i met my boyfriend online. we met on a messageboard that was populated by people who went to ncsu (i currently go there, he graduated from ncsu and now goes to grad school in atlanta).
we just started talking one day because i had imed him to see what middle school he went to and if he knew some of the people that i knew.
anyway, we then started talking on instant messanger more often. we actually realized that we knew a lot of the same people. he was good friends with my best friends older brother when they were in highschool, and was also friends with my roommates at the time.
then after a year of talking to each other on instant messanger we started talking on the phone all night to each other. then last year during thanksgiving he came up and stayed with me for a couple of days and that was the first time we had met face to face. we then saw each other during christmas, and for the last year have alternated traveling to see each other. now i am planning on moving down to atlanta over the summer to go to georgia tech for grad school
one thing, i have troubles admitting to people that we met online. he has no problems telling people how we met...but i usually tell people that we met once or twice a long time ago and then remet online (this is what i told my mom). i dont know why.....i think i am afraid of people instantly labeling me as a loser.
i do have to say....we only would have gotten this far because we knew a lot of the same people. i probably would have never met him if he was not such good friends with my best friends older brother. but because they were, i felt a lot safer talking to him and meeting him
