How we met
As some know and some don't, Fae and I met online. In 1993. Before online dating. Before almost online ANYTHING.
We were playing a roleplaying game called a MUSH, it was based on the bestselling books by Anne McCaffrey called Dragonriders of Pern. We began roleplaying and talking OOC (out of character - there's a way to send messages to just that player) and enjoyed spending time together online. I was going to be leaving for the summer, so she asked for my phone number so we could talk on the phone.
That was February of 1993, and 15 years later, she still thinks I'm kind of cool 
Anyway, a post on MetroDad made me think about it. Go look, its a good article about transitioning from online to real life relationships.
