It was by chance, but it was graet fun. I’d love to do it again with somebody. _
How to meet at least one of my online friends.
It made me
nervous 
"well nerve racking"
How I did it: i have asuch met 5 people i was friends with online or that i didn't know in person, thats a bit more complicated but its more or less the same thing.... text friends, well they all took me varying lengths of time i supose the first one took me 8 months to meet we lived in the same country just about 2 hours away and i allways hoped to one day meet him and one day he had to come to dublin to go to a hospital a bus trip away from wear i lived, so we decided to meet and i got the bus there. and we met outside a garage beside a hospital lol very strange... he was actually my first love and my first ever date i was only just gone 14 and at the time it made me so nervous but yet so happy i will allways remember it but unfortunately we have long since lost touch and have both moved on
Lessons & tips: be brave, get to know the person fully

Recently met a girl who I met online and discovered she lives a 20 second walk away. We’ve been seeing each other more and more recently.
Sadly I REALLY embarrassed myself the first time we met – I was spinning my mobile (cell phone) around in my hand and dropped it. I tried to tell her I meant to do that (those were my first words to her) but she was taking none of it >.<

Sometimes it's scarry

And it can be really disolusioning. But all in all, I’ve really loved all the people I’ve met from online. (Especially my boyfriend… I really love him.)
But it’s not something I’d do lightly. And not something I’d do without taking proper precautions.

I’ve met quite a few—I said it was worth it, however, sometimes you don’t click face to face the same way you do over the internet. And be careful, of course. ;) Otherwise, go for it—sometimes it turns out wonderfully.

This is so much an “it depends” thing.
But the biggie: I met my husband online, so that one went well.
One of my best friends is a long-time Internet friend (we’ve only met in person a handful of times, but are still close despite the physical distance).
The best “mom friend” I have is one I met via an email list of moms due at the same time I was.
I’ve had tons of fun times, only one or two awkward ones, and nothing truly scary (a few things I regret, but that’s fodder for another day) in over a decade online. I don’t think I could even count the number of people I’ve met in person who I originally knew online, though the number of those whom I keep in regular contact with is much, much smaller.
But I’d put a big caution note, because it can be downright dangerous (probably much more so now than in 1994) if done carelessly.
