I agree with whateverist that cocktail convos can get a bit tedious or awkward or whatever.
If I knew some definite soccer fans, then I'd get together at a pub with them, like I used to do in Pittsburgh, PA, and watch some MLS or EPL or USNT.That way, when conversation dies out, we don't need to stare at one another awkwardly.
Actually, three of us from the forum did get together several times, starting about 4 1/2 years ago, and two of us still communicate. The other one and I ended up dating for a year and he broke my heart over a year ago, so I cut off contact with him. I have another very close friend from .com who lives in a... hostile country, so I'm not sure if we'll ever get to "meet".
C172- do you remember you were thinking about taking the train up to Cbad to my shop?
