Know one poster from real life...

Hehe, I started posting here about two years ago when I was going out with an OM. We have recently broken up, so I don't come here often. Anyway, I was browsing this website the other day, and realized one of the posters from my city also works at an office I temped at for six weeks in September.

Small world eh? I figured it out and confirmed it with a photo posted on one of the threads. You never know who you can run into here!

I wonder if I should PM the poster?

Probably not, but it would be a surprise. Lots of personal details get posted here....

Well I think it would be cool if it turned out I knew someone irl from here... but I know its not me :( cuz I've never worked in BC

If someone knew me irl here I would have loved for them to contact me. But then again I'm not a very privat person.. the things I say here is commen knoweldge to everyone I know irl :P

I would say, it depends on their threads. If they seem to be confident and secure in their relationship go ahead and PM them.

But....if they are upset and troubled by issues regarding the relationship I would respect their space and not PM them. Sometimes the ability to post about real life issues here is the only link some people have to understanding.

Personally, I hold back some details about me because this is a safe place for me. Having people that I associate with at work reading my posts would kind of bother me unless they were people I was comfortable with. Then again, I'm in an industry where the gossip mill almost dictates how far your career will go, lol. :D

I would want to know and would appreciate a PM.

I think the only way you'll know how they'd feel about it is to just go ahead and PM them. It's really a private matter between the two of you, but still kind of cool that in this great big world, 2 people from one website worked in the same office for a while.
