i met my fiance through yahoo's online personals. Dont listen to these guys, theres some hot girls on there. check out AOL's personal's also. my Gf had just moved to my area, and knew noone around here, so she seen my personal, and emailed me, then we wrote each other for a while, and started dating.
Belive me, im super shy also, and i would never have never approched her on the street, she was alot better lookin then my past girlfriends, but since we wrote each other alot, she really liked me, and wasnt blinded by my ugly ass looks, but got to know me first.
