Anyone else meet a real life pen pal on here?

I did! @exitseven wins the penpal award! Seriously. He is the bestest.
.
@mark987 and @bananathunder were among the first to PM me. Still great to talk to them today. 5 whole months later (they both knew me under my other account 😬).

Much love GaG friends! I would never, ever, intentionally leave you out.

  • not on here. im an introvert and have mild anxiety (i overthink a lot, im always tensed and nervous and i fret over stuff i dont have to worry about. I can easily talk to people online, but offline its difficult), i find it hard to make friends offline. There are only 2 people I talk to at school, and they're my best friends. i have a friend online. His name is Tim, and he's from Germany. We're planning to meet after covid is over.

    • I have anxiety too, hun. I can relate. ❤️

    • Being a pen pal is a little bit different. You can use e-mail of if you want to be really old school you can use a handwritten letter and stick it in an envelope, put a stamp on it and mail it. It might be good for somebody who has anxiety. You have total control up until the time you send it. You can say and edit anything you want and when you get a reply you can read it over a few times and find hidden things in it.

    • @exitseven has good advice. I used to send handwritten letters when I was your age. It wad fun! My mom even got me a sealing wax kit which was really fun to melt wax on the envelope and stick a design in it.

  • Pen pals? Haven’t heard that term forever!!
    I still talk to my friend who is no longer here, met almost 10 years now. And met him in real life and his brother.
    talk to a few others and Mr. older and wiser.
    and met my partner here.

    • I love this!

  • More than just a "pen-pal" and online things, like "dipping the tip, in the ink-well" figuratively, but on video chat, during COVID.
    A few other, wonderful ones, and we just chat though posts, or PMs; a few, offline, in private emails, with more freedom.

    • Dipping the tip in the ink well. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    • @loves2learn some of us still haven't found that true love, and sometimes, getting close enough, trusting enough, to dip it in the ink well, is good enough! LOL!! I actually prefer "Tasting the Honey Pot" myself. . .

    • Mmmhmmm. Indeed. I can understand that.

  • @midnightmoon05 and I have been corresponding and talking on the phone at least weekly for almost five years. There are others who I talk to but none as much as she and I talk.

    • Hi hi Mr.! Wow 5 years? Time flies!! I’ve been here forever... Maybe we can all meet in North Carolina. But might be a bit of a rush.

    • Not really a typer. I enjoy conversations over the phone but of course with like mined Individuals.

  • God 5 months already, time does fly lol.

    not met nope, it’s a bit of a swim lol

    • Mmmhmmm. Indeed, dear son.

  • Not on here but after having corresponded with my pen pal for 5 years that I met through a random website that I forgot the name of way back when I was 17 we eventually met after she immigrated to this country 2 years ago back in Summer of 2019. Was an interesting experience to come together.

  • I have never met anyone from here face to face, but there are two who I have talked to on Skype.

  • I've met a few people on here that I would consider actual friends like we've messaged a lot and talked on the phone but I'd never call them a pen pal though. That's like some old people stuff 😂

    • ouch.

    • 🤣🤣🤣 @exitseven guess we are officially old. Lmao

    • It's no joke. 😊😊😊😊

  • No, I have never met a pen pal. You seem like a fun-loving person with a great sense of humor! I’m not surprised a pen pal would want to meet you in person.
    There are a very small few that I’d meet, if the opportunity came.

    • Ha! So true!!!

  • penis pals maybe

    • Ummm, excuse me?

    • when it's late a slip of an i can be overlooked

    • 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  • Not yet but have a few in mind😉😉

    • Who.

  • Offline? Nope and don’t intend to.

  • I would visit too but there's a pond between us called the Atlantic Ocean 😄

    • That little thing? 🤣

    • I would swim across it for fitness but may die half way 😄

  • Nope never have. I don't know how I'd recognize them anyway tho

  • @Trista31 was my pen pal.. Until she pretended to die in an operation and then replied to my mail a year later..

    • Holy crap!

    • Wow, back from the grave. How cool is that.

    • @exitseven yeah.. I mean she told me she was getting sick... Around October 2019.. We exchanged long Emails on daily basis.. For months.. She worked in sales and wanted to open her tea shop with variety of tea's from around the world.. November she told me she is going for operation.. In December.. And there is very less chance of survival.. We talked a last few says.. I mailed her on day of operation and kept mailing her every week hoping she would respond but since she didn't responded for a months.. I thought she died.. I sent her a few more mails and stopped.. Almost a year later.. I was overwhelmed by feeling and wanted to say things to someone... And thought why not send it to her.. Assuming she is gone.. And she responded.. 😔
