I've also met friends from chat rooms and various forums over the years. </p> <p>I still use the Internet a lot to meet new people. I once hosted a hula hoop get together for six ladies that answered a craigslist ad about hula hooping and I've also used Craigslist to meet friends to just hang out with. </p> <p>Ive met maybe 15 people or so off the internet and I haven't had a bad experience yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-people-from-the-internet/page/2#post-257437 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 18:12:35 +0000 KT326 257437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Thanks! I remember when we first started dating we would tell people we met at Starbucks because they didn't understand/or were weirded out by the fact that we met online. Now so many people meet their SO's online it isn't such a foreign concept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-people-from-the-internet/page/2#post-257433 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 18:03:18 +0000 anonysquire 257433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetkate: Awwww!

Not as organic. Maybe I've just grown up.<br /> I would love to meet some of the girls from here too, if there was ever a meetup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-people-from-the-internet#post-257189 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:48:16 +0000 anonysquire 257189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: lol!

I feel like it would be hard to delete the account where you met your husband. Although my Facebook got deleted so I guess it isn't too horrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-people-from-the-internet#post-257185 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:46:09 +0000 Adira 257185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Mine was the same way!!!
