I get funny looks from people when I tell how I made my boyfriend's acquaintance.
  • my great advice

    I've met a bunch of my best friends online. it's a little embarrassing but I like them enough to get over it. but once i met these two friends who met eachother online. They told me that when people ask them how they met.... they lie!

    they really do! they say "We met through friends." I was like, it's nice that you guys are close enough to lie about this together. Because they were just super normal girls, right?

    My advice: Tell those close to you the truth, so you don't have to "keep your stories straight" or omit the online circumstance, but detail your first date... but why get worked up over that? Just say, "We met through friends." It's just less embarrassing. and I've met ALOT of people online, but come on, the internet is nerdy!

    I DON'T think that's a "BAD" thing (every single girl in my office is enthusiastically clicking their way to a soulmate, and my boss met her husband speed dating), but why worry! just say you met through friends. ta-da!
