I remember a friend getting drunk and going on furgather or something like that.

Isn't it like a furry tinder?

I met Al Baghdadi on PoF. My advice? Be yourself and be completely honest. The whole concept of online dating is that the sheer number of people guarantees you'll find a match. Pay more attention to the details of their profile than their attractiveness. Acclimate yourself before trying to nab people you think are hot.
