I will agree that sitting on GFY asking how to meet people offline probably isn't the best method.

Phone (IBM also had WATS which we'd go in after work and use
) but moreso, writing letters. You know, that thing folks did before the interweb? That's probably a girl thing. I can't remember a birthday or Christmas I didn't receive stationery, sealing wax, pens, etc.
I remember going to London as a Senior in HS and hanging out with my best friend from 2nd grade for a few days - we'd kept in touch (her father was the goalie for the short lived soccer team here in ATL in the 60's).
What was even cooler was when I moved back to ATL (where I had gone to 3 schools - kindergarten, elementary and 3 months in a private school before my Dad got transferred), then went to college in S. GA, I ran into kids I had gone to ATL schools with years earlier.
Understand my mother STILL talks/writes with friends SHE went to elementary school with - and she's moved a whole lot more than me. Probably something genetic - and a chick thing
