How long were you online before....

Those of you who are currently in relationships with someone you met via OLD.....how long had you been using OLD sites before you met your current bf/gf? I mean from the time you originally started - not since your last break. In general, how long had you been single before meeting your current SO?


And...how long

I started on Match.com in May of 2002 and then met someone who I dated exclusively from Sept 02 until April of 2003. He started to flake so I went back to OLD and met my now current husband on Yahoo Personals sometime in March of 03. I'm a firm believer in marketing, so I never stayed on one site exclusively - I had my profile on Match, Yahoo and American Singles.

Now; keep in mind I’ve always been into computers more than most girls/women I know – that’s the geek in me and I work in administrative jobs where I have to be using the latest software etc.

OK...here we go...

>>In general, how long had you been single before meeting your current SO?

Well, overall I had been single about 1.5 years, but had only been on OLD and actively dating for about 8 months before meeting my current BF.

>>And...how long have you been with your current SO?

Yesterday was 6 months, but who's counting? LOL

>>And...at this time, are you dating exclusively?

Yes we are exclusive and we had the dreaded "talk" at about 2 months.

>>And...do you have any kind of sense at this time that perhaps just maybe this might be the "ONE" or are you still just taking it one day at a time, knowing that this too could end at any time?

Well, I feel things are more than just "right", but then at 6 months it is a little early. While I take it one day at a time, I also can't help but project at least a little into the future. Like maybe next month? LOL But thinking that "this could end at any time" is too negative for me. I prefer to think positively.

How long had you been using OLD sites before you met your current bf/gf? About 5 months


In general, how long had you been single before meeting your current SO? That's a tricky one for me - my last boyfriend told me of his intent to move in April of 2004, but we still lived together for 1 1/2-2 months...although, I had told him I was no longer committed as of the day he told me he was leaving.

not since your last break. In general, how long had you been single before meeting your current SO?

~Technically, I was barely single when I met him. I was still living with my ex but we were separated. (this is at the time when I met my current bf online and we were just talking on the phone) We met in person about a week and a half later and by then I was living with my parents again so was technically single. I was only online on lavalife to have fun and to see what was out there. I didn't actually expect to meet someone so fast and especially not to hit it off with him so well.

And...how long have you been with your current SO?

~For about 2 and a half months now.

And...at this time, are you dating exclusively? ?

~Oh yeah, we're living together already. I know its fast, but things just happened that way. It feels like we've been together WAY longer. Things just feel "right" with him.

And...do you have any kind of sense at this time that perhaps just maybe this might be the "ONE" or are you still just taking it one day at a time, knowing that this too could end at any time?

~I am still taking things one day at a time cause its so new, but a part of me really hopes he is the one.

Well let me explain........(lol)..the first guy from Match started to act flaky - and he drove me crazy the whole time we dated because he was emotionally unavailable. Turns out he still held a candle for his ex girlfriend and sometime between Feb and March of 03 he was even more distant. So yes - I did overlap but not before he unintentionally shoved me out the emotional door.
Funny thing is he emailed me about a month ago - he's single again and on Match and asked if I'd leave my husband and run away with him to Vegas. I cheerfully declined and said "You had a chance with me about 1 1/2 yrs ago".... I'll admit there was a little bit of vengefullness on my part.
