Meeting people

[CreeFee]

Hey all. I broke up with my ex about 6 months ago and i'm having trouble meeting new people. I've been thru the bar scene and it is such a DRAG. Too many games. What's a good way to meet people besides going to bars/clubs? CYA

<font face='Papyrus'><b>Actually I've heard of a LOT of people meeting through the internet lately Creefee. Either through personals or message boards or chat. It has the advantage of allowing you to really get to know the person a bit through e-mail and chat before meeting, so it's not like a blind date or meeting someone you don't know at all. The world wide web has become kind of like the "town green" used to be, all sorts of people hanging out... It's just a new place to make friends. <img src=pix/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle></font id='Papyrus'>

I agree with Darlene. Even though some people may use the net as a way to Lie and Play Games, my experience is that it is a fanstastic way to get to know people. People seem to open up more easily on the net, to trust more easily, to reveal their souls more easily. I have made some very wonderful friends on the net. And I met Lizzie. Whenever I finally meet her, she will not be a stranger.

Good luck.....

Hi Creefee. The internet is a great place to meet people. I met some wonderful people over the internet, like my sister & nieces, which aren't my real family but I met them through my ex-boyfriend. I know that sometime it is hard to meet new people, but as long as you are yourself to that person they will like you for who you are and not what you want them to think that you are. I have gone through good and bad through meeting people from the net, but I have also made many friends, too. So my advice is just be yourself and meet new people.

I agree. The internet is a wonderful place to meet people. I first started posting 3 years ago over at Lycos' Friendship Cafe. I gradually drifted over to the FFA (Free For All) aka Adult Boards. I met some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Many of them are here on this bbs now. I keep in contact with several people both by e-mail, bbs' and telephone. I've even had the pleasure of meeting 7 of the people here last Summer in Las Vegas. We had a blast!(at least I THINK we did.."I" did at least). 72 hours with hardly any sleep LOL! I'd love to see these people again but unfortunately, I did and said some hostile things during some extremely difficult times, and now I'd just be happy if they could forgive me enough to one day say hello to me again. So...what does this rambling of mine all mean? Go ahead and meet people and make friends and have a good time here BUT remember that these ARE words and you can't see faces here to read the real emotions behind the words and as a result things can get mis-understood very easily. Tempers flare easily as does laughter. Always keep your guard up and don't be stupid like me and give out too much personal information. <img src=pix/icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=pix/icon_smile_8ball.gif border=0 align=middle>
