I first met my girlfriend Charlotte through what ___ known as online dating. We had each sent in our personal details ___ inclusion in the website's database. The database search results suggested we were a good match ___ our personal details so that we could get in touch with each ___ . Our first meeting took ___ in a restaurant in London. It was ___ people call a blind date and ___ of us had ever been on one before, although we didn't realise this at the time. My first impression was that Charlotte was smartly dressed and looked much prettier ___ in her photo. She told me she'd come straight from the office and there hadn't been time to change into something more casual. At first, it was quite difficult to find something to talk about apart ___ our jobs. But then Charlotte asked me about my hobbies and we found we had quite a few interests in common. We've been going out ever since.
