I met my girlfriend on IRC, we've been living together for 7 years now. She was trolling people with goatse pics and we started talking about philosophy and poetry etc and then it turned out that she's a super cute canadian girl. This is usually not the story we tell people when they ask how we met.

A girlfriend that trolls people with goatse? lucky bastard

You'd never guess if you just met her, she's a 5'2 ballet dancer but she knows everything about various serial killers. People are complex, we have many sides.

That's the most crazy story i have read and the best one probably

Also, THIS is how you are supposed to meet people online not with dating apps, dating apps just suck and make you choose the most sexy "option" and maybe their interests maybe

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them

Hey no kink shaming in the guild!

Holy shit, I didn't think that was even possible. I can't let myself start thinking that's a possibility, I just can't. That could lead to disaster.

This is usually not the story we tell people when they ask how we met.

Honestly, it's a way better story than telling people you met on a dating app. And the ones that would be weirded out by the story are probably not people you'd want to spend a lot of time around
