I know several people who met and got married with children on CL. It was a normal dating site, and it also has(d) "strictly platonic" and "missed connections"- all of it is shut down now. Are dating sites/Tinder next? We will miss the days when internet wasn't like cable TV.
- lovehashbrowns 9y agoIt was definitely fun to find dates and quirky people on there. I was finding it especially useful now that I'm in a new city and just looking to meet new people.
- rhodry 9y agoI feel ya dude. I just moved to an entirely new city, and being in my 30's, meeting new people outside of work just isn't what it was in college. I met some pretty cool girls there. Yea, lots of creeps and prostitutes, but there were real people on there too if you took the time to screen them.
- puzzle 9y agoMissed connections seems to have moved to "Community". [edit: moved as in "CL took it out of personals and relocated it altogether", not that users repurposed an existing forum]

- daturkel 9y agoI loved browsing the strictly platonic section looking for sweet/bizarre/novel posts, but it was definitely full content that was _not_ platonic.
- antonvs 9y agoYou just have a narrow definition of 'platonic'. :)
