Ummm, what are we supposed to tell people?

I was telling some of my coworkers that a group of my "friends" and I are starting a get fit group and that we are going to meet for walks. I didn't want to tell the people I work with that I'm meeting people online or that the people I know from here are people I met online. But I don't really want to lie either...I suck at lying! So what are you ladies in the wellness group going to tell other people? Should I just tell the truth? In today's day and age, it's really not that strange to meet people online...heck, I met DH online almost 9 years ago  Smile

Re: Ummm, what are we supposed to tell people?

  • I plan on telling the truth... I also met DH online over 7 years ago!
  • I was telling my mom how we met at Mickey D's with the kiddos last week and she was all "well make sure you always meet them in public..." LOL! I was like" Mom, we all know each other pretty well by now!"
  • LOL- Cute! Yeah, we've known each other for at least 4 years now. It was definitely before I had DS1. Right?
  • I think we met right after you had DS1. He might have been a few weeks old...I remember it was one of your first times out without him. Maybe you met one or a few of the other girls from the board before me though?
  • I met H online too! I feel kind of strange saying I am meeting up with internet friends too. If someone asks besides H I would probably just tell them they are friends of a friend.

  • On another thought.. I feel more strange since I don't know what any of you look like. When I go to meet everyone I have no idea what I am looking for. I can see myself now walking up to a strange woman and asking if they are so and so on thenest and then looking at me all funny and saying "huh?".

    :giggle: If you do, you must tell us the story! hehe

  • Ha!  I tell people that I am meeting my online mommy friends.....well now there are non mommy types, but it is not at all weird to have online friends.

    I met Sabrina and Lindsay before we were all married and then I met mrs  and stacie (anyone else that night) for dinner when ds1 was a few months old (they put butter on your tatos when you specified dairy free), and then there was a pottery painting afternoon with mrs, amber, crystal.

    YES! I remember that now, at Bennigans. I was so pissed when they put that butter on my potatoes. lol... I blame it on new mommy hormones.
