Your "dating" website?

[michy]

I imagine there's quite a few of us who met our SO on some random website, while minding our own business/not looking for love at all- be it a gaming site, social network, a forum, etc.

We met on a hillwalking forum called walk highlands, where people discuss mountain routes and gear and climbing experiences etc. I'd been on for a while and he was a new member I greeted on the Hello thread, and I randomly private messaged him a question about mountain guides which I could very easily have Googled (and I am the Google Queen, LOL). Why did I randomly decide to PM him instead..? Can't say, it must've been fate!

So I was wondering.... what sort of websites did you and your SO use in a way which their creators likely never intended? What became your 'dating' website?

Gaia Online. We met in the fall of 04 through mutual friends whose roleplay I was a part of. I was the newbie and the baby (everyone there was already in high school or just about in college, I was only 14) and he was one of the oldest and well-known for his awesome writing and characters.

Absolutely! I had a previous LDR, it ended about 10 yrs ago & he's still among my closest friends- but we met when I decided to just randomly send him a message on AIM, and he went along with talking to this wacky total stranger... for about 4 hours, haha. To this day I'm so glad I sent that message!

LOL! That's awesome. I've actually never permitted myself to play WOW, because I'm afraid I'd never be able to drag myself to the office again! (Doing so is already hard enough without THAT temptation!)

We technically met on Ventrilo, a gaming VoIP.
We normally say we met on an SOE game.
