Meeting people from online?

Hey,

Has anyone met others from online? I have met some people from TSR and they are amazing people who I value a lot but has anyone met others from other websites? I am in need of increasing my social circle and meeting people from online seems the best idea for now. Any advice of any websites people have used etc would be helpful

Thank you :smile:

I've made alot of friends from the gaming community. If you're interested in games then participating in forums and stuff is great to meet new people.
The only people I've met from online are RuneScape, Tinder and TSR. They all seemed decent.
Met a lot of people from TSR, which I think is a great way to make friends tbh. Other than that I met a few people on a website called Teenspot which has subsequently shut down :laugh:

I agree. I don't really play games, but one of my uni mates who wasn't really "outgoing" (well she was in a way but she never wanted to go out much but she wouldn't mind meeting other people if you know what I mean?) met a few people from gaming and now they're good mates. The gaming community is massive so yeh maybe you could find someone there?

I don't know any websites, Senpai any help?

I've met people from TSR, MSN, Facebook, a game, other forums, and probably some other places. The way it's always been for me is that we've had a common interest and got on well, then decided to hang out.

These days there are apps for it. For example the ones on this list: http://www.techhive.com/article/2599242/5-apps-for-making-friends-in-a-new-city.html

It might be worthwhile to do some research and try a few different places and see who you come across.

My mate met his best mate on runescape and I've met him a bunch of times and he's a really good bloke . Freaking love that game though. The community was amazing, how you could form friendships that spanned years that all sparked from saying 'wc lvl?'. Runescape will always hold a special place in my heart.
