I met my future wife in irc in 1994. In 1996 she moved from where she was to my state, and then in 2000 we got married, and have been ever since. The Internet was way different back then. I tell that to anyone using one of the current/past crop of dating apps.

IRC was nice because you’re bullshitting in a giant group and maybe eventually you might find someone interesting. Interaction in dating apps seem like it would be so forced.

I met my wife on a MUD in 94, in 96 I moved in with her and we broke up shortly after that. In 2001 we got back together and married 3 months later.
