Meet-ups: Etiquette?

I've never met anyone from BDW. I have spoken to a couple girls by phone and let me tell you I was nervous. I'm not nervous about meeting new people or that they will suck. LOL. I'm more nervous that people won't "get me". I tend to be very sarcastic and I forget that some people don't get that and might actually think I am being serious.

 

When Alyssa and I first spoke on the phone we hit it off and we even had a discussion about how sometimes you forget that people on the forum are from other parts of the country/world.

 

The good thing about meet-ups is that most of the girls/guys are from the same area so there are "cultural" similarities. Like Jason and I could discuss our hatred for the Red Socks and instantly click.

 

But I would be nervous to meet a southern girl b/c I feel like my loud NY personality would offend her. LOL.

i agree 100%!!!!!

This is part of my problem. Most people don't "get me" and probably more than half the people I meet think I'm a super bitch among other things. I can't help it! I just say random sarcastic things and don't think about it before I let them slide out of my mouth. And the stuff I say that isn't sarcastic is probably just plain weird. I also get the raised eyebrows when I talk.



And Carly, i'm sort of like you in a lot of ways too. I'm touchy feely with the people I'm close to. Everyone else, I'm basically like "pay attention to the invisible box surrounding me and do not touch me."

Glenda, Jessica, and Lauren,

I know I would love to meet you guys....I think we would all get a long well.

Geesh I think I need to go to New York

I heart NYC, can I come?

New York June 7th we will see you there girls, right!!!!!

I know of a group of us no matter what part of the world we come from that could get in to some trouble together, I have my dream list of bdw girls (and Jason) that I would like to meet up with, and yes Jessica, bitch or not your on it:)
