So where did you guys find your lover/sex partner etc

Courtneyyy · 29th Oct 2009, 02:42 AM

I put other because we met working for this non profit//summer camp, and while at said camp, everyone would always refer to their life outside of this camp as real life.

29th Oct 2009, 02:57 AM

Yet to find one.

I thought I had someone but nope.!

Stuie · 29th Oct 2009, 03:03 AM

The guy who I've just started going out with, we met through orchestra. We're so cool like that.

Andytx1 · 29th Oct 2009, 03:05 AM

How do you guys find gay people so easily or bi. I have a hard time finding 1

Hmmm... I guess it's really just luck of the draw half the time. Although in Melbourne, there tend to be a HEAP of gay woodwind players. Not sure why, just is. Literally, a majority of male bassoonists in Melbourne are gay.

I met the guy I'm going out with through orchestra. There's probably someone who's gay right under your nose and you don't even know it.

My past, present and future are all partnerless, but of the two people who've been vaguely close to partners I've had, one I met online and the other at school.

Just Adam · 29th Oct 2009, 04:01 AM

dont think ive ever one...tried but it goes bad fast and the pain and missery gets old.

Lychee · 29th Oct 2009, 04:03 AM

I met my ex online through mutual friends.

Pseudojim · 29th Oct 2009, 04:56 AM

my partners have all been through real life... high school, a party, university, work.... though i do have a lovely thing going with a girl online at the mo, who i intend to meet =)

**EM68** · 29th Oct 2009, 05:07 AM

I met my bf online on a dating website. It's been the best 5 months of my life!

xequar · 29th Oct 2009, 09:46 AM

I met a guy at a Halloween party in Chicago last year.

This year, we're going to that same party together

kettleoffish · 29th Oct 2009, 12:17 PM

I've met both my boyfriends through a friend. The same friend actually, she knows a hell of a lot of people, and she's getting better at it

the first guy was a douche, but I really like my current bf

ADTR fan · 29th Oct 2009, 12:56 PM

**Helen** · 29th Oct 2009, 01:16 PM

I checked both Online and Real Life.

I first met my ex-boyfriend on MSN through a real-life friend, before meeting him in person by chance a few months later, through said real-life friend.

That friend is STILL apologising for ever letting that filth near me XD.

29th Oct 2009, 03:19 PM

Real life, through a friend.

Shevanel · 29th Oct 2009, 03:23 PM

Since when is the internet not real life? =P

malachite · 29th Oct 2009, 06:12 PM

haven't found one yet. Anyone looking for a smart a

BF who can make ya laugh at the most inappropriate things? Must be nice to my kitty.

xballetxbeautyx · 29th Oct 2009, 07:47 PM

The first one I'd known for years before I found out she was bi, and we're semi-friends now after a very, very rocky post-breakup patch.

The second I met through a friend who introduced two gay guys, and one of them knew a lesbian and gave her my number. So through... indirect mutual friendship I guess?
