I thought that!!! Think it's nice people get on enough to do it, but I'd feel a bit odd....people on here know stuff about me even my best friends don't know!!! Would feel a little self conscious knowing that...
And to answer your question....I joined initially because I had a relationship type problem I wanted answering....so used the facility where you can send the mods/whoever a question directly and they answer you back in a few days......thought they were really helpful, so thought as they were so helpful, the forum might be a good place to start posting, as others might be that helpful too!! And all sort of snowballed from there really.....:)
Joke.
It's not really weird metting people off here. Well it is, but it isn't really after the first five minutes. The couple of people I've met have been as they were on here, so no great dramas to report.
Do you find it a bit strange though, cos you might have a good bit of banter going in text...like...written down, but you don't know how to 'be'a round each other in real life??
But then, guess the best way to get over that is just to get drunk together...:D
Yeah i agree like some shit i would neverrr talk about with my mates or anything i think its nice to be able to chat about stuff on here but go out as normal with all my mates and mixing the two in real life would be a bit weird for me !
And i might get on well with some one on here then meet them and it could just be incrediably awkward or something
Meeting people off here isnt odd after the first 10 mins or so.
Next question? :razz:
Ditto.
Meeting people is weird for about five seconds until you start talking/getting drunk. Then its fine.
I would love to meet a handful of people from here, (one in paticular ) but I'm on the other side of the world so ... yeah.
I left in 2002 for a stupid reason, and came again in 2004 because I needed to work on my social skills. People online are good enough when you can't find any people in person to do that with.
Then I just stuck around.
I have met a few people off here. not for a long time though, they were all really nice. A couple I am still in contact with while others I feel I know better through livejournal.
In my case it was about half an hour. (not people off here though):o
