My family and friends know I like video games and being a geek. Most of my friends are also in to geeky games so I wouldn't be ashamed if they knew I went on here.
I had an awkward moment at work though when one of my co-workers noticed the site and was like "that looks familiar...buncha nerds go on there huh". He is not about that life though so smurf him.
I tell people I met him on the Internet and if they ask if it was a dating site I say no, on a nerd forum. It's not really any of their business past Internet but I have some beef with online dating sites now for reasons so I don't want people to think that.
*Not me criticizing people who use them, I have a few particular reasons why I really don't like them but to each their own and I'm not going to judge :monster:
Emerald Aeris was an IRL friend got me into EoFFQuote:

Maintain a friendly relation with a few eoffers while Raistlin and I retain a pretty good friendship and Jiro is now a near by friend and Locky & Noodle Boy spread rumours of possibly visiting us up on the Sunshine Coast.
(SPOILER) I may seem unapproachable or disinterested but I am pretty easy going and like a good time and good people.
@pike The 3 or 4 people who know I met Tara on the Internet know that I'm only active on one nerd forum, so it's not a stretch for them to guess. But I don't tell anyone willingly that I'm a member of a Final Fantasy forum.
We've never met. O_o At least not in person anyway unless you were lurking behind me some where.Quote:

And she hated Daniel Towns. Hated him.
Buuut once Spiff and I got together, the two started to merge together, mostly. Some of my friends in school knew that I talked to people online, and I think they thought it was a bit odd but didn't really say anything against it. I mostly kept it private, though, because I didn't want to be judged. It just wasn't something that was common in the early and mid 2000's. Now, EoFF is all over my facebook, and my friends know that I have friends in "faraway places". Close friends know I met them online and sometimes I can see that acquaintances want to ask "how did you meet these people?" but they never do.
Oh god xD Guess the spreadsheets were just too much.Quote:

Because we were dating and he was a SCARY INTERNET FOREIGNER
Well, you were with Daniel Towns, the guy who shows off his wood to anyone who will pay attention to him and collects girls' hair. Her fears were clearly warranted.Quote:
