How-we-met Story

Posted: Wed, Jul 27 2005, 5:16 pm Post subject: How-we-met Story

So, another poster and I have been PMing each other for a month now. On June 28th she realized from one of my posts that we live in the same city. Since then, we've been PMing about so many different things, but we never gave out our true identities. At one point I did have to give her my first name because I was referring her to someone to speak to. So she gave me her first name, too.
We keep on joking about bumping into each other while shopping or at shul, but it's never happened! So FINALLY she's coming over for lunch this shabbos! We finally "spilled the beans" and told each other who we are - but we don't know each other, anyway!
We'll let you know how shabbos goes!

And I'm posting as amother because some of you know one of us, so revealing that we know each other may lead you to figure out who the other one is.... and both of us would rather remain anonymous!!

You know your children are growing up when they stop asking you where they came from and refuse to tell you where they are going

(I'm the OTHER amother!!!!!!)

Aside from PM'ing each other via this site, we don't know each other one iota- AND MY HUSBAND AND I JUST ACCEPTED AN INVITATION TO THEIR HOME FOR SHABBOS LUNCH!!!

We didn't know their names or address...... or what they looked like. All I knew was they lived within walking distance and davened at the same shul.

Only after we accepted amother's invitation, did we exchange names and addresses that we'd know where to go shabbos!

I'm sure you'll all want to know how our lunch goes, so we'll have to keep you all posted! Stay tuned for the next installment!

RG-

this is not a joke, although we did agree to it being amusing! Like we said before....... we'll let you all know how it goes!

RG, this is the original amother, again, and yes, it's 100% true. we are both pretty high posters, too - definitely in the top 30 or 40! she's higher up in the ranks than I am (although, she joined a few months after me Wink

).
are you thinking that it's not true, because who in the right mind would invite complete "strangers" to their house? well, we've been PMing for a while and we've found people that we know in common - so we're not really so concerned (at least I'm not, but I haven't told dh that I've never met or talked to our guests before!)
now, any good ideas what I should serve for lunch to my guests?!?

rg I c this completely differently - I know a lot of u know each other but I dont "KNOW" anyone on here, and I can c how it would b exciting 4 pple 2 meet offline after becoming friends online - I once read that getting 2 know someone online is TOTALLY opposite 2 meeting in real life - on here u get 2 know them from the inside out, whereas offline its from the outside in (anyone following this so far Confused

) - so why wouldnt it b fun 2 meet and c if ur preconceptions r right Exclamation

I dont see why anyone here is negative about this? It really shows what a wonderful site this is that brings people together...I am just so surprised at some of the negative opinions!

makes me think of reality tv, but with really real people and positive interactions.
