Well, that was interesting. My first time voice chat with a woman I met in VR. This was after swapping stories and links to each other's online work etc. My profile says I'm not looking for a relationship on that platform, she has a RL boyfriend, and she's a little under my dating age range anyway, so it's not like anything will come of this, but it's nice to have a friendship on there that's more than text-based. And who knows? Maybe I'll meet somebody else through this connection, or a similar scenario will present itself somewhere down the line. It's like a new world of possibilities has opened for me.
That being said, it's amazing how the right kind of person can come along and I show them things, namely creative stuff, that not even my family or RL friends get to see. It takes a certain set of factors for me to feel comfortable enough with someone to do that. At least outside of the silent, voiceless, anonymity of pseudonyms. It's not that I really have anything to hide, but I can be bashful about certain things. For reasons that would take several pages to explain. Suffice it to say, when I meet someone who is on a similar wavelength or into such things herself, I open right up... lol. I was beginning to doubt that I still had it in me. In a way, however, it puts me right back where I was 10 years ago. Do I really want to go there? In some ways, absolutely, but I want to take what I've learned in the meantime and do it better this time around.
But I digress...
Happy Easter!
