I found my self single again after quite a long time. I felt like I was out of the dating loop. Online rooms seemed pointless. Lots of angry or silly people, typing as fast as they can with all the comments scrolling by so quickly. I read a few ads in a local paper but they all seemed the same and so impersonal. Im not looking to buy a car; I was just hoping to find a date. A local dating column had an article about a new way to meet people called free chat. Now, whats the catch I wondered? I looked up the website and entered some personal information. I got to leave a detailed voice message about myself and what I was looking for in a date. I was really surprised to find so many people in my area who had used the free chat feature. Next time I checked my account I had several calls to return. Your chat made meeting other people so much easier. No false starts or wasted dates. I guess Im not the only person looking fro a better way to meet other people.

Im a snowboarder and its all I think about. My bud and I even took a road trip to Mt. Hood in Oregon this summer so we could say we got to snowboard in July. Dig that! Man, it was so cool!!! Well, except for wiping-out on ice and looking like you had road rash for the next month! OUCH! Anyway, Im always looking to hook-up with a boarder so I checked out free chat. It was so easy to get in. I listened to the various peeps that left voice messages and found this girl on free chat who lives near me that is totally into snowboards. We went to a big used and new swap meet last weekend and really seemed to hit it off. We have all these plans to go snowboarding this winter around here. I found her voice message about the fourth ad I listened to. It was an easy way to match-up with someone into the same things as me. I told my pal and he agreed. And get this; he matched up with a woman who lives about 5 miles from here. So close yet how could he have found her? Free chat actually works.
