Advantages: I guess you've got a pre-screen because you only say hello to people your interested in

Disadvantages: there are some dodgy people out there

I met my wife on ICQ, for those who have never used it and I'm not even sure if its still around ICQ was a big thing about 10 years ago.

ICQ was a message/chat site in which you could enter your interests and then trawl through an open dialog box looking for interesting people to talk to.

As we are talking 10 years most of the users tended to be American or Far Asian but there would be a smattering of Europeans and British people on it as well.

You could start a chat with the person in which you typed in real time or you could send messages which when you received a new one gave an annoying high pitched double quaver sound.

Anyway this isn't a reveiw on ICQ but what it did, one night I came across a girl in leeds and said hello. We started chatting online, then progressed to the phone, then we met in person. Fair to say we got on well over the phone but didn't hit to off at first face to face, however, I kept persisting and we eventually started going out together.

Now its ten years later, we've been married 7 nearly 8 years, have a beautiful 14 month old son and another only a month away (child that is, we don't know the sex). So love can be found on the internet and the reason my now wife kept talking to me was when we first started chatting I didn't ask her chest size or ask her if she had any dodgy pictures - a lesson there for us all I feel.

Finally have fun dating online but please be sensible, and don't reveal too much about yourself until your ready to meet.

Summary: Have fun but be sensible and safe
