Lisa 28 years old – Rose Bay, NSW

“I would like to start by letting others know how much my life has changed since I began using dating websites , and this also reflects a big change in me as a person too. I was often puzzled as to why a few of my friends willingly sat in front of their PC for hours most days, talking to strangers online. So I guess I got curious and logged on myself, after all, I had been single for more than 8 months.”

“I was a quite taken back at the warm welcome I got when I wondered into the singles chat rooms , at almost an instant, I seemed to be the centre of attention, something I had not been used to for a long time. Little did I realize, men out numbered the women, at a guess, 3 guys to 1 girl? Over the coming weeks, every time I logged onto the Hookmeup chat rooms, it felt like the guys were waiting for me, of course they weren’t, but it was apparent that single girls were in exceptional demand. Not once did I ever initiate a conversation, and to be honest, this attention did wonders for my self-esteem and I started to realize what the attraction was to online dating. Some people I chatted to were self confessed online dating addicts.”

“I declined dating invitations for about 6 weeks, until I was confident enough with the process. I arranged to meet Tim on the 13th of April 2009 at an inner city cafe in Sydney’s inner city Darlinghurst. Tim was my first official real online date, we had chatted for weeks prior both online and on the phone, sometimes intimately. There was a build up, or perhaps anticipation leading up to our first date.”

“I was definitely attracted to him, and the feeling I got was that he shared the same sentiment. We left the cafe just before 7 PM and moved onto the Cargo Bar at Darling Harbour. We drank quite a lot before inevitably going to Tim’s flat at Newtown “just for a coffee” We sat in front of the TV until 5.15 AM neither person being able to muster the courage to make a move. By this time I was tired, until Tim said he was going to bed, and gestured I follow.”

“Realizing that this whole evening had been the result of the past several weeks of online fantasy, and nothing more, I decided to leave. That was the last time I saw or spoke to Tim. From then on, I set myself some rules. Just go on lots of dates, and forget about chatting to guys for weeks on end before a real date, that environment only creates a grey area between fantasy and reality.”

“I must have dated another 20 plus guys, and the whole online dating concept became a numbers game. With the amount of attention a girl gets online, I figured it was only a matter of time until my number came up.”

“I am now engaged to Robert, who I met on Hookmeup Online. We have not yet set an official date for the wedding, but the venue will be at Toronga Zoo, Bradley’s Head. Robert wasn’t one of the guys hitting on me whenever I logged on to the dating site, all that just become annoying and I became uncomfortable with being a sexual target, because that is all it was. So I undertook my own love hunt, and came across Roberts charming profile, and we fell madly in love. I can honestly say, I credit my entire happiness and exciting future to the internet, thanks Matt, and the team at Hookmeup Online”
