PumpkinJambo Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Some of you may remember the Online Dating thread from way back in 2016. If you don’t, someone had posted asking for advice on online dating and from there it took off into numerous, often hilarious, stories about JKB members’ forays into the world of online dating sites. Back in late 2016, I was single and bored. I wasn’t looking for love, on the contrary, I loved the single life, however I decided to take the plunge and sing up to OK Cupid on the back of some very funny stories on the Online Dating thread. There I met Denis. We spent hours having in depth conversations and then finally met in real life at Jessie May’s in Gorgie. The rest is history... He went on a stag weekend and I never heard from him again. 🙄 However, I also started talking to another man. The rest really is history. We bought a flat and moved from my beloved Gorgie at Christmas 2018 and last Saturday, 15th February, we got married. I am writing this from the beautiful hotel we are honeymooning at in Turkey. So this is just a note to say thank you to Kickback as without you and that thread, I’d never have met my husband and I’d probably still be single and living in a damp flat in Gorgie. ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Салатные палочки Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Aaahhh I feel just like Cilla Black. Congratulations PumpkinJambo. As it transpired I met my current partner a few months after starting that thread. So we will be four years come September and our wee girl will be two years a month before that.

Ill need to read it myself as it was a while ago but the pie story came from some lassie who invited me to her house for a steak pie dinner after she "catfished" me . Ended up going out with another lass about a week later and ended up in a Celtic pub. I was asked for updates but as the night went on I got progressively more pished and the posts tailed off. But the thread is full of loads of dating stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
