha – or, at least, given the logic of my mind, that’s how it is. And that’s how I approached it. I set down (in my head) what I wanted and then found someone who did not meet all the really important criteria and ignored everything and went with it – just like I do with a house or a car!

I do feel that most people don’t go out with a ‘plan’ to find the right person – because a) they don’t have a really logical mind (one could say ‘nerdy’) and b) MOST people don’t believe in this crap – i.e. that there is a ‘right one’ out there or that they will ever find ‘the one’. My friend, from the other day, certainly believes that. It’s like people want to ‘put a brave face on it’. Who does believe in the Cinderella story anyway? Oh, except me, of course ;-)

Nope, it’s not really formal :-)

Yes, I’m very happy and relaxed, thank you.

Now I do have a different approach although -I must confess- that it is not something I’d do if I were single. Maybe it is because I am a woman which makes online dating -I think- more “dangerous”. However, reality is as tricky as virtuality and meeting face-to-face do not ensure total safety.

I am impressed that you were determined to find the “right one” as it never worked for me that way. I wasn’t determined to find someone when I met G. Let alone (not formal, isn’t it? ;) but it works here) when I met my ex C. (we met in Mexico but he lived close to Milan!).

Anyway, good for both of you Andy :)
You seem happy and relaxed.
