Did you sign up for Eharmony or match DOT com?
Or is this Naseeb?
Many of those going around these days!
Well, it’s either this, or Auntie Fat7yyeh hooking you up with her husband’s cousin who has little birdies on his socks

I’ve been tempted to creat a profile somewhere as well, but didn’t do it….it’s just soooo….weird? I know plenty of people who’ve married people they’ve met online (cousins and family friends), but the idea still needs some getting used to for me..

Q, it’s neither!

queenie, like I said it works for some..I just found it tedious and very pathetic.

Yeah those sites are a waste of time, I joined a couple because of friends sending invitation requests but I don’t get how it works. Why would anyone decide on wanting to get to know you through what you write on your profile?? And some people put a lot of effort in those profiles so they turn out like mini-biographies. Anyway, good thing I get to write that I’m taken, I think it keeps all those weird wife-pickers away.

I guess it works the same way as if you were to be introduced to someone through a friend, etc. Like I said, it works for some and not for others…I just do find it a waste of time when one finds himself spending hours and hours on there searching through profiles and waiting to be contacted by someone.. others find it a way to pass time … bored perhaps, not much to do…and hoping for something good to come out of the ‘fun!’

Not really, when you’re introduced through a friend you know you may have at least some things in common with that person since you have a mutual friend. With this, you don’t know anything about the people who are there and you’re actually go through lists of people looking for someone who matches whatever criteria you have in your head; it’s almost reducing marriage and relationships to catalogue shopping… it’s weird.

Rihab, I understand what you’re saying but though I may not think it’s the best way to meet someone, it remains a way that if used properly something good can come out of it …

Julie, We’ll see what happens when I visit you this summer…lool probably nothing:p
