Virginia merman saying hi!

[Natametfin]

Hi everyone my name is Nate but I’m used to being called Nata so much so it gonna be my mersona name. I don’t own a tail yet but I hope to within the coming year! I’m kinda nervous about my first swim cause I don’t know any local pools that allow it. I’m also afraid of ridicule but water is my temple so I don’t care! I’m moving to Norfolk in a year or two so any mermaids or mermen around there would be nice to know. My end goal is to be a marine biologist by day and merman performer by night:) oh btw current location is near Bristol va so the middle of nowhere

Welcome to the MerNetwork

[Natametfin]

Nice to meet you too

[Natametfin]

I do have a question how is dating as a merman like I’m so afraid to tell girls I do this for fun. They are always like it’s girly even though I don’t think that any advice

[TybeeMermaid]

Welcome! I'm from Virginia too!

[Natametfin]

Oh wow another Virginia mer I’m gonna be moving to Norfolk for school maybe we could meet up and swim

[Natametfin]

I have bad public anxiety and being able swim with another mer might help was all didn’t want to seem creepy

Haha no worries! I only live in Virginia over the summer since I go to school in Georgia for most of the year. But I do know a ton of other mers that live in Norfolk area. Are you apart of the Chesapeake Pod page on Facebook?

[Natametfin]

No not yet. I should look into that but I’ve looked at threads and there is like ZERO mers near me atm you bound to have heard of Bristol right? Oh btw can I send a friend request

[Mermaid Kane]

Ah! Welcome! I love the number of mermen that are joining the fun.

[Slim]

Can we blame that uprise of the mermen on me? I'd like to think I'm just that awesome. She right though, I'm glad more of us mermen are shifting the tides of the seas by coming out of our caves.

Just be you. It either they accept you or they don't. There are plenty of fishes in the sea.

Hey welcome to MerNetwork :D

[Mermaid Whisper]

Welcome to the waters! I’m in Virginia as well, though fairly far north! It would take me the same time to drive to Bristol as it would to travel back to my hometown of Brick, NJ :P

Of course! And there is also a member map that you can use to look for mers near you. [link] (http://mernetwork.com/index/dcMembermap.php)

I'd actually argue that at least 30-40% of the recent newbies are mermen. Its amazing!

A pleasure to meet you! Welcome to the community! Just be you and the right people will swim your way.

Same, man. I’d love to hang out but it’d be quite a bit of a drive.

Welcome to MerNetwork, Nata! All the best getting opportunities to swim; there're several threads that talk about mermen and their acceptance in more detail as well. Hope you find it useful!
