It will be nice to throw caution to the wind for a change and embrace new friendships that have an established common ground.<br /><br />Hhm, that false sense of security with old friends, sorry to hear about that.... hope those two glasses of wine helped to dull the shock. ;)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-91873085081760533752016-04-18T21:26:38.937-04:002016-04-18T21:26:38.937-04:00It could have been a less direct way, I guess.

I don't think it was intended to hurt or anything like that (and really I was more shocked than hurt), but it was inappropriate. <br /><br />St. Louis is a great city and someday when you visit, you'll love it! This was my second time visiting, and both times I was struck by the friendliness of everyone that I met. I think you're right about liking a person's writing usually means that you will like them in real life too. Hopefully you and I will meet one day to test out that theory.

Then, I wondered if it was a less direct (but no less rude) way of asking about children.<br /><br />Glad you had a good experience meeting Justine. I've found - having met maybe 15 or so bloggers or internet friends - that if you like someone's voice online, you'll generally like them in real life too. I want to go to St Louis, so I'm a bit jealous. I have two long time blogging friends (non-IF)from there too.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-38991650574921271842016-04-18T18:06:50.357-04:002016-04-18T18:06:50.357-04:00I'm so glad you had the positive experience to...I'm so glad you had the positive experience to balance things out. If I may suggest a career change, I found that my fellow physicists never talked about their private lives at conferences (assuming they even had one)! Seriously though, I think it's a slow process to learn where and with whom you do and do not feel truly safe and comfortable. And as you say, the results are often very surprising. But it's important work to keep doing and I commend you for reflecting on and writing about these experiences for your own benefit and for others'.<br /><br />Naomi M<br /><br />XAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-53854011828770672382016-04-18T17:39:13.454-04:002016-04-18T17:39:13.454-04:00I am sooooo glad we got to finally meet in person ...I am sooooo glad we got to finally meet in person and have a great lunch outside with our glass of red wine, just being ourselves!

My experience was the same as yours - I had nothing to worry about. Everything was just perfect.<br />btw: can't wait to meet you one day!<br /><br />Sorry for having to hear such a rude question. I am glad it didn't ruin the day.<br /><br />xoxoKlarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028863974858724867noreply@blogger.com
