...and keep in contact with bunches more. The longest relationships I have currently are with a group of 7 women I started talking to about 10 years ago when all of our kids were just babies. We've gotten together at least once a year, sometimes twice a year or more. We've flown out west to meet up with 2 of the gals for a weekend. I wish they lived closer. Then another set of folks, I've known and talked to daily for just a little over 6 years. Three of us are admin of an online gaming league together, and again, we talk constantly - email, phone, IM...one day we will meet I hope, but I've met 9 men and women from the game league in real life, and 2 have stayed at my home. Then I have my MT friends who I've worked with at different points in time who I speak to just about daily. It's no wonder my phone batteries are always dead.
Being afraid to meet them or talk to them on the phone was never an issue with me. Sure I am aware of the dangers involved, but hours upon hours chatting in IM on the phone, sharing stories & confidences, common interests, family pictures, talking to their significant others, etc., erased any kind of fear for me.
Don't get me wrong, I don't just talk to anyone, I'm cautious of who I let into my online world, and so far, I've chosen my friends wisely repeatedly. |
