meet my online friend

Not everyone you meet online is some sort of creep like society wants you to believe. I’ve met my online friend in person and I have to say they are easily one of my best friends. Now we’re planning to meet on breaks and during the summer and perhaps even go to the same college. If you consider your online friend very close to you, or having the potential to be, it’s definitely worth doing.

I belong to a great online community with so many friendly artists. I have become very friendly with a few of them; we even talk on the phone. I have met one woman and her fiance; we had dinner together which was so great. Lovely people. :) I also have other friends in the community, and we hope to have a convention this summer. :) So.. I guess I can say I did this.. because I did it once.. but I have more friends I want to meet.

Meeting someone, obviously can be dangerous, but I did it under parental supervision obviously, and yeah. Worth Doing. It gives you a chance to just step outside the box, and just experience other peoples lives who aren’t in your area. lol

I’ve been chatting with this girl for over eight months. We started talking about music and Irish independence and now we are good friends. I just want to meet her.

I just don’t know if it’s worth it. What if, in a face-to-face meeting, we don’t like each other? What if it just ruins everything?

I know I’ll meeet her.

of meeting someone on the other side of the world when neither of you has any reason or even opportunity to travel to the other’s side?

Or you don’t even know if the other person has any desire to meet….they may think it is just bizarre & impractical.

And what if you did meet and it’s all just horribly awkward & weird?

Tomorrow I’m going to meet a girl, whom I’ve never seen before. We have been chatting on MSN for some time and she has given me some advice concerning my upcoming exchange year in Germany (she has studied there in the past). We thought it would be nice to meet in person before I leave and tomorrow it’s going to happen. I’m quite excited now and I hope everything goes well.

I’ve met only one of my online friends in person so far. It went quite nicely, we had fun and we are still good friends.

If you really want to know someone, you have to meet him/her in person. Of course you can get a pretty good idea about someone’s personality by chatting with them online, but it’s a whole different situation when dealing face-to-face. There are so many characteristics that do not get conveyed by mere chatting.

It has been said that when communicating with someone in person, only 10% of the information comes from actual words. The rest 90% consists of body language, facial expressions, phonetic forms and other sounds, etc. Simply put, more important than what you say is the way how you say it.

Think about how much you’ll miss if you don’t meet your online friends in person.

in such a big city, it’s amazing how we can go through life without meeting people that live just down the block.
just be safe and let people know you are going.
it was pleasant and now I can put a person to the words.

LOL I have no idea why this is all of a sudden a goal of mine… I’ve met my first boyfriend and it all went downhill fast. I think I’ve learned my lesson… (LOL there’s a guy in this room speaking like a pirate talking about his poop deck… wtf?!?)
But if anyone wants to meet me in real life you’re more than welcome to! I love conventions and I’m usually there a lot!! So come meet me and take a picture with me!! ^-

I have met several friends online and meeting them in person is so worth it. Its a little awkward at first but if you have known each other for a while its so rewarding to match the face with the voice.
