How many have found "love" on the forum?

I met my husband on an online dating site. We have been together for 10 years. It would have been nice to have met someone who loved animals as I do. But I have been working on my husband over the years. 1 cat was fairly easy. Then I added some pocket pets over the years. Then the D-O-G, big 3 letter word I finally got. Now he loves our dog and cares for him like I do.
At first he said "no way no snakes" and we used to argue about it. It took about 9 years before I got him to let me have a snake (I had snakes with my exhusband, who took them all in the divorce, so I always wanted my own), then I had added 3 more since then and will be adding another next month. The tortoise was a piece of cake after the snakes. You can always work on people to get them to love or at least accept your pets. If not, then that person isn't the right one for you.

He was kind of Canadian about it?

Its funny most of the girls I have dated are cool until they find out how many reptiles I have. Some dont mind the dragons or leos but when they find out about all the snakes it doesn't usually last long after that... Lol It would nice to find someone that shares my passion for reptiles.. :-)

I knowww!! It's bad enough all the men in my life hate snakes, but I literally know NO females that love snakes except my mom...but she hates spiders so she won't go to the expo with me (T's are so cute and fluffy...I don't understand how they are scary)...it makes me sad :(

And for that reason I'm not bringing my son to the one in NH...way too far away to be dealing with a hyper 4 y/o...but he's coming to the MA one with me! lol

Although once over a year ago I had one guy hitting on me a lot of the time.. It was kinda weird to be honest. :rofl:

No guys for you :P

But then again your into big snakes :rolleyes:

Tho i would love to see a guy tell u no snakes LOL

I have dated one woman I met on the internet but that was on Ever Quest. I am an old nerd. It would be awesome to meet a woman that likes snakes it is fairly rare for me to even talk to guys that like snakes. Either we are all weird "which I know I am " or other people just don't get it.

Dam, I think I'm the rare lucky one!

My girlfriend will only play with my snakes when she's drunk but would NEVER put up a fuss over me owning them. She knows what I'm all about and I told her straight up. She's amazing! Be honest and open and it will take you a long way :).

Now rats on the other hand....:D

I lucked out, my boyfriend is terrified of snakes but his two daughters LOVE them. So we trump him! He's only ever held one of my snakes but it isn't an issue for me, he's supportive and if I want snake money he's there to pass it over ;)

Most of the girls I have dated are OK with snakes, but none have really liked them all that much. They sometimes hold them occasionally. I beleive they do it to impress me, or make me think they are interested in what I am interested in. I did date a girl back-in-the-day that was pretty interested in them; although, she was into all animals. Hopefully I will find a girl like that again, one day...

BTW, I have never dated a girl that I met online. I persoanlly like to meet them in person if I plan on dating them.
