I posted a craigslist ad seeking friends who like the Decemberists for an upcoming Decemberists show, because my only other way was to go alone or pay a friend's ticket to go. I got an email from a guy saying that he was home for leave from the army and the Decemberists are awesome and he needed a friend to go with as well. ....we went out for pizza first and then went to the Decemberists show later that week and then on another date before he had to return. We got married 5 years later ;-)
She was my teacher in one-on-one Chinese classes. I chased her for 4 years and finally convinced her to marry me. 26 years later, we're still going strong. Its been a long, strange, (and very happy) trip.
The one I am dating now I met on Match.com. But before that it was always socially (friend of a friend sort of thing) and well before that it was usually someone I was in class with (at college) or lived in my dorm (we had co-ed dorms).
Cold approach never worked for me, ever. I've met some nice people that way (only one "bad" rejection--everyone else was pleasant as could be about it). Then again, it's because I have a knack for finding the ones that are already taken.
Based on the poll results, it looks like online dating is in the lead, but I wonder if everyone who selected it knew what "OLD" meant. It would have been better to just spell out "online dating."
Online matchmaking site (that's no longer around) back in 1999.
It took him three tries before I responded to his message though. I considered him to be too short (at 5'10" - 6') and there wasn't a lot on his profile, so he got the "delete" button. I can't recall what he wrote in his third message, but I know it made me laugh and he also stated it was his final attempt. It worked.
