On what sites did you meet?

met DH in a Napster chat room 

Alan and I met on the now-defunct writing website writtenbyme.com - we read each other's poetry and started talkin'.   

My DH and I met on CatholicMingle.com.. in the chatroom..  luckily it had the whisper option  and we were  able  to comment on everything and everyone around us..  We knew we had the same sense of humor!

Chris and I met on AOL.  In a transatlantic chat room.

Ooh.. I've been in there probably 10 times in the past. 

Hubby and I met on Excite's old Virtual Places chat client. It's changed alot since the days we were on it,, but we had good fun. We both used to hang out playing online trivia there, and became friends,, etc. 

David and I met (due to several random circumstances) in the chaos channel (comic book...) on multicity.

We both ended up playing EQ (me after I'd come over and we'd married), but we've now pretty much abandoned it for Lineage II.

wench
feed the geek within....

Glenn and I met on a card games site called IGAMES neither of us have been there in a long time but it was a long friendship before we became a couple on line. And it all started with me say cute nick.

Tom and I met in a 40+ clean chat room...through msn...then started our own community with a friend of ours...called 35+ international chat

I hope you all don't mind if I pop in here and ask some of you more chat room friendly people a question... I met my DF at Uni so I'm quite unfamiliar with internet dating sites, etc. What I'm wondering is, are there any sites/chat rooms for people 60+? My mother (62) was widowed back in 1979 and has hardly dated since. Not that she doesn't want to. She's very computer literate so I'm wondering if there might be something out there she could try. Or would it be better for her to try forums for things she likes? It's just, if it's all young people, she won't stay with things like that.

She's very lonely and I'd love to try and help her do something.

Awww...you're a thoughtful daughter!   

I don't really know anything about chat rooms other than the 5 or 6 times I  wandered into Yahoo chat.  The rooms were usually full of really young kids, mean people, and weirdos. 

I would suggest your mom join some forums centered around her interests.  That way, she'll have an automatic rapport and an immediate topic of conversation, which is a real icebreaker with other members.  I hope she finds a friend!   

A dating site would be perfect.  Something like match.com where she can fill out a profile and specify her age group and her preferred age of any potential suitors. 

there are plenty of chat rooms out there for 60+...start with the MSN communities...  and make sure she tries for clean chat... otherwise you get all kinds of people that are not exactly clean, if ya know what I mean...

A con trolled chat room is best for meeting nicer people...especially for you mom... 

also, may I suggest your mom joining a group in her area for say widow's & widowers...  my stepmom joined one a year after dad passed...and she has a blast with them...met all kinds of good friends...does a lot of travelling with them...and also met a man, fell in love and they got married this past may on a travel trip to Paris.

My grandmother married a man she met online. They were married 6 months before Jon and I married and, funnily enough, both of us were married in Vegas.

I'm not sure of the exact chatroom but I know it was for widows/widowers of her age.

we met in yahoo pets and animals ( well kids are classed as animals arent they? )

OK, dumb question but how will she know if it's controlled? I assume it just says so?

I don't know about the widow/ers groups. She tried the singles groups in the mid 80s and hated them. Mostly because, as she put it, there's a reason all these men are divorced! But now that she's older, a lot of men her age are widowed and not just divorced so she should try it again.

Thanks guys!
