    I did a bit of online dating 3 years ago. I met no-one that I could see a long-lasting relationship with. A few of the girls were perfectly nice but we didn't gel, but I had a few very awkward dates.

    One in particular was really disappointing as we'd spoken online for a few weeks and she was really nice and we joked about and got on well, then in person she barely said a word the whole night. She warned me she gets nervous but she was vegetable quiet the whole evening.

    "So you never told me what you do, do you work, student or what?"
    "Student."
    "Oh, what do you study?"
    "Design"
    "Excellent, I'm studying design too, did you see the Moholy-Nagy exhibit at the Tate?"
    "No."

    It was weird, she'd seen my picture and she swooped in for the goodnight kiss but she just said nothing the whole fucking meal, and we were always chatting like crazy online.

    I never did AFF but a friend of mine in the States uses it and has a crazy time.

    My missus did Seeking Arrangement for a little while (while we were together, and we still are), which was interesting. She only met one guy from there as a friend and he paid her like £400 for a painting and offered to pay for her final years tuition, no strings attached. It's interesting that there are some people with loads of money who just want to give some to someone else and see a change in their life. She didn't accept but that was kind of neat.

    • We're a pretty interesting couple. She's a dominatrix performer.orrinward2
    • Friends of ours have used SeekingArrangement and people use it for financial submission.orrinward2
    • Financial Submission is a fetish where one party relinquishes control of their money to another as an act of submission and worship. My missus didn't quite go that far but she did have a man offer to pay...orrinward2
    • and worship. My missus didn't quite go that far but she did have a man offer to pay for her tuition, and he was aware that she was in a loving relationship.orrinward2
    • she was in a loving relationship.
      I didn't meet her online.

    • Also, that '3 years' is actually 4. I typoed. I met my girlfriend 3 and a half years ago and happiest I've ever been. It's a pretty wild adventure.orrinward2
