A funny thread 🙂
I met my wife of 6years 7 years ago on Muddymatches.com for country folk. But interestingly, also seemingly for lots of London sorts wanting to find something different than Londoners (or a nice farm to retire to or weekend at I guess) 😆
Basically the gist is, you give yourself a ‘muddy’ rating and can search based on that too. After 9years spent previously with a Towny, I set the bar high at 90% muddy and over 😀
Anyway, the first Saturday on there, when I had barely sent out any messages (it’s easy to get carried away looking isn’t it!) MrsCH messaged me.
Her profile picture was rubbish, and I’d actually overlooked her profile when searching but the other pictures were lovely so I decided to apply my one rule of internet dating- no online small talk!
So one PM, 3 text messages and a brief phone call later, we had arranged to meet for Sunday lunch the following day.
She turned up wearing jeans, a Joules polo shirt and jumper, her wellies and still had her dog whistle around her neck from a training class she had just been to.
Literally love at first sight 😛
Anyway, I had brought my Labrador puppy as a cute wingman and she had her Cocker spaniel so we went for a nice walk after lunch. It was pretty cold and I had forgotten my coat so wore some mangled old Tweed with the pocket hanging off 😆
Pictures and profiles and witty text banter are great but meeting people is what it’s all about 🙂
(Although Tinder hadn’t kicked off back then so I may have had a bad rash and a different story of online dating to tell 😆 )
