Hello
« on: April 07, 2004, 11:33:40 PM »
Hello, My name is Kellie,I'm the 27 yr old single mom to two girls (ages 2 and 4).We have come through a difficult situation with my abusive ex (the girls father) and I'm hoping an opportunity is about to open up for us to move to the UK and start a new life.I hope to meet new friends here to help me along the way.

I have an embarrassing question.I noticed that some of you met your future spouses online.Could you tell me where?I'm not looking for marriage but friendship yet meeting people online scares me to death because I don't know what sites are safe and thought someone here could tell me. :-[

Hiya westwoodkellie and welcome.  Great to hear that you made it out of a bad realtionship.  I can't begin to tell you where to go online to meet guys, but can offer one huge word of advice: met in public or in groups.  I'm sure those that have been there can give you some ideas of what sites they used though many just happened to be on sites of others that had similar interests. If it's friendship you are looking for then it is fairly easy as many sites have get to gethers to include this one.  

Best of luck!  I hope the chance works out for you to move.  It is always an adventure!

Hi Kellie, this is a great site and I'm sure you'll find lots of useful tips on it. I think there are several good online sites for meeting people so good luck there! Good luck!  :)

Welcome Kellie! ;D

Glad you made it through your difficult times and that things continue to get better for you and your family.

I couldn't really say where is the best place to look for people online aside from join some email groups of things that interest you. I met mine on a list for a band we both love (actually we were both on lists for 3 bands that we liked!). That list has now migrated to being based on Yahoo. I would suggest looking through their Groups of things that interest you...music, gardening, art, etc.  Join a few and start getting to know people.  http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/  Just a thought, instead of going through the obvious penpal type sites (which I personally wouldn't trust but that's just me).

Best of luck!!  :D

 Hiya Kellie and welcome to UKY.I met my husband online as well.It was through a UKYahoo chat room,but I know as a few people have mentioned already you can meet others through chat rooms,certain genre groups etc....

 I think like Vnice said,just be safe and use good judgement.There are too many nuttters online not to! :o

 Glad you found us,and this is a wonderful place to make friends.

I dont think it is the site that matters as much as how you go about it. Talk to the person for a long period of time first...speak to them on the phone in addition to online and finally meet in public. I have met many wonderful people from online (met originally in yahoo chat) but the one time I didnt follow these basic rules I met a real jerk. Most of all be willing to trust your gut..and take your time.
Hope that helps some....and Welcome by the way :)
