Meeting people from the internet is better than in real life, IMO.

When I go out to a bar w/ my friend, I have NO idea what any of these people are like.. because of that, I have almost no desire to talk with them.

At least with something like myspace.com, I can look at their profile and get a general idea of who they are and what they like. For example, started talking to someone who has IDENTICAL likes that I do - everything from zombie movies to music to TV shows.

Once you find something in common w/ someone like that, it seems like you always have something to talk about. Start talking in IMs, see how the person is... if you get along, ya go out and do something!

My girlfriend and I recently split up to take some time apart, but I met her in a Marilyn Manson chat room. We got along great from the first day we met - very in tune and connected w/ one another. Of course, we each had our own probs, but that's another story.

I think it's much better than talking to some random person in a bar. People often say, "Yeah, you never know what you're gonna get when meeting people online," but I think that's more realistic when meeting these random people in social situations!
