This morning I was notified that a dear friend passed away in the wee hours of the morning due to a massive heart attack.  A mutual friend of ours was with him when it happened.  Members of the online dating site we all met on are in mourning this day. Our dear friend was a true friend to all, and was deeply loved. He shared his wisdom and humor on the message boards, and in person at parties hosted by various members of the online dating site. He touched many lives, and helped many in their times of need.

Even when the dating is going slow, being a member of an online dating site that offers community features has its perks. For me, one of the best has been the wonderful friends I have made online that have carried over into real life – including my dear friend, Bill.

Today’s Question: What do you like best about ‘community’ features of online dating sites?
