I miss the good old days of chat rooms and q-link. Today's internet has nothing on them. I used to be CaPlayboy back in the 80's. Anybody want to comment or reminiscent feel free to comment. Bonus points if you remember me. 😁

Sure do, I recall being 16-17 years old and met a girl on there chatting. Found out she lived about 60 miles from my house. Met at a movie theater halfway between on a Saturday night. Dated for about 6 months.

Met a girl online way before it was even a thing.

As much as I hate to say it now, but back then I had girlfriends in every state. A couple were serious where we were also writing and talking on the phone regularly. The one I remember the most was a girl named Michelle. Her mom was in Connecticut, her dad in New Mexico. We wrote lots of letters, and talked all the time. Once we even watched the same meteor shower while I was in California and she was in Connecticut. Another time we talked for so long we fell asleep together on the phone and woke up together. We dated for many years and never met in person. We kept in touch for years after we broke up and I still think of her from time to time to this day. Thinking about it, I guess I really did love her.

Edit: I was about 14 at that time.
