You mean some people actually meet new people other than via the internet these days? :confused: Just say you met via the internet - it covers everything. A lot of people seems to get to know others local to them via , so you could say you exchanged something via that, or bought or sold each other something via another site. A couple I went round to for a swinging meet once were worried about who they would say I was if any of the neighbours saw me, so I just suggested they say I was selling them some records or something similar.
Talking of how common meeting people via the internet is, in an obituary in the Guardian the other day a man whose partner had died wrote that they had met each other via internet dating. I think that must be some kind of first!
facebook friends are always a good one to use...oh yep a random add on facebook and we became good friends!
I used to tell my Mum I was on a dating site, altho i nearly dropped myself in it when my aunt asked which one coz she`d like to join, and I say the friends we have are from a chatroom we go in, the parties are held by said friends and so are the socials and camps we go on, its a good thing she doesn`t really have much knowledge of t`internet.
Going back over 4 years ago when we went to more socials and munchs we used to tell my parents that we were organizing gaming console events. Had to leave early cus we had to set up all the machines and make sure they were working. Of course theres always drinks after the games so we will be back tomorrow. It was something we were both quite into at the time so was an easy sell.
More recently we have just been out with friends.
I only have to tell fibs to my folks, all my other mates know what I get up to. So my mum thinks I met everyone at camp. All of you that I've met that is. And it's all Earthy's fault.
:giggle:
If I'm going somewhere swingy for a weekend and have to tell them she always asks and who's that again? Oh that's so and so... from the camping lot. :mrgreen:
I'm at work.
I don't do the 9-5 thing very often (just got back home in the last hour, working some of the BH) and i'm away over night on occasion so nobody really asks if i need a cat sitter cos i'm 'at work' :twisted:
Hard for me to add to this as everyone I know already knows I'm on here, have to say the majority dont bat an eyelid, even my 17yr old daughter doesnt say much and che has met quite a few of my social friends.
We always say we are meeting old school friends, or friends from whwere the wife used to live
We were both in the Army and Mr F went to boarding school. It's amazing how many old friends we keep arranging to meet via Facebook. Only thing is that we have to remember which one we're meeting and when.
I have the nosiest mother and she has met a lot of my old Army friends. She will hint: "It would be great to see him/her again ... how long is he/she on leave?" to which I reply "Oh they're going back in the morning, maybe next time?"
I could do with some new excuses!!
A subject close to my heart. Only one person of significance is unaware of our lifestyle and the words "chat room social" are wearing a little thin. Only last week he said "bugger me don't you lot do enough chatting on line without having to travel all over the country". I am thinking of biting the bullet. Perhaps if I allude to our more esoteric tastes he will accept that we are part of that community and be too embarrassed to enquire further. If he does I will emphasise the kinky rather than sexual aspects of those tastes and we might just get beyond the moral outrage at the concept of people fucking strangers for fun. Its a slim hope but the only one I have.
for lying to them but even if I told them the truth they wouldn't believe us
