    Why, is it because you were in a library?

    To answer the original question, I think the stigma is gone from it.


    Now I can relate to this....

    I've heard similar from my family.

    I met my wife online way back in 1999 when it the stigma was at it's peak. I would actually enjoy watch people's faces when we told them we met online, you could almost see them squirming. We will be celebrating our 10th year wedding anniversary next month.

    I saw my wife for the first time in Anatomy and Physiology. It took a couple weeks though, as it was a big class...and I slept through it most mornings. But once I saw her...

    The wife didn't like me too much the first time we met...which was in middle school in the 7th grade. :) She finally took a liking to me and we've basically been together ever since.

    For whatever reason I took some weird class in sports science that was outside my major my senior year.....and she was in that class. I then somehow convinced/spanish flyed her to go to a formal dinner/dance thing and for months tricked her that the only room available in the hotel was the penthouse sweet with a king bed. hahahahaha! She was petrified until I finally told her I found a room with two double beds and that I had been tricking her. I still make fun of her to this day about those times and how guillable she was most days. What a dork.

    Well aren't we all just a bunch of open minded, non-judgmental people up in here.

    No stigma... but I doubt you'll find much of an argument here amongst your online hunting buddies :busted:

    If you can meet hunting buddies on line and get to become good friends and meet in real life, why not meet a significant other on lice as well?

    LOL Not sure meeting one with lice is going to be a good thing :). (I know it was a misprint but I couldn't resist.)

    I think online dating could work out. I met my husband at a convenience store. He bought me an ice cream cone and I followed him home. :o
