Every day crowds of Date.co.uk members are getting together to hang out, shoot the breeze,
and have some fun. They always meet in the same spot, and many of the same faces can be seen
day in and day out.
The atmosphere is casual, and everyone is invited—including you. Interested in
joining the party?
Well, you don't have to go far. Just duck into the Date.co.uk chat room, and let the
adventure begin.
Now, if you're a Newbie(someone new to chat rooms), it may take some
getting used to. Cyber-talk is fast and many phrases have been pared down into short and
simple acronyms.
IAE (in any event), once you get it down, you'll find that the chat room is a great
way to make new friends and maybe even find your next BF (boyfriend), GF (girlfriend)
or SO (significant other). What's nice is that you can get to know each other B4 (before)
you meet F2F (face to face) IRL (in real life). And BTW (by the way), the Date.co.uk chat
rooms are unlike any other because you can see who you're talking to by looking up their
profile. So WTH (what the heck), GA (go ahead) and give it a whirl, even if it's just
FYA (for your amusement) or to ask someone WU (what's up?). Everyone seems to be
having a blast, and people tell us that they're often ROTFL (rolling on the floor laughing),
LOL (laughing out loud), or LIS (laughing in silence), IYKWIM (if you know what I mean).
Here a few more acronyms to get you started, but if you're SITD (still in the dark)
check out our new Date.co.uk dictionary of acronyms below. TTFN (ta ta for now) and GL
(good luck).
