Whilst a member of FSO I dated a few different men, meeting for coffee or lunch mainly. All of them were nice men, some of them I saw a couple of times and others it was a one off date. There was nobody that caused me any problems which was a concern of mine when first choosing to meet people on line. I enjoyed the opportunity to chat on line for a while before I met them in person.

One of the men turned out to be a very special person, someone I wanted to see, and who wanted to see me, very regularly. We have dated and gone out for dinner quite often over the past month and have now decided to only date each other. This is a scary move for someone who has not dated for 18 years, but it is also very exciting. The wonderful feelings that happen at the beginning of a relationship are there and it feels good.

I have also made many other friends through this website by attending the events, everybody was very welcoming. My social circle has extended and these people I won't loose contact with just because I am no longer a member.

I would like to say it is possible to meet someone through internet dating and the whole experience has been a lot of fun. All the best to anybody else who tries it.
