We Fell In Love In A Chatroom!

June9

Some people say don’t knock it before you try it… but I know for me, I don’t want to date over the Internets. Um, what is that? I am married? Well! You know what I mean! If I wasn’t married I’d not want to meet someone over the net. Now… I am not knockin’ it for everyone, but for me… it just creeps me out. I have a few friends that met and fell in love in the virtual world… and by all means, good for them…. but it freaks me out. I am a bit too, “what if it is all a lie…” I am a conspiracy theorists (much like my husband) and I have a hard time not believing that way too much creepy stuff can ensue over meeting via the net. My life has a way of making a joke out of me. A couple of days ago Sadie and I were invited to have dinner with one of our blog readers. Sadie had met her once before, and I had just stalked her blog, and she mine, and so we had never really met ‘in real life.’ So an invitation was extended over the bloggasphere. When I read the invite I was all, “aw that was nice….” Then my eharmony fears crept in and I started to feel like this was a strange chat room experience. We met over the Internet. We fell in love. He secretly makes dolls out of living women. Man! My imagination is wild! Too many made for TV movies!! So tonight was D day… My husband and I got lost on the way to our dinner date’s home. We were horrifically late, we said a couple of curse words during a card game, we giggled at sexually inappropriate “that is what she said…” 

I have to eat crow. I have to, at least partially, retract my statement about creepy internet relationships. I have to say this was one of the most pleasant, laid back,  and sociable dinners I have ever been to all thanks to the Internet. It involved chocolate covered strawberries  and  a beautiful baby…. who can hate on that!? So here is to the Internet. It brings people together who would otherwise never know one another. I can’t say that if G kicks the bucket I am ready to troll the inter-web to find the next lucky bastard… but for now I can say I am bit less skeptical of using the Internets as an avenue for initiating relationships.

Here is to you Internet!!

    I have made many friends on the web who then ended up being long-term friendships in real life. I think it all depends from where you take it to. And I’m definitely looking forward to meeting my blogger friends at BlogHer!

    Good for you. I have not met up with any fellow bloggers yet but I think it would be fun.

    I was SO skeptical before I, you know, met my husband on the Internet. But I had to be VERY persuaded to date online, and I had tried to date the regular old way for two years without much success. It’s just numbers — so many single men looking online, and sure there are creeps (although I met very few making dolls out of real women …), but there are also some awesome ones. As you saw, friends as well as husbands!

    So true Elizabeth! Did you meet your husband on an internet dating site? I have always wondered how those work….

    while john and i didn’t meet over the internet, it completely played a role in that awkward beginning phase. which is fantastic, because we are both pretty awkward people. god bless teh internets.

    So how do you know that secretly, your internet friend doesn’t kidnap people, fatten them up, & then kill them & skin them to make “people” costumes?

    I have a friend who is currently “binge dating” on Plenty of Fish. It’s a bit sad, really. Sometimes she will go on 2 – 3 dates in one night! She’ll meet one guy she likes, but will keep searching for “Mr. Right”. So, even when she’s found someone worth spending time with, she’s still addicted to dating all the other men who are out there.
    I would imagine that this is the case for a lot of people. I only tried it once. The man I met was nothing like his profile. However, these days it’s getting harder and harder to meet new people, so I might give it a shot again. I will definitely have my eyes wide open this time. We’ll see what happens…

Jasmine Brown and Sadie Perkins have been friends for several years. They are both graduates of John Brown University. They both were born in September, love chocolate, coffee, swearing, and loving on their babies. While they share many commanilites- they are from two different worlds. Sadie, a New Mexico native, grew up in a blended family, while Jasmine, an Oklahoman, grew up with a single parent. Jasmine and Sadie are passionate about being mothers, in different way.  Sadie is the mother of The Norah. Norah is a bright one year old who can clear the room with her vocal stylings.  Sadie swears she can only get pregnant with girls- lest she have to deal with a booger eating boy! Isaiah is Jasmine’s son. He is two years old. He is nicknamed “Toad” because he tends to be well…. toady. Jasmine thinks she is only cut out to mother boys… because, well, she is a Tom Boy herself.

Join these two women  and read about their crazy daily happenings!!!
