    I do online dating and I just take it all with a pinch of salt. I don't take it too seriously and just go with the flow.

    Have met a few men off there and although, some have been really weird, some are nice and there's one at the moment that I will see where it takes us.

    Just for my curiosity... when does 'online dating' starts and ends nowadays? Most people are fairly connected through 'devices' and I would have thought it'd be almost impossible not to go online.

    What's the difference between a random bloke from whatever app and a random bloke from the pub/gym class/whatever?
    Unless it's someone you have been introduced to through friends but even then, more likely they have an online profile of some sort!
    As you can tell I have not been in the dating game for way too long :eek: just curious about the comment....

    im afraid that if you havent found a partner by the time you leave uni then it's a life on the shelf for you ladies!
    Not strictly true, i met the fella online at 28! Looking forward to a very happy future now! I'm glad i gave online dating another chance :D

    always sunny, i see online dating as more specifically going on online dating websites (i used POF), though i know people who've met through FB/forums and the like,

    I meant PoF, but I guess I can see what you mean.
