when i was in jr. high we got a computer with dial up internet LOL. i was not allowed to go into chatrooms or anything. i couldn't have an aol screen name till i was in high school and even then i only went into chatrooms with my big brother. we would go tell jokes LOL. i met a boy in a chat room and we got to talking. he lived like 2 hours away. my parents agreed to take me to meet him and his parents. i was kinda upset that he looked totally different in person than in his pictures. that being said i have mixed feelings about internet dating. my brother met his wife in an aol chatroom. they were married 3 months later. that was the dumbest thing he's done.. and he even put his knee through a spinkler LOL. the first time i tried internet dating again, a friend and i went to the yardhouse to get a few drinks.. he said he'd meet us there. 3 hours later he shows up, gets his own table then isn't even gentlemen enough to come get us. we left. then he text me an hour after we left and said where are you? i said at home with my pjs on watching a movie. he said wow that was rude. i said nope you were rude now lose my number. the second time i tried i posted my story about how he asked me to pay for half the date, knowing that i am unemployed. then tried to take a nap on my couch at 2:30 am! NOPE i am not stupid. i made him leave. i told him to lose my number too. i think there is a reason why some people try internet dating. i give up on it.
but my parents always monitered. i'm 22 and my mom still does! she has a facebook too and reads all my posts and stuff. even if my family wasn't on facebook, i still couldn't post risky pics of myself like some teenage girls do. some are asking to be raped. it's sad really. i wish those moms would moniter their children more cuz it's sad. did anyone ever watch to catch a preditor? i loved that show. the men were so dumn founded and it scared me too!!
