This isn’t necessarily a sex question, but I’m looking for some advice. I recently joined a dating website, and have gone on a couple of dates with a guy. I can see this relationship going somewhere, but I’m kind of embarrassed to tell people how we met. Any suggestions?

Honesty. Really. Dating sites aren’t that uncommon anymore and you should be proud of your accomplishments. Yeah, I met him online. I weeded through all those other people and found this one. And then we really clicked. There shouldn’t be any shame in it. It’s a thing. And if it works, it works.

Just don’t make something up on your own. Your partner will probably find out and be confused as to why you’re telling everyone lies. Not a good way to start a foundation for something new.
