After chatting with someone, have you ever decided to meet in person? If so, how was the experience? Do you still keep in touch? You may have met for reasons other than romantic ones… Any negative experiences?

Many times. I never had any negative experiences. I found more interesting and nice people than I could have found in real life. Ofcourse there is a risk of knowing their reality which is normally other than what they claim to be online.

Good one–I met my upline for one of my D.S. businesses.
Bad one–met a guy who sounded great, turned out to be a controlling, mean guy that was hard to get away from after meeting.

Met een paar mensen. Sommigen waren geweldig. Sommigen waren het niet. Bijna een van hen trouwt, maar dat werkte niet uitgesloten. Ik blijf in contact met de mensen die ik waardeer, en blijf weg van die heb ik niet.
November 21st, 2008 at 8:17 am
yep.. met in TGI FRIDAYS.. mid day with no expectations.Things went well we are cool. We were playing cards together online…
November 24th, 2008 at 4:52 am
Ja, een ontmoeting gehad met een vrouw ongeveer 10 jaar geleden via AOL. Had wilde, gepassioneerde weekend gedurende ongeveer een maand gerealiseerd, maar het was niet van plan uit te werken. Gestopt dating kort daarna. Voor zover ik weet, geen slechte gevoelens aan beide zijden.

I met a good portion of my old EverQuest guild. Was great, we went out to eat and had a great time. We don’t keep in touch so much since I stopped playing the game but it was well worth the trip.
(Hail, Protectors of the Five! Hope life is treating you well)

Persoonlijk heb ik nog nooit gedaan. Mijn oom heeft, en hij ging naar Canada om te voldoen aan haar en 2 jaar later trouwde hij met haar in Las Vagas! Ze is een geweldige dame en de hele familie is blij voor hen. Ik zorg ervoor dat hij / zij is voor de reële en niet alleen een paar onzin kont poging om een kick op uw rekening!
December 2nd, 2008 at 3:32 pm
ja … goede vrienden voor een groot aantal jaren met een paar van hen …. het is beter wanneer u zich niet aan voor romantiek …. het is onmogelijk voor iemand om te voldoen aan wat je hebt bedacht in je verbeelding ….
December 5th, 2008 at 12:37 am
I have not but my friend did and they have lived together now for a year. My cousin met a girl on-line and were toghether for a year and then broke up. It just depends. I don’t think there is anything wrong with finding love on-line. It’s 2006!
December 5th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
dito älter und klüger, traf und heiratete und nun wieder online HES-Sitzung eine andere Frau. nur herausgefunden. : (
December 7th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
yeah.. some become good friends & some turn out to be losers.. just like day-to-day meeting people anywhere!
December 10th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Ik heb al gepraat met heel wat mensen via het internet, sommige goed en sommige waren niet zo goed. Wees voorzichtig wanneer u ontmoet. Doe het in een openbare ruimte te bewaren en een notitie ergens waar je woont, dat is te zien wie je bent, waar, wanneer, en hun contactgegevens, voor het geval er iets misgaat. De negatieve ervaringen heb ik begrepen heb de man meer dan verwacht was. Maar anderen waren aardig.
December 11th, 2008 at 1:36 am
Je zult merken dat sommige mensen minder dan oprecht te zijn over wat ze eruit zien en andere zaken. En vrouwen moet nooit, nooit, ontmoet iemand, behalve in een openbare plaats en met kennis van de jongen's echte naam, telefoonnummer en adres, en het verlaten van die informatie met een vriendin (het ergste verwachten).
December 13th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Ik heb een ontmoeting gehad met een paar mensen online zijn en voor het grootste deel als ze zijn cool. Echter, ik zou suggereren praat met hem / haar een tijdje vóór de vergadering. Ik heb een paar vrienden die ik nog nooit hebt ontmoet in persoon en we zijn redelijk dichtbij. Ik ging uit op een date met een van de jongens en het was echt verschrikkelijk, dus ik stel voor dat je echt scherm en hen leren kennen ze eerst:) Ik hoop dat dit helpt
December 14th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
yep!
in high school i started talking to this guy on-line and we even talked on the phone a few times…kind of funny.
my first year in college he was passing through my area, so he stopped for a visit.
it was VERY odd.
we had an o.k. time, but it was much better to have that anonymous person at the computer screen.
i think he does some kind of financial stuff in New York, now.
we don’t keep in touch.
EDIT:
i just read an answer about someone meeting up with a group from the net.
there was an on-line fan club that came to my town once and they were a RIOT!!!
my friends and i went to a karaoke lounge at a local Sheraton hotel and all these rowdy women were there from a Nora Robert’s (best-selling writer) on-line fan club!
Nora lives close to my town and that’s why they were there.
they were having sooooo much fun together! it made me want to join their club!

