I have had many VERY interesting experiences from my internet meeting/dating days, but these are the two that stick out....
I met a lady on the internet through an online dating service, just like I'd already done many times and would do many times in the future. All seemed well, until the first date. I knocked on the door, a woman answered the door, and I asked if her roommate was in....and she started sobing. Turns out she sent me an image of one of her friends because she was very self-consious about her phsyical appearance. I spent a little time consoling her, and I felt sorry for her, so I agreed to continue on our planed date. We went to dinner and a movie. I tried to make small talk, but it was akward at best. After dinner I tried to be nice but I just couldn't get over the fact that she lied to me and that was no way to try and start a relationship. I never saw her again. It was made even sadder by the fact that I didn't really think the real her was all that unattractive.
My second situation was a little better. I met my wife on the same internet dating service as the first girl I mentioned, but only after we dated, broke up, got back together, then had to seperate again due to work, then found ourselves back in the same location, strictly by chance. I didn't let her get away a third time. We got married a year later. We celebrate our one year aniversary in about 2 weeks.
