Well, Leaina, I had met both of them face-to-face prior to online, but yes, the first time or two actually seeing the person after spilling out inner thoughts in print was a bit difficult. I am naturally shy and reserved in person, but a bit more open online. It turns out that all went well (as you read). I really would not know how it would have turned out had I not known them first...

Keep these threads going!
I was busy at work and fell behind after Part I. Now I'm trying to catch up, but I'm not quite done with part III.

Best fanbase ever.

Copilot

I know you're not going to be really happy for awhile; I myself am still manic from my last relationship. Happy! No, sad! No, just relieved! No, really pissed off! No...!
Blech. But I am glad for you because it didn't sound to me like a pile of goodness, which is what I really hope you find. We all deserve a big pile of goodness in our lives.

Internet dating... Yeah, I tried that. I mostly got proposals from men in third-world countries. Met with a few actual people; was never attracted to any of them in person, sadly. I'm not going to rule it out, but I'd prefer it if I just met a shiny, available Browncoat at the Serenity screening here

Lots of hugs for copilot. Feel free to rant and rave like a crazy woman when the need strikes.

Haven't had internet relationships ever. I once had cyber sex propositioned to me by some creepy guy, but I was 14 (he didn't mind breaking the law if I didn't) and then told him he was a sick !

QUESTION: So I was in a store today looking for something very specific (and they didn't have it). Anyway, my friend and I ran into this guy that we went to school with for 10 years. We made smalltalk and whatnot, then we left. In the years since high school ended he's done some interesting things and I'd like to talk to him more about it (and yes, he's kinda cute). The problem is we didn't talk in high school at all (we were friends when we were younger) and I can't find him on myspace. Would it be creepy if I showed up at work to see if he was there or called his work? I kind of think it is, but I can't tell. And what do I say to him? How do I make this NOT awkward or weird? I'm so confused! And I think he's gonna be in Cali when I'm there. GRrrrrr.

Well, where does he work? Is it a place you would go? If it's a place you can have an excuse for going, I say you should swing by. Don't call, just swing by. If he's not there, keep trying. If he is, just say "Hey, we should catch up. Your story about blank was pretty interesting. Give me a call." and then go on with whatever. But if you want to seem casual, definitely don't call. And... maybe don't show up too often. Three days in a row and people start to think you're a little odd.
*Ahem* Not that I would know...

He works at a sports store and I'm only in town until Tuesday . . .maybe I could drag my brother there for something.

I really just want one of my friends to do it for me (particularly the one that was with me). It's a total cop-out, but so much easier.

I think dragging your brother along for a trip to the sports store would work just fine. He's you brother make him browse for hours if you must.

An I carried such a torch.......For the Dark Lord

I'd say go for it. The dragging the brother along for a good excuse to be there sounds like a good idea, too. (That's what siblings are for, isn't it? :) Personally, I've had that happen to me every once in a while: running into old acquaintances at random times and catching up with them, etc. Hasn't ever turned into anything much, but I don't think I've ever thought of it as wierd... Anyways, good luck :)

@Internet Dating: Never tried it, really. Come to think of it, I've never really dated anyone I wasn't friends with beforehand. But I've known people in fairly successful relationships where that was how they met, so I suppose you never know.

Anyone ever done the whole "cybersex" thing? I only ever did once back in the day when I was into the whole internet role-playing scene. (MUD/ MUSH/ MUX, etc.) Didn't really do much for me, I suppose. But it seems to be quite a "thing" here on the 'net. Read an article the other day about an online game called "Second Life" and it's burgeoning online prostitution... :P

Ha! I had cybersex once. It was really mostly a joke for me, though; I was laughing hysterically almost the whole time. Other than that it really didn't do much for me. Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby!

Okay, I got a question for the guys. If you were to find out a lady you liked/were dating liked ladies, what would your response be? I've gotten a few different ones, just like to know what's, uh, most likely.
