How to use "Encountered" in context?
Lynn has a therapist's appointment in a few minutes and she's feeling a little anxious. She opens her Facebook account and clicks on the "Meet New Friends" button on the right side of her homepage. She types "therapy" into the search bar and clicks on one of the connections that pops up. She adds "Lynn" to her friend list and clicks "Join Conversation."
It's a little strange talking to a stranger about her feelings, but Lynn enjoys the conversation. She learns that her new friend has gone through the same thing as her, and they set up a time to meet for coffee.
