This week's Friday Five:
- Nowadays, just about everyone knows a couple who first met online. Among couples you know, who has the best story? My friend, Laura, met her first boyfriend online. They ended up going out for five years before breaking up last year. But I think that's the only couple I ever knew in real life that met online. I mean, I know plenty of people that have done the online dating thing, maybe went on a few dates, but it never ended up in a relationship.
- Who among your real-life acquaintances might you never have been friends with if you hadn't gotten to know each other online first? Sydney!
- Of people you know online only, who would you most like to meet in real life? Mary, Heather, Ambrosia, and Christine. Realistically, Mary is probably the only one I would actually ever meet, since we live in the same city!
- In the past 365 days, what's the longest you’ve gone without connecting in any way to the Internet, including email? Um... maybe five hours? Even when I'm not at my laptop or my Internet is down at home, I have my iPhone with me at all times, so I always have access to e-mail or the Web in general.
- Who is the least-connected person you know in real life? My grandparents.
