Years and years ago, I was really active on a forum, and one of the members did this world trip, couch surfing with different members of the forum and seeing the world. She and I weren't good friends. In fact, she irritated me a bit, nothing in particular, just... Didn't vibe. At all. But a leg of her trip was taking through my state, and she needed a place to crash, so I said fuck it, sure.
She stayed with her best friend from the forum in Boston, and it was a complete bust. They didn't get along, Boston friend found her irritating, grating, and overwhelmingly boring.
Then she got to my place, and I made a new best friend. We got along so well she stayed an extra 2 days, and we had a fucking blast.
Irl/online can be a major difference, one from the other
I was once really excited to meet a forum friend on whom I'd been crushing on a little as we were going to attend the same event, and she brought along a forum newbie who lived near her and who I didn't really know all that well.
It turned out my crush and I had just platonically friendly vibes in person, but her friend and I had an immediate major connection and ended up dating seriously for a year.
Very true. I had someone I was friends with IRL who I would talk about my online roleplay community with. I asked if she was interested in joining and she said sure. She was... insufferable. Did not get along with anyone else. I found her online presence incredibly grating. It was crazy, it was a completely different person.
My writing words and my speaking words are very different. Writing is much better. All but one of my girlfriends over the last 20 years were chatted up online/email/sms first. IRL, they'd probably have been put off by my verbal hesitation, and my glancing at their knockers ever 10 seconds (a habit I find it impossible to break without intense concentration on not doing it)
I've got a good friend who played D&D with us a couple times and found out real quick that not all friend groups are okay with overlapping. It was awful
Most people hate me both online and in person.
I don't even know you.
I hate clicking links.
You must be very consistent across the board. Can I ask what people hate about you?
I'm a confident asshole that will consistently disappoint you, baby. Some folks find that charming at first but I'm always able to eventually correct their misconception.
Fuck you, I'm in
That doesn't sound very confident.
See, I've disappointed you already. It's a gift.
Count me in, you fucker
🥰
I feel ya. Same way
