I love you Public Address - Merry Christmas to my beacon of twinkly lights in an otherwise right-of-centre mediocrity.

Met someone I was completely infatuated with on Lavalife when I lived in Canada, unfortunately his quirky Quebecois didn't translate downunder.
Undeterred I finally met my now husband on a NZ site. Just celebrated our 9th anniversary.
When I was first using these sites there was still a bit of stigma involved. To be honest, when I was overseas no one knew me so it didn't matter as much.
For me the key was being clear on what I was looking for in a relationship - and what I wasn't. But even with judicious filtering I still got sent unsolicited dick pics, stood up, lied to, taken out to dinner to be dumped (annoying because I could have both of us the effort, dumped him by phone and stayed home to watch TV), told on my first F2F date that he had incurable cancer (which was true, no hair or eyebrows - after weeks of online chatting and phone calls), made to pay 'my share' of a $12.50 bill, cyber-stalked. I also went out with a stand-up comic who was so painfully shy he couldn't make eye contact with me - only then to be told I wasn't as funny in person as I was online etc.
But hey - makes for some interesting stories. -

For reasons hardly remembered (something to do with a daggy pair of red tracksuit bottoms) my dear Mum is known as The Whore in Sheep's Trousers. Particularly useful when addressing birthday cards to her from overseas.
