Me and somebody i talk to online decided to meet (totally randomly) a few months back.

We now see each other frequently - very much worth it! :smile:

Ive been talking to someone for over a year now online. We know each other inside out, know everything about each other relate to each other etc. Theyre basically one of my best friends. Weve never spoken on the phone or met up though.

Do you think we have left it to long to meet? We discuss it, and both of us admit the thought just scares the crap out of each other. Im a very shy person in real life and never have much to say, which is why I find it much easier online where I can be more like the real 'me'.

It would be awful if we met up and it was awkward and we didnt know what to say and didnt get on. I get nervous visiting family members for gods sake.

Has anyone been in a similar boat? Met someone youve been talking to for ages?

(by the way were not meeting to ''get it on'' or anything like that)

I met someone I'd been talking to for a few months, wasn't very attractive etc lol. It was good for getting me out of my shell, losing my virginity lol etc...

There are other girls who were truly beautiful that I would have liked to have met but lived over in America. I ended up stopping talking to them though...

I prefer the internet too, because I don't like being around people, it makes me nervous or something. If you really want to, meet the person. Force yourself. Once you get there and meet them you'll enjoy it. It's just the anxiety of the build up. Try not to have any preconceived ideas and it will be cool.

Good luck.

I've met a few of my online friends, most from TSR actually, and never had any problems. 1 guy was a jerk though, but he was a jerk on TSR, and I met him by coincidence (both on TSR in the computer room at uni next to each other!).

The horror stories you hear are a good warning, and you should let a load of your friends know that you are going to meet someone and set a time that you'll text them or whatever to make sure you're okay cos otherwise you could be in trouble.

I know of 1 guy who met his "online girlfriend" and she was a frickin psycho! He told her a blonde joke, laughing at it cos they were both blonde, him moreso than her, and she stamped on his foot with stillettos, went right in his foot and he now limps!! :eek:

I've met people I knew online in person and it did me no harm. Many are fellow TSR users at the University of London etc. :cool:

I've met some of my best friends online actually. I have met all of them in real life by now (except for one or two) and there have never been any bad surprises! One of them is from Canada, we talked online for about 1 1/2 years, talked on the phone and exchanged pics and then I went over there to meet her. I mean, it was Canada !! lol You'd think that's taking quite a risk, but I never doubted she'd be who she said she was and I was right :p:

It really depends on where you meet them, too. Whether it was a chat room, a flirty website or a message board related to some band or tv show or something ....

Try talking on the phone first. A year not meeting isn't very long... :smile:

I mean, you guys should only meet when both sides are comfortable with it.
