If you’re anything like me, you are probably tired of trying to meet people locally. It seems like everywhere I go, the people I see already have their friend circles and aren’t interested in welcoming ‘strangers’ or newbies to the group. Don’t get me wrong; I’ve tried. I’ve gone to local meetups and social events and met some really nice people but none that had welcomed me with open arms to come hang out with them and their friends. So like any smart, technologically-savvy person would do, I turned to Facebook. I mean, I’d heard that it’s pretty common to have a relationship on Facebook so maybe it would work for me. And work it did. I started out by signing up for several Facebook groups that I knew I had an interest in. I like geocaching and stuff like that so I found a group dedicated solely to the subject (among others) in my state and made it a point to become very active on it. I met plenty of people there and it was great because, right off the bat, I knew I had something in common with the other people in the group. Before too long, I had been having lots of back-and-forth posts—and even some private messages—with this girl I found interesting. After a month or so of this, we agreed to meet up to go—what else?—geocaching! We had a great time and have gone on a few more adventures together since then. We’re dating though it’s not yet anything serious. Who knows if it’ll go that route but even if it doesn’t, one thing I realized is that it is more than possible to use Facebook in a relationship. Whoever says relationships and Facebook aren’t compatible doesn’t know what they’re talking about. I’m living proof that they are possible and they can take whatever form you’d like them to.
