I took what I'm told is a common route, and used the Internet obssessively through my younger teens, in the hope I'd meet people like me who could help me understand what I was thinking, and what I wanted.
Luckily, I did meet a few such people, who I'm still in contact with today.
But my first FOUR boyfriends were from the Internet, and never lived anywhere near me. So I like to think I saw, and learned, a lot.
As has already been said, what you see of a person via the Net can be twisted into what they want you to see, or even what YOU want to see, and admittedly, this still happens in person.
But with the benefit of hindsight, I can look back at say in all honesty, that getting to know those guys, and flirting, and being nice, and romantic... It gave me a buzz, sure... But doesn't compare to what it's like actually doing it physically.
Although it is certainly NOT a rule of thumb, nearly everyone I met offline was different to how they were online. And it made me sick. I'd spent years talking to these people, and felt close to them, and they always screwed me over in the end.
It just wasn't right.
To simplify it, let me just suggest you try arguing with an online boyfriend.
It sucks, and its absolutely ridiculous.

P.S Reading that back, it sounds like a load of babble and big-words. But I can't be bothered to delete it, so I'm sorry :tongue:

Goldilocks hardly complements your Screen Persona as "shadow" - which suggests so much mystery and depth.
Now every time I see your name, I'm just gonna picture you as a sweet little girl running from bears.
Coincidentally, is that a past-time of yours...? :tongue:
