I was just typing a post in reply to another thread (you might know what I'm talking about) and it got me thinking that of all 8 of the relationships I've been through, not to mention all of the times I've been burned after just hanging out with potential people before making it an "official" relationship. What I was thinking, that I pointed out in the referenced post, is that all of these potential relationships and actual relationships have originated from online dating sites. I've never been able to come close to a dating thing that has originated from meeting a person in real life.
I realize that I've been forming friendships in real life all the time, with both genders, but never have been able to move to dating with a female. I work full time, and don't go to school, so meeting people in classes isn't an option. Work isn't a good option either. So what I want to know is, have any of you ever experienced having no choice but to break free from online dating? Did you succeed at dating in real life? Even if you haven't had a similar experience, if you know of some good places to meet potential dates, post them here, and please use examples of when you met a (potential) date in a certain context, if you feel comfortable with giving that much detail. I really would like to see what some people would have to say.
