Not me. Terrible, scarring experience in college about 10 years ago. Scarred me for life. I will never touch an IM program ever again as long as I live.

Many moons ago, I was in college. This was the early days of the Interweb when we nerds got excited on the rare times we got 56k dial up speed. I was proud that I could get 14.4k most of the time at home, but had to dial up at night because my parents didn't want me tieing up the phone line. (Remember those good old days?) Anyway, I got AIM which was the premier messenger program at the time aside from ICQ. ICQ was just a number, not a logon name so AIM was making great strides.

Now, I'm in college and I'm 18-19 years old. Dumb as a box of rocks. Actually, there are probably boxes of rocks with higher IQs than me. Idiot would've been an improvement for me at that point in my life. I was not very smart and had the common sense God gave my basset hound.

Being an 18-19 year old male, all life scarring stories from that age require a girl and this one is no different. Her name was Chelsea. She was a blonde who was highly intelligent, quick as a whip, a social butterfly and drop dead gorgeous (at least to me). To say I was enamored would be an understatement. To this day I wonder if she was "the one", but that's another thread. I was madly in love as an 18-19 year old boy can be. Of course she did not feel the same way. She thought of me as a friend. I thought of her as a goddess. Lest I ruin what relationship I had, I didn't tell her how I felt. (Did I mention I was dumb as a box of rocks back then?)

So, one night I'm on my 14.4 kb dial up connection hoping my parents aren't expecting a phone call and I'm on AIM and I see that she's logged on. I start talking to her. "How are you?" "What did you think of that lecture today?" "Did you hear what so-and-so did?" And she's responding back. We're having a conversation. I'm happy. Finally I ask, "What are you doing for lunch tomorrow?" The response I get will be etched in my mind until I die, "This is Chelsea's mom. You'll have to ask her yourself." I immediately looked for a place to hang myself.

If I had a nickel for every time I was chatting with someone's parent unknowingly (Mostly because my friends' parents liked to screw with me, but still...) I'd be able to pay off most of my credit card debt.

..I fail to see how that's such a scarring experience? Where is the "bad" part in that story?....

Have you ever been an insecure 18-19 year old boy and hit on a girl on-line because you couldn't do it in real life and then found out you were hitting on her mom? Scarring.

He convinently left out the real details of the discovery. He did not find out it was her mom over IM. They met for lunch, suspiciously at Motel 6. Hulk was tricked, because she said she adored the donuts there. Being the lower-than-a-rock he is, he believed that.

He showed up there, and her mother quickly tied him up. He did not see the light of day for a week after. He endured ordeals no man should have to.

That's the truth of it. Sorry dude, but it had to be out in the open. You need to get over it.

Clearly bros before hoes means nothings to some people.

MakeShift Heart

Wow okay sure sad situation but instead of blaming the messenger..you should look at it more as a life lesson as in..before hitting on anyone check for webcam or something of that sort. Makes a BIG difference since you SEE who you are talking to.

Or yanno you could also try..going out in public and finding a girl the old fashioned way.

Hulk, you write really well

hulkamaniac

Aran

Yes, but was her mom hot too?

If you're truely lucky, the hoe becomes a bro

Flashback, I was 24, dating a woman who was 44. She was smoking. Her daughter was 19 and smoking as well. We went out on a double date. The daughters boyfriend was 27. I thought to myself sitting at the dinner table that my girlfriends daughters boyfriend is older than me. That was one strange feeling.

If you keep making excuses as to why you can't get a girl you're never going to get one.

Aran

Yeah, I'm a huge nerd and haven't been "single" since I was 16 for more than a few weeks total. It's all about giving things a chance.
