I'm tempted to join a dating site but am very wary and would like to think/hope that if I'm destined to meet a soulmate then it would be in the old-fashioned way of a face to face encounter leading to something more. Am I still living in the 20th century instead of embracing newer methods of meeting my match?
I met some one line about 10 years ago which lasted 18 months, and then I met someone at my last place of work, face to face. That relationship lasted nearly 8 years, she just said to me that she wanted to go and find herself and just left. So really it doesn't matter where you meet someone, relationships can be good or bad.
