Huh, I can't recall being asked this over the last several relationships. I've told people. I think people just assume OLD these days!
Or maybe my friends just don't give a crap about my personal life. That may be the case.

Huh. Maybe we just don't have anything better to talk about. Or we want to know our friends aren't dating a creepy dude from the street corner. Or we've all been single for so long we want to know where this elusive man was found.
I actually stopped going to events for a bit because I got tired of every event turning into the same conversation about how much the dating scene here sucks. I just wanted to dictate the conversations: here's your line, here's your line, here's my line, can we PLEASE talk about ANYTHING else now?!

I can understand this. I have a fairly active social life, but most of the people I know are already in a committed relationship. In other words, not available. Most friends who I meet through friends are also that way.
Not that I don't know any singles. I do, and I do occasionally meet new single folks. Just not people who interest me all that much, at least in terms of a serious relationship. Thusfar. So I suspect I'll be using a mix of OLD and old fashioned in-person social activities myself.
FWIW, I met my ex online (Yahoo) in 1999. Whole different world back then.

Yes that is common question but when I said no one mentions it what I mean is that in this type of conversation no one has answered with "I met so through old(insert random old site). They will say "I met him at a party, or at church, or through Calvin, or at work, or at the mall... Because like I said no one that I'm closely friends with has formed a relationship using old.
