Did you ever get the ride or a relationship online on non dating sites and apps?

Train Dragon

I remember when I was 19 or so when Yahoo Irish chat rooms were a thing, there were quite a few people meeting up on that.

And when Facebook pokes were a thing years ago I ended up dating a girl as a result for about 6 months. If you sent or received a poke these days you'd run a mile and rightly so

No Tinder. No POF etc allowed.

Why not post this here I guess... :pac:
One of my friends at the time met a girl from MySpace back in the day and lost his virginity to her. IIRC she was 5 years older than him.
He just got chatting to her, then over a short time (a week I think) the conversation then turned into sex talk, he admitted he was a virgin and then she was up for it.

Within 10 minutes of meeting her he was already doing it (met at her place) Normally when I hear mates say things like this you go yeah right. But... Afterwards he showed me the profile and some of the messages. Guess he wanted to prove it wasn't bs. Lol.

Doesn't your old, now closed, account have tens and tens of thousands of posts and weren't you a Mod at one stage?

I'd have thought in all your service to this site you'd have gone to at least one Boards meet up and got the shift

Never heard of this other account. Don't know what you're talking about.

Wouldn't kiss an Internet weirdo. You could catch a virus or something.

Aye, you could get a Trojan horse up your arse.

Louis CK has mentioned in interviews that he used to meet random girls off MySpace too. It must have have been like a "POF for big music fans" back then.

Back in the early days it wasn't so much about the music. It was for perving.

Started talking to my missus on msn messenger through a mutual friend. We are still together 13 years later.

Still waiting for the ride though.

Ah yes MSN. It started off innocent enough but was basically "hey, wanna swap bold pics?" towards the end.

Never have, wish I had though. Always had my boards "crushes" over the years, I'd guess they're all married and/or babied up by now. ðŸ™‚

I married her in August.

Met an ex on oceanfree chat and went out for five years (on and off). She's also a Boardsie but not sure if still posting. She actually persuaded me to join here.

I met my fiancée through boards...

That hasn't answered the question though, have you gotten the ride out of it? Or are you both 'waiting'.

banie01

There have been a few posters on boards that have caught my attention with a turn of phrase and bit of witty repartee...
One even posted a few tasteful nudie pics!!
But I've never even knowingly met a female boardsie let alone managed to spear one

I got married recently and I do slag off the wife that we are an internet love story

As whilst we did know each other prior to hookin up,we hadnt spoken in a few years and a bit of flirting on facebook led to a marriage

To this day I still maintain Facebook is better for getting the ride than Tinder. You can show off so much more of yourself through Facebook than Tinder. Chatting is still the same.

One thousand percent agree. I think Tinder lasted all but 2 days on my phone.

I had women from Holland, Poland, Scotland, Ohio, W Virginia, Washington State and Hawaii sending me photos of themselves on a Yahoo! chatroom at the same time. I could easily have pressed for more revealing photos and got them but I don't want to be that kind of person. Part of me regrets not going further but part of me knows that I chose the right action.
I don't find Irish women attractive enough to enter a relationship with and I've had more than my fill of them, so no, I don't want the ride from any of them tbh. That would have been about 5 years ago.

And the Dutch woman was a model in her teenage years... and is still a sexy woman.

Got the ride a few years back after initially asking a girl out over MS Lync in work. Went into do some work in her teams department and she was the assigned area expert. Things got pretty flirty somewhere in the middle of a few queries. Does be great for having a bit of banter with the right people.

Went on Couchsurfing once looking to get to experience Rome through spending a weekend with somebody who lived there.

Ended up seeing little of Rome in the end and a lot of the 'couch'.

A mate of mine put me onto this old Facebook app a few years back where you described a buncha girls in one word, not dissimilar to Tinder, Hot or Not etc. Ended up meeting two girls off it. One was a catfish and funny story, the other was gorgeous, great craic and quite good in the leaba...but had a long-term boyfriend. I actually recently heard the pair of them on the radio doing a contest to win a wedding, I nearly **** the bed, the poor bloke had no clue what she was up to.

Aside from that my online experience is all Tinder and POF based.

For me it was IRC growing up where I met some girls with varying degrees of - relations - ensuing upon meeting them later in real life. irc.indigo irc.iol and then finally irc.phishy.net

The longest relationship to come out of it though was 6 months.

How do you use Facebook in that way tho?
Thought if you go adding random people they'll think you're a weirdo lol.

Add people with who you have a good few friends in common. Real life friends. Not "Facebook friends"

Give them a poke.

If they poke back drop them a line and take it from there.

It's not rocket science

Just to add

This was a great way of meeting people upto maybe two years ago.

If you poked someone on Facebook now they'd likely unfriend you and then call the guards.