I have met Many people from meeting them first in a chat room or in a pm. Most all of these experiences have been good.
The people I have met as friends, some have become my Best friends; I am sending this message from my laptop , while I am spending the week in West Palm Beach with my best friend of 2 yrs, I met in a chat room originally.
7 of us are close- get together every few mos, for weekends, etc.
35 of us have met for a huge campout, and had a ball.
The important thing is if you meet someone, to meet for a date, to have chatted a good long time, talked on the phone a few times, after feeling something good may come of it, and to meet on YOUR turf, in a public place, aka a restaurant.
December 18th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
I have several times, I am always careful and meet in a public place. I have not had any bad experiences yet.
I have met people on line for several reasons, romantic, finding a new home for my pet when I moved, Lots of reasons.
December 20th, 2008 at 6:01 am
Ja ik heb en heb een te gekke vriend die manier .. Ik heb ook een slechte ervaring gehad vergadering iemand .. U kunt het beste als u overweegt vergadering iemand uit het net, is te voldoen aan hen in een openbare plaats tijdens de dag .. en zijn het niet eens met uw persoonlijke gegevens met hen. totdat u besluit dat u 'weten' of ze vertrouwen. Succes met je .. Vrede!
December 21st, 2008 at 4:52 pm
yes i have met people off here and like people say have someone go with you the first time because you never know!! I have flown from 1 coast to another and met some one i was with them for couple of years! so i say try it what do you have to loose !! Remember meet where there is a lot of people..
December 21st, 2008 at 7:48 pm
The answer is yes. I’ve met people from on-line and I’ve yet to have a bad experience. Couple of people I’ve met from on-line have become very, very good friends. No romantic involvements there. The couple of experiences I’ve had with men I’ve met on-line weren’t necessarily bad, but they just didn’t work out – no different in my option than if I met them 1st in person.
December 25th, 2008 at 2:14 am
oh boy, i’d be here all day. I’ll give you a good and bad. that way I keep it kinda short. Ok starting off with the good. Yes I’ve met someone whom I spoke to all the time online and on the phone. We finally met after some time of this and things went great for mths. But the long distance will seriouly make things kinda hard. eventually we broke it off and some how kept in touch over the yrs. We tried again and again at it but I got tired of the sh*t that came with it. He was a great guy but with serious trust issues cause of this thing. And the Bad well thought I had found a great friend to talk to. We talk for months I thought I had seen pics and all oooooooooh no. When it came to finally meeting face to face it was so the wrong ideal I had in mind. Needless to say I changed my addy and my phone number all of it cause it just was a big fake. There is always good and bad on here just have to know and try to know what is what when you can.
December 27th, 2008 at 4:27 am
Oh absolutely…we met online at tickle.com. We talked for awhile on the phone, then decided to meet. He was actually a really good man who I spent two wonderful years with. He was great with my daughter. He took her to the parks in downtown DC, museums, flying kites, etc. But, after awhile, we grew apart because we wanted to go in different directions. I’ve found that it wasn’t that different than if I met him at a bar or through a friend. I didn’t have a bad experience at all, but I haven’t found anyone else online since. I’d rather see you first, then make my decision based on that.
December 29th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I met him and married him, the best thing that ever happened to me, well except for the birth of my children.
I have also met many people through a fan group for a Broadway writer. I was fun finally getting to put faces with names. I still keep in touch with some of them.
I always make sure that we meet in a very public place, that I have my cell phone with me and that other people in my life know that I am going and where and who I am meeting.
So far I have never had a bad experience, guess I have been lucky.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Many. And only after some e-mailing, and some phone calls and only in a public place for several dates. Found the guy I have been with for more that a year. The computer did all of the sorting. We are perfect for each other — educated, bright, witty, $$ no problem, both divorced, both same religion, politics same, neither of us wanted children yadayadayada…… nice. Go for it. And how do you do that? If you are not attractive, learn how to put on make-up if you are a gal… in any case,have a great photo taken. If you are too heavy, diet and exercise. If your teeth are a mess, spend some $$$ and have a drop dead smile. Your age is unimportant — you can be 30 and look like hell, and 60 and be drop dead gorgeous. If you wish to meet that special person in your life, it takes committment.

yeah
i met someone accidentally , we were talking on-line from time to time , then we used to be on-line every day !
we were really a good friends , he had his life & i had mine !
then once he asked me what about to meet ? so i agreed .. i said why not we are a good friends ..
so we started the next step ( meeting ) !
we kept meeting really as only friends he liked my mind & i liked his mind ..
once when we met as usual he asked me : do u think we will be able to continue as husband & wife ??
then we gave each other a chance to know each other well & to see if really we will be able to marry !
& now we are married since 4 years & we are both happy with our choice !
January 4th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
For bout months but think wait lil longer and thats it in public place so that theres other people around so that hes not some kind of weirdostalker but have known him but think wait lil longer and find out more bout him now for bout months.
January 5th, 2009 at 10:47 am
Never ment for the simple fact that most people are not really what they claim to be. I know that I would never want to meet someone charged with CSC.
January 8th, 2009 at 12:59 am
i keep my on-line relationships on-line only. it’s just tidier that way.
