This week Ron and I took time off from building LikeBright to talk to some of the people we’re building it for.  We asked 60 women to tell us about their experiences with online dating, then jotted down ideas about how Likebright could make things better.  Here are our 10 favorite interview quotes:

1. “Everything seemed good.  And then he asked me if I smoked meth.”

2. “He was 11 and I had to drive him home. He had walked all the way across town.”

3. “He told me he was a race car driver.  But he wouldn’t have fit in the car!”

4. “I used Christianmingle because it felt safer.  But some of the guys were not so Christian.”

5. We went to Ruby Tuesday’s and he was hitting on the waitress.  I know I’m not THAT ugly.”

6. “He wasn’t as much of a liar as the other ones.”

7. “Online you already know all the good things before you meet someone, and afterwards you just learn the bad things.”

8. “It feels like a game … and love ain’t a game!”

9.  “Not to brag, but I started getting messages right away.  And when I wrote to people, I always got a reply.”

10.  “Finding a relationship IS filtering.”

Does any of this sound familiar?
