Building friend catchers

I've been in multiple communities under a fake name. Every birthdate I entered online is always 01-01-1970. I don't think you were being rebellious, you were the complete opposite!

I've met people IRL from Finland, Lebanon, South Africa, basically all over the world, who I met online. Sometimes I would introduce my real name only when we met IRL.

Not using my real name has not held me back from meeting new people, online or IRL.

Funny one. I've met IRL a guy who I've been playing Minecraft with on a private server for years recently.

I was driving near his area so I took a detour, visited him home and we chatted for like an hour.

We totally forgot to exchange real names :)
