Well, when you get into your 30s and don't really do the whole "clubbing and pubbing" thing, it is difficult to meet other singletons. And when most of your friends are in relationships, it is even more difficult. I figured I had to just take the plunge. At least with dating sites, you can pretty much get an idea of what someone is like and at least you know they are single and like you if they are wanting to meet up, which makes it easier. But there are definitely some weirdos, or people with "issues", on these sites, but they usually give themselves away in what they write about themselves. It is also interesting sociologically analysing what people are looking for. You would not believe how many women seem to have a "shopping list" right down to specific eye colour. And they wonder why they are single

But this woman I'mm meeting in 3 hours seems pretty normal, down to earth and interesting, so at the very least I'll have a nice drink and interesting conversation

I'm not going in with any expectations. Just thought it might be fun.
