I found my husband via the internet (not Mudcat) .. we met six years ago this week. Still totally soppy about each other.

The advantage to a lonely hearts thread is that you can be reasonably sure the people on it are at least looking for a relationship, whereas people contributing to a "normal" thread may be doing just that. You can't, however, be sure that the people on any thread are single or available or what they seem to be or even honest!

Good luck to all of you who are lonely and want to change things ...may this be the year you find what you're looking for.
