I'm massively antisocial, but I sorted my sleeping schedule out and there's a two day period where I don't have lectures or tutorials, so decided to volunteer during that time... Which is where I met my current girlfriend (we went out for the first time on the 2nd).
So if you're in a fairly urban area, it's entirely possible to meet people your age just by joining more social circles (you're also likely to share the same sorts of interests and spend some time with each other during the week). I don't doubt that I'm incredibly lucky though: she was the one that asked me out rather than the other way around.
Oh and I have a massive amount of respect for Bioware after
this

OMG ElhonnaDS that post is SO FULL OF WIN I dunno where to start xD.
I didn't really "needed" an online dating site to get hitched, despite the fact that my social skills are a mess :S because I was DAMN LUCKY =D
I met Reina after the riots on 2001, she used to visit the jail were I was locked up, as part of a group of missionaries who went to the jail to bring food, and other bare necesities to the prison of Sabaneta (Which is a dump-sh1t-hole in the middle of nowhere that makes the "SONA" prison from the show Prison Break look like a Hilton hotel) and to preach to the inmates.
She's the reason I became a Christian (I used to go to church since I was a kid, but never really had any true deep faith till I met her) and after I got out, the first thing I did was seek her out. Despite my extreme clumsiness (kept forgetting my own damn name T_T) and stutter we became friends, and she made the first move.
You can figure out the rest =]
its like we were meant for each other ^_^

=] David Gaider is awesome. Its official (Hey, his name is David, like me, he HAS to be awesome)
I found this part of the response so awesome, that I'm gonna copy it for use on the official wow forums and why not? even here too. I've modified it a bit to fit for wow, but its still just as awesome. Don't believe me? just check:
More than that, I would question anyone deciding they speak for “casual gamer” just as much as someone claiming they speak for “all RPG fans”, “all female fans” or even “harcore gamers”.
You don’t
. If you wish to express your personal desires, then do so. I have no doubt that any opinion expressed on these forums is shared by many others, but since none of them have elected a spokesperson
you’re better off not trying to be one
. If your attempt is to convince Blizzard developers, I can tell you that you do in fact make your opinion less convincing by doing so.
And the person who says that the only way to please them is to restrict options for others is, if you ask me,
the one who deserves it least
. And that’s my opinion, expressed as politely as possible.
there's so much awesome in that segment it just HAS to be used.

Just be like:
"Listen. I'm a dude. This is me. Here's a bunch of pics of me, including one when I just got up with my hair a mess that my friend took because he's a prig. I included that one, because if this goes well, you'll eventually see me this way anyway, and I'm aiming for no surprises here.
Anyway- I'm funny. Like really funny- see, you're laughing already when you read this, so it must be true. It's not a slapstick, sitcom, poorly written to sell ad spots funny. It's more of a sarcastic, tongue in cheek, deeply entrenched in context funny that might go over your head if you're dumb. But lets face it, if you're dumb then you stopped reading as soon as this hit two paragraphs.
So- I like video games. And before you judge, let me explain what that means. It means I have a long attention span- here's a link to my armory if you don't believe me. Do you know how many hours it took to get all that purple armor? That's how much time I devote to someone who's not even real, and is a bipedal cow. Imagine how much MORE time I would devote to you. Not that YOU'RE a cow, or anything...but just think of it as an indication of my time spent vs. reward expectations. Also, I spend 7-10 hours a day using a keyboard and a mouse...imagine what that means in terms of muscle strength in my hands and fingers. I'll just let you think about that for a while, while I move on to other points.
It also means that all of the time spent online killing orcs and Jedi, is time I am not out looking at other women. And, if you're insecure or psych...the kind of woman who want to be able to always know where I am, then you can log on to any computer, anyplace in the world, and know that I am at home, cursing furiously at my computer screen. Which means I'm not out getting STD's or Hooters waitresses pregnant. Also, I'm bringing up the muscle tone in my hands again, in case that didn't set in the first time.
I work for a charity, btw, so you can totally tell your mom that and use that to bypass any other awkward questions about me being a gamer or wearing Jedi robes to our wedding. I said "our wedding," didn't I. well, at least you know I'm commitment minded. Plus, that makes me sensitive and stuff- chicks like that, right?
Oh- final selling point. There was a point this year during which I had to wear an eyepatch. That's almost as good as being a pirate. Pirates are sexy. So if you date me, you're really only a few steps away from dating Johnny Depp. Except with better hand muscles."
@Sinespe- that was the site I used- it's much better in the US. I wouldn't recommend buying a membership to that site in the UK, since there aren't a whole lot of members that I saw, but when I actually paid the member ship that allowed people who weren't paying to still contact me, I got a lot more traffic. Sometimes, it's worth the ten bucks a month just to give it the best shot possible.
I was like "wat", but that was awesome. 10/10

yes it was :P specially the part of wearing jedi robes for a wedding xD I nearly fell out of my chair when i read that.

Maybe, but Sinespe hasn't been back since. He's either cutting and pasting this into a profile somewhere, or is horribly offended and has left wowhead for the day- lol.
That, or he actually plays a Tauren and has a messed up hair pic (both of which I just made up) and now thinks I cyberstalk him.

I wonder if I can recommend the site that I used, or if it would be considered advertising.
I just want to drop a quick note on this point. Providing the content of the site you're linking is appropriate for the site (by which I mean PG13, not that it must be WoW-based ^_^) it's totally okay to link to stuff in the course of conversation like that. When someone makes a new thread with little or nothing to discuss and a link then that's an issue because nobody's asking to be linked away from Wowhead. It's someone trying to get their site in front of this community's eyes so we want them to ask first.
If, for example, you're talking about search engines then it's totally cool to link to google or whatever you would in a conversation.

@ Rank- I did come up with it on the spot, in response to the conversation about dating sites, and thank you.
Also, that stuff totally happens. Google Star Wars Wedding in images.
@ Asakawa- good to know, thanks!

There were three or four guys in my high school who wore starfleet uniforms under their graduation robes. Which was funny, because it was outside and it was so hot that everyone else wore dress shoes and shorts. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable they were.
