Random people would just message you this out of the blue. When I was about 10 or 11 some girl did this and we figured out we lived two hours away from each other. We ended up talking and kept in touch for years. Eventually our family’s had planned a vacation to the same city at the same time and we met up in person finally and had a good time. It never turned into a relationship but we kept in touch until I was in my early twenties. It just seemed like a different world compared to the social networking of today. Things were more innocent and there was a lot more inherit trust between people online.
