How'd you meet? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

As you may or may not know, I'm in the process of getting a dissolution (which is a good thing). But, I'm a bit of a recluse, so I'm kinda scared that I may never meet anyone else (although I'm only 25).

I'm def. not looking for anyone now or anything, but I'm just curious how you all met your boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/wives, etc.

We met while riding around Shoneys. Back then it had a drive-in kind of like Sonic. Thats where all the teenagers from all the different schools went to hang out. And I pulled up beside his car and just started talking to him & his best friend. My two best friends were with me, so that kind of helped.

Online.

I'm a recluse too...so I'm glad this is working out. Yay for the net.

Online.
We had been talking for a year before meeting in person.

tdf4077 · 04-09-2007, 09:51 AM

see, online kinda scares me 'cause I'm not a very trusting person, so I wouldn't know if the person's being honest or whatnot? Did you use like Match/Eharmony?

Actually get this me and my boyfriend meant on this very websit. About 4 years ago my boyfriend noticed that I was also from Nebraska so he decided to talk to me and we had several private chats, we talked for about a year over the internet before we meant. Then one day we decided we wanted to meet so we picked a town kind of inbetween each other and we both agreed we would both bring a friend along just to be safe. So we meant and realized that everything we told about each other over the internet was true and we hung out the whole day and had such a good time that we decided to do it again and then we became boyfriend and girlfriend and we have been dating for 3 years now.

I went to Cupid Junction and got a bunch of emails from loonies. Just this one person seemed to be really 'interested' but I got scared so I canceled my acct . It turns out that we found each other on My Space and had no idea until recently that we have known each other for a while longer than what we thought.

You are so young. Most definitely you will find love again. In the meantime, try and enjoy yourself, whether it's alone time or with dating, meeting new people. Not trying to get you out there right now, but eventually, you will feel the bitterness of divorce go away. Have fun, relax and enjoy.

Thanks for the kind words and support! I went straight from living with my parents to living with my soon-to-be ex, so this is the first time I'm ever going to really be on my own. I think that's part of why I'm scared. I don't have too many friends or anything, either, and my best friend is leaving for med school in a few months.

But, on the other hand, I know I'm going to be happier and better off in the long run to get through all this. Just a big part of me really wants to have my own family and the storybook romance. But, you're right. I'm nearly 26, but there's plenty of time. I rushed before, and that's what got me in this situation

I hope you do find what you are seeking and that it will last forever. I do suppport you and most definitely understand what you are going through. As hard as it was after my divorce, having my own place with my two girls was just great. Although I went through financial setbacks, the peace and tranquility of having my own place to do what I wanted and be who I wanted was an experience. I know you can make it through and YOU WILL!

I'm almost 25 and I've never met anyone really special. I can be really shy and a bit of a recluse too. I worry sometimes that I'll never meet anybody, but I absolutely believe that when it's right it'll happen. Hey, we're both still very young, there's plenty of time!
