I was 20...

...and someone showed me B3TA and that was the beginning of the end.
I'd been to chat rooms in the past but wasn't very taken in so much so I created a new person, someone whose life was travelling along a path I wouldn't have minded mine travelling along. She was married and she was expecting a baby.
The problem with B3ta is that most of the people were genuinely nice. So much so meeting were organised for regional groups. I went along to 2 of these and met some wonderful people but the all believed I was married with a baby.
Instead here I am, 27, never had a boyfriend, still living with her parents and practically failed her degree because instead of revision or writing dissertations she would chat til 2am on the net. I also missed out on the whole university life that's supposed to be party party party. I'm not good with people anyway, I'm very shy until I get to know you so party has never really been my thing but I wasted my life on the net...and I'm still here.
I once decided that since the net has killed my social life and I don't really have any friends...at least none who invite me when they go out, I would use the net to find a boyfriend. I went on 2 dates via match.com first one was a child, he was just so young I couldn't get past it. 2nd one I really made an effort, I asked him questions, I referred back to conversations we'd had on line and all I got was one word answers. Obviously I wasn't what he expected so I went home fed up with it all. The bloke did try to keep in contact on line but basically who wants to go out with someone who can't communicate except on line...I'm living proof that that's the case.

I feel blue...how does someone meet someone in real life?
