[Deleted]

Has there ever been a G2G where someone was weird or set off someones creepo alarm?


Or someone drank too much or ended up being a bitch?


SPILL!!

Well, there was that one time I got really drunk and started hitting on all the MN ML'ers. Awkward! But it must not have bothered them too much since I keep getting invited back.

That's the REASON you keep getting invited! 

[walterismydog]

The ones I've been to have all been full of awkward.





Juuust kidding. Mine have all been fun experiences! My favorite was when zoidberg and I gtg for a race in New Mexico. It was a mud run and we had a great time! Plus she's a great hostess and it was fun to stay with her and her h for the weekend.

I went to a GTG last year. Knowing me, I was probably the weird one because I'm really shy and quiet when I first meet people.  That's probably why I haven't been invited since *-).  It felt cliquish to me too since this was my first one. I left early because it was getting really late and I found out that someone puked really bad.  

I had fun overall though.

I have always been too afraid to attend one.... I would be the story.

I used to do GTG with my friends from another site, they were BMs in my wedding and then *poof* fell off the face of the earth. It was wierd. I am * that* girl.

[VeryViolet]

CurlyQ284 had to hear me sing kids songs this weekend. That must have set off her creepo alarm.

[walterismydog]

Oh and also - twerking in the stands at a Rockies game with the denver girls. Seriously they must think I'm a total weirdo.

I certainly know how to embarrass myself! Haaa

When I met thinklikeajellyfish for the first time I pretty much made this face while walking past her



THEN i texted to ask if that was her I just walked by and gave the constipated smile to. 

SMOOTH MOVE, FUCKSTICK!


But then it was cool.

LOL! NO! It was part of the thing. But I will say I felt like a dummy. If we sit closer to the words Ill sing with you next time. I am SUPER impressed with your eagle eyes.

The first time I drove to laptop's house, she was outside and I got scared and drove away.

Also, after the GTGanzah, I made a giant, horrible ass of myself the whole next day.  I could not leave LTP's bathroom.  I googled 'am I going to be this way forever' non-ironically.

I think the huge Vegas GTG happened when I was pregnant and recently out of lurkdom so I didn't go. I wish there was another one, I want to meet everybody.

I've never been to a gtg, but I'm an all or nothing type of person. I always think it's weird that people travel so far just to go to dinner. Just so you know, if you gtg with me, I fully expect you to sleepover, stay for brunch and probably the rest of the day.

I will pack accordingly.

I, personally, have not had an awkward g2g, but I've heard some stories.

@quesera and gozf you are on my top list of people I want to G2G with.



I have not been to one yet. I am always curious how people translate to real life.

This is what's crazy. That was a big gtg and people were all 'dinner was good. Saw Stella's at the pool for a minute'

What? No stories??

I think there was a little "what happened in vegas stays in vegas". I *think* I remember someone hinting at some drama but i could be wrong.

[Marle]

The first ML FL gtg was a blast. I probably shouldn't have driven though.

I felt awkward when I met laptop but because I was so out of my element. I was BFing and had to pump a couple of times and I was really nervous to meet her. I also felt like the frumpiest person of the group. Nothing fit right.

I remember this as well.

[wambam]

I had one sort of awkward G2G with an internet friend (not from here). I was meeting my three best internet friends and it was awesome. It was like we'd never been apart! And we decided to also meet these other two girls from the same group that we weren't as close with. And we had NOTHING to talk about. There was a very obvious division between "us" and them".

Sorry, that story was not exciting.

 Ok so here's the itinerary:

Day 1: Bake penis shaped cookies then balloon volleyball
Day 2: Alan Rickman movie fest
Day 3: Blanket fort building and braiding each others' hair

I would drive to your house in the night and draw dicks in chalk all over your driveway  (heart)

Now that we're FB friends, I expect this to happen.

Don't forget the bonfire and s'mores!! Maybe a pillow fight, I don't know if we'll have time.

Guess I'll have to stay another day!

If no one drinks too much the GTG was not a success.

I went to several GTGs when I posted on the knot and in my experience there were no awkward GTGs, just awkward people. But it usually wasn't surprising who turned out to be awkward and who turned out normal.

[thejen626]

Yes! On my local board there was a weird girl who started posting...she had just moved here from a rural area, she had like 3 dogs, 5 cats, bunnies, and big snakes. Everything she posted was just so strange. Anyway she came to a gtg at a park, many of us had our kids there, no one wanted to sit next to her, and then she was sooooo strange the whole time.

Another one, also my local board, we had made the details very public, and this random lurker just showed up. She was very gothic looking, long black hair, looked like a Metallica extra from the 80's. She literally just stood there, staring at everyone. I felt like she was going to pull out a gun and start shooting. She was so scary! My older daughter was a few months old, and they made eye contact and my baby started crying we left shortly after because I just couldn't handle the awkwardness.

I've never had what I would call an *awkward* gtg (from here or with other internet friends) but I've definitely been surprised on who I end up clicking with best IRL - it's not always who I would have expected.

So you and evee will end up being bff's, no?

My first GTG was a cookie swap at a nesties house. It was too cliquish. Otherwise it was fine. Made a couple friends from it but I don't think they post here.

Sorry you felt this way

i be typing from me phone. typos and grammer dont count.

[Kore]

If any GTGs I attend are awkward, it'll be my fault. I'm awkward.

I've been fortunate. As nervous as I get beforehand, I've met some of my best friends here. I flew to Denver to meet @gypsy, and shared a bed with swizzlestx.

This sounds like some kind of social expierement she was doing to y'all. And scary as fuck.
