Exactly

Honestly I don't really have a problem with social media, it has positive and negative elements, just like, I don't know, every other thing in the universe ever.

For the BSNers that have met me irl, they know I'm exactly the same as I am on the internet tbh. All 7 of them told me they were surprised at how I'm not different at all.
Nothing wrong with social media, it's just something of the people. Sooooo srew 'em.

Yeah, I've met a lot of internet people over the years (just one BSNer, so I thought I'd expand it a bit!) and the vast majority are entirely as you'd expect them to be. Some are a bit quieter IRL, including me (at least until I have some drinks inside me!)

I'm actually quite a bit quieter in real life that I am online. Usually in groups I'll be the one who says very little - I don't particularly enjoy trying to shout over everyone else, and there is likely someone already in the group who "leads" the way. On the Internet I'm more willing to partake in the conversation and silliness, but I'm pretty selective with what I get involved with. I'm not a huge gamer, so it's not as easy for me to get involved with gaming discussions for example.

Haha, yeah, I'm often the spectator or audience in other conversations! I'll throw out the occasional irrelevant one-liner unless I get started on some meandering ramble about a random subject.

The other BSNer I met is also very quiet, so the conversation for the afternoon was pretty much:

"..."
"Hmm."
"Er..."
"..?"
"..."
"mmm."
"..."

etc.

I did noticed that about 3 of the 7 BSNers I met were a little more shy and quiet than on the web. But their personalities were the same and we had fun. Usually consists of having some drinks together, playing some games obviously and sight seeing. I always break the ice fairly quickly with jokes and asking about their trip/telling them about my trip. A decent conversation can usually start up from there and making them laugh really lightens the first few minutes of awkwardness. I'm just myself on both the forums and real life even though I don't try to be, I just am.

In a few months I'm meeting my 8th BSNer though.

I'm racking up on you guys tbh. ಠ_ಠ

I met my husband through social media. In fact, we were introduced through mutual friends on XBL (whilst playing Mass Effect 3 MP) and a few months later we met up in Paris for a few days. That was August 2012. In November I visited him in Georgia USA & he proposed. Six months later we were married in Georgia, followed by a ceremony here in the UK in August of 2013. Our daughter Natalie was born the following May and she's now coming up to a year old. 

Amazing how swiftly things can happen - especially when you are least expecting it. 

I think social media definitely has it's perks, but of course you have to be wary of the crazies who try to deceive you. I've met several like that and you can get yourself in a lot of bother. If you are going to engage in anything beyond small talk, you need to be certain about the person you are communicating with.

Or you can just jump in and hope for the best. I've met some really nice people from BSN especially, I don't regret meeting any of them and hope to meet most if not all of them again sometime.

Yeah, it happens! I also met my gf on "social media", as was: well, Usenet, which shows how long ago it happened! We actually met in person in 1999 and she still hasn't got rid of me yet. lol.

I met my GF on the BSN, isn't that weird?!!?!?

Actually no.
