I met and married my 2nd hubby from a newspaper ad he placed... He put 'mongrel looking for pedigree'... I responded because I thought he liked dogs!!!
His friends thought he was drunk...! But no he was sober and he did like dogs... ( pretty obvious from my sign on name now!!).
We met and married within 5 weeks. This is our 18th year together...
So there's a success story for dating sites... ( there wasnt internet date sites in those days).
I did another two dates of guys via the same route before meeting my hubby... These guys were gorgeous, lovely and pretty **** wealthy too, but not for me.
Niwadays I think you need to put safety as a priority via the internet...
