Good grief I met my husband on the internet. How could I be embarrassed about making friends from the internet?



ITA. I also met DH on the internet so did MILLIONS of other people. No need to be ashamed at all about it.

I still get a few eyebrowns when I mention meeting people on the internet.

This is 2008. It's not less safer than meeting guys at a bar, club, etc... Lots of people relocate and need to meet new people. People have "hobby clubs" online, etc... It's a new way to meet people with same interests. I actually find it easier than being at a park with my son and start a conversation with a total stranger. I could meet a complete wacko (they are not just on the internet!!!!) or they may think I am a wacko (please nobody comments on that last comment Chat Icon )

Nope. I always say we met on a Parenting (insert what ever chat board you want) web site for moms in my area. What I do leave out though is what website, so that no one can come and spy on me Chat Icon

Re: Have you ever lied about how you know someone from LIF/LIW?

I have never lied about it. I have felt weird telling people but I do not like to lie. Also, I have realized that anyone I know who would frown on it either has very few friends of their own or has not made any new friends in about 20 years.

I lie.
I say we met on a Thundercats afficionado website.
Or playing Virtual Bowling on the web.
Or that we met on line. at CVS.
I prefer to force people to judge me harshly. So that I can in turn judge them for being so judgemental.

helps me sleep at night.

Explaining interweb friends is easier than explaining how I met my DH. Chat Icon I am not ashamed of my interweb friends. Chat Icon

Re: Have you ever lied about how you know someone from LIF/LIW?

No, I usually say it's a girl I met from LIW....that wedding website I go on.

however, there was a girl who recommended there tailor (who they were friends with) to me on LIW (gemmifer) and told me to mention her name, so i did but I told the guy that she was a friend of mine (& then prayed he didn't ask me any details of her life lol)!!

I was just going to say this!!

I mean, I met Vinny on Match.com -- how can I lie about meeting my papaya on LIW?? Chat Icon

I'm like "yeah, my friend I met on LIW was in my bridal party - that's right"

People can think I'm weird if they want lol they probably would anyway! - it is not like just because I met someone online it makes them less of a real person hahaha
