Someone asked me today if I had ever done online dating.
I have not. I have dated people that I met online, and indeed am married to someone that I met online. But never "online dating".
It is one of those things that sounds like it might be fun - like speed dating - but in practice probably is not.
Plus, given my aversion to third party proprietary services, even if I were looking to date, I'd likely not do it anyway.
