Meeting ppl and Dating

iremex

Hello All,

i dont know if i am posting in the right thread but i was curious to know if anyone has ever met anyone from boards and feel like sharing their experiences?

i mean going for a coffee, the pub or to the cinema. i am not here to pick up girls or anything but it has come across my mind that surely here is a good place to talk/meet ppl of similar interests as opposed to meeting absolute strangers in pubs.
Also as a network of friends you would have a pretty high success rate because u arent forced into real-life situations (u cant choose who u work with, who u go to college with!) where u have to "get along" with ppl.

There are boards beers and other meetups arranged quite often organised by boards members. I think quite a few people have gotten together through those.

Because of boards meetups of one type or another there have been friendships forged, enemies made, romances sparked, marraiges arranged, babies plopped onto the planet and livers ruined.

Thanks for the offer of a get together, but I'm not sure how many want to fly from Dub to LAX to get together in OC. Of course, you might find it fun to get pulled aside and strip searched coming into the US, or not being able to carry on anything?:rolleyes:

Yes Op it happens, I even ended up living with simu. We are divorced now.
i am looking forward to marrying my fiancée Nightwish who I met through here, if I can keep my affair with CuLT hush hush. I met CuLT on a hentai forum.
Internet dating is the way to go. You can see you share the same interests and that you like them before you meet htem.
I think it also removes some innate shallowness. If you like their personality a lot on the net and would be only minimally attracted to them if you met on a blind date, you find them much more attractive having liked their personality on boards.

OP, more stories here

There's a personals in adverts now, it's going to be teh lullers.

tar.aldarion, if u dont mind me asking, where did u meet the ladies? im kinda new to all this and without sounding like too much of a SAP, the niteclub scene is kinda now outta the question as its like a lotto lucky-dip with who you meet.!
most of my gfs came from either referrals or girls i met while out. but nowadays most girls either have boyfriends and any ppl i talk to only date via the net. is that the new norm? oh and no, i havent just been unfrozen from my cave!!!!

What?!?!? WTF is a referral? lollers I've met one or two boardsies in RL, even attended a few of the smaller gatherings, can be a laugh. And o' course there's always te option of just pm-ing someone you're arguing with and inviting them out for a pint, (it might eve turn out to be a real actual girl! mad I know!)

what? on boards? you lie...

Ruu_Old

Wimmens on the interweb? Its a myth.

iremex

forgive the sales jargon!!
i am so slow i never even thought of pm-ing although i wont hold my breath that its an actual girl mind u.

surprise no-one has started a dating thread or boards coming out with a messenger!!

Ruu_Old

Probably because boards.ie might be held responsible should anything go wrong on such dating threads or personals, that would not be good.

gandalf

Why bother doing something that dedicated sites do so well (or not so well !!!).

If you count the musicians ads forum, I've made a dozen or so friends from boards. A few of 'em pretty good mates now, too. Yay for the non-jerkface contingent on boards

Re your sig: If you have a nice hot woman in your bed you should sex her isntead of watching football...

Meeting ppl you know online is fairly normal when its just boards etc... and once you know some ppl everyone knows someone who knows someone. It is a good way of making friends I guess... but it tends to work easier when you arent so eager and just let it randomly happen.
