It's been a while since we did one of these "introduce yourself" posts.

How long have you been doing OLD? Did it for about six months then met my boyfriend of seven months, Ricky, on CRAIGSLIST, of all places.

Okay, my turn!

My name is Annie, 31 years old, been doing the OLD thing on & off since college, about 1993. I live in St. Louis, MO. I've actually had 3 serious, long-term relationships start online, one of them 2 months away from a wedding! So, I guess I've had pretty good success, though lately it's been awful. I think I'm getting more selective as I get into my 30s, which means fewer successful matches, not to mention that there are just plain fewer guys as well.

Name: Laura

Location: West Texas

How long have I been OLD?: the end of this week will make a full year :-)

What brought me to this board?: I was looking for some advice on how to tell my parents that I had been in a relationship online and what that experience had been like for other posters.

Name? Nancy

Location? near a small town in the tall-grass prairie of the Midwest

How long have you been doing OLD? Since Christmastime, 2004.

What brought you to the iVillage Online Dating message board? I am 67 years old, and I just mention that because I realize that most posters on iVillage are much younger than I am. So I represent the far end of the age spectrum. I just sort of stumbled across this message board and have found that the people who post here are intelligent and interesting. I have been dating one old widower (age 75) since the end of January--met him through Yahoo Personals. He still works full-time at his cattle business about 80 miles from me. Our relationship is proceeding at a slow pace, but it is proceeding (although at times I still wonder about that). He is very nice, and I like him more and more as time goes along.

One really different aspect to online dating when you are old: after the late 50's, lots more widows and widowers appear, and some of them join the OLD scene.

Lastly, I am going to continue to sign my name as "Tea" on this board. I'm a firm believer that a nice cup (glass) of tea can change anyone's day for the better, and I kind of like the various names that message board posters give themselves. Tea

Hi Y'all,

Name: Cupcake (aka Shorty and anything that applies to a female the same size as the common 7th grader!) 3rd generation Texan, live in Houston.

Time on OLD:( First time,about 4 years ago) 1 year, ran into ex-loco and it went to he** in a handbasket from there. "Auntie Em,Auntie Em--Save me!" Pulled my fuzzy little self from the depths of Satan's lair (y'all, it was Bad--lol!)and got on OLD again after my best pal met her now-husband on Match--this time, 8 months until I met Tall Man, who is def The One, and we deleted our profiles, together, 2 months ago.

How?: Same as many--I asked for Man Advice, was not that thrilled with the answer, but browsing about and found the board--One of the Best things I have ever had happen to me-Yay, Y'all! :)

Truly,
Cupcake
