In another attempt for us to get us to know each other lets hare how we met our significant other. Also did you know right away they were the one? And how many dates before you went all the way? Where was your first date?

When you say the Internet do you mean this forum?

Sure why not.
Met on Eharmony. I got a six month subscription and met my prior girlfriend the first day I signed up. Met Wife on my last week of membership. So it was lucky I went for the sixth month plan.
Went to Golden West in Hampen for first date. I only had three beers as I didn't want to make bad first impression. She had Alagash White. Mickey Free was our waiter and he gave me the wrong dish but I didn't complain as I didn't want to look like a deuchebag right away. Got lucky on the second date.
Actually knew she was one after the first date. I had a date the next day with another chick that I thought about canceling. The highway was shut down and I was a half hour late which kind of put that date in a bad mood from the start.

gay dating site . . . which could, very well, be this site.

It's interesting that atomic, the guy who had dozens of women hitting on him, paid to meet women via eharmony. A question for you, atomic. Did you find the women you were meeting via eharmony to all in all be better catches than all of those women who were hitting on you in the bars?
You guys who did the personal ads in the days where pictures are the norm really have it made. I did the personal ads back in the days where it was print only. And not that I'm a huge stickler for looks or am any kind of Adonis myself, but most women who placed and answered personal ads back then were definitely below average looking.
But not all of them. I met my wife by answering her Washington City Paper personal ad. I answered in spite of the fact she was a Steely Dan fan. She called me back in spite of the fact that I'm the world's biggest dickhead. I was the second and last person she went on a date with, though she received many responses. I think we met at a Cosi for coffee or cocoa or something (so that we could easily bail if necessary), and went dutch. Our second date we went to a Unitarian chirch service and maybe bike riding after, I don't recall. Which is a bit ironic because she's an avowed Atheist now. We agreed that we would keep dating but wouldn't have sex until after three months. I think we lasted 39 days, and had sex for the first time on July 4. The end.

Most of the girls hitting me in bars were younger than 28. I wanted someone in the 28 to 34 age range. Mature enough for a serious relationship and still in the baby making years.
I think it is best to find someone you have a lot in common with. I could see my wife liked the Decemberists and enjoyed similar books and movies to me. Also seem to like a lot of different cuisines and traveling. It sucks talking to a super hot girl in a bar for an hour just to find out her favorite band is Kings of Leon and her favorite restaurant is 5 guys.
Chicks in bars are fine for hooking up with but I think if you are looking for a wife it is best to cast a wider net. Also, I joined E-harmony the day my live in girlfriend moved out so it was kind of a spur of the moment thing. And it was nice to be dating someone 14 years younger than you a week after a bad break-up. Good for your ego which you need at times like that.
Second your wife might have put out earlier if you didn't insist on going dutch.

Ok two thoughts here. E-harmony is sort of the like Glengarry Glen Ross. They give you 7 matches each day. So you can only talk to people you have been matched with. A lot of the members you are matched with are not paying members so they can't reply to you. So when I first joined I got decent matches after that the active members I got matched with were pretty bad. I guess you don't notice unattactive people when you are in the real world. I kept waiting for the good matches.
Second I don't know if it was because my membership was about to expire or it was January 1st and hot women decided to join E-harmony as a New Years Resolution. Because 2 weeks before my membership I had a lot of hot women to converse with. If I had to do it over I would do Match.com where you get to pick whomever you want to talk to. Also, they matched me with so many women from DC when I put a 25 mile limit on matches. I think they just match you on what the females are asking for and don't care about the men's constrains. I did seem to get better matches when I put a filter on to not get matched with Religious women.

was there eharmony in 1975?

I don't see a huge difference between someone liking the Decemberists and Kings of Leon. They are both mainstream rock bands to me. Would their female fanbase really be that different?
I tended to meet lot of women in DC who adamantly did not want to ever have children. I know there are some men for whom these women would be national treasures, but it was a deal breaker for me.

I met my first wife because I hooked up with her roommate at a bar.

Decemberists are not mainstream and that has nothing to do with the type of music it is. If you can't tell the difference between the two then you don't know much about music.

Sweetcell has a cute story but it's not mine to share.

I married my wife about 2.5 years ago. We met in Richmond over 20 years ago when we were about 21. We had a mutual friend that was trying to play matchmaker. The three of us went out one night, the night ended with our friend, Erica, basically throwing us in a bedroom together. It was dawn by then and the sun was coming up. We made out for a little bit but not much else happened cuz my future wife was so smashed she started getting sick. We all got so hammered none of us really remember what happened that night. I just remember walking home as the sun was coming up.
Nothing ever happened with me and future wife after that night. We both moved away a short time later.
About 6 years ago we became fb friends. It was a typical fb kinda thing, you friend request someone you knew way back when. She had been living on the west coast for years and years. In 2010 she made her way back east. In the days she was travelling we started talking on fb. It seemed like something mystical was happening. Laugh all you want, but it was obvious from the first convo that something really important was going on. She was staying with a friend a few hours away, she made a plan to visit me.
We had sex within a few hours after she got there. Within a month I knew that this was it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. My wife is the best. Period. End of story.

Your witty cultural reference eludes me.

Sorry, but there's just not that much difference between the Decemberists and Kings of Leon. No doubt there are plenty of people who are into both.
Compared to that, my wife and I differed quite a bit more in music taste. She was into Brazilian music and I was into classic American country music. Now I like them both. But I still won't listen to her Tupac, and she still frowns on some of my country stuff.

You fucking argue about everything. One has female and male vocalists, violin, banjo, and accordian with witty lyrics playing folk music the other is a bunch of guys with guitars playing rock music. If you can't tell the difference then stop listening to music. It is as different as Tupac and Classic Country.

I don't get your comment? Is that when you got married?

Wait. Tupac is Brazilian?

I will say that the girl I was talking to who was a Kings of Leon fan was a solid 9. I wish the James Ford in me didn't come out as she didn't like it when I laughed at her for liking Kings of Leon.

You do know that e-harmony is a Christian dating site, right?
I did seem to get better matches when I put a filter on to not get matched with Religious women.

First girl I dated on there was Jewish. I think it might have been at one time but not when I was on there.
