Hello all.
I have been wondering for some time now how many of you have actually met in real life?
Planning to get together?
What was your motivation to /not to meet, complicated, distance, too shy, etc....
Share your experience.
To me the say "where there's a will there's a way" apply.
I will tell you a similar story but later on...
 
Well, it was you who started the thread with the minimalist beginning 'I will tell you a similar story but later on...'
I simply followed your lead. :D

Lol, I have to go soon but I will, have to translate all of that first :cool:
 
Always meet in public and protect yourself.

If someone wants your personally identifiable information before meeting, but will not offer theirs or info is obviously false, that's a red flag.
 
Another self-protective tip; after the public meet up, take a couple of photos of the person, send them to a friend and tell the meet-up person you what you did. If you manage to, do the same with a couple of their car as well. Its called insurance. I am also not beyond asking to see some ID either. You can use the reasoning of, 'one often hears tales of internet hook-ups going bad and I am just protecting myself'. If they are genuine, they will understand and it wont be an issue.
That tends to keep them on their best behaviour.

None yet and highly unlikely to do so considering where I live...but one never knows, I might be convinced to take a journey to the unknown one day...
 
So my story is not exactly a 2.0 story but the aiming is there.
Happened in summer 1993, (I was 21 yo), south of France, Nice.
I met Judy, an Australian on trip around Europe. We met in a club and the connection happened instantly.
We spent one fantastic week together, showing her all I knew of the French Riviera. After this week she left for London to continue her tour but we promised to keep in touch.
Few days later she called me to say she missed me so she came back to me and spent the rest of her holiday with me. After a summer of crazy partying she went back to Australia. We kept writing to each other, and after few months of work I had enough money to get there, on holiday visa for 3 months . .. I ended up staying 5 years there with her, don't regret a minute of it... So in 1998 came back to France and had to start all over again :D

I think distance is always a huge factor when you meet someone online.. Plus there's the fact that many are married/ in relationships.. That's another tough one.. Also.. I think many women are hesitant to meet someone they've met online.. Men as well.. As they should be..it's a dangerous world out there.. Plenty of hidden motives.. But.. I think sometimes you meet the right person..and things can work out.. But jumping into anything is usually a bad decision

All this indeed has to be considered, only with time you know someone and build something strong enough. It is a dangerous world, something can happen to you crossing the road... I like to think all the guys and girls "in couple" here, would meet one day!!
Again with all the precautions needed ;=).
 
Not on this site, but Open Diary - the site shut down a couple years ago.

Anywho, it was similar to this site where you follow people you enjoy reading or whatnot. It wasn't an adult oriented site though, just general dear diary stuff. I had a friend on there, and it turned out we not only lived in the same area, we worked down the street from each other. So we made plans, and one day we met for lunch about half way between her work and mine.

She and her husband moved away a few years back, but we still keep in touch. He parents live in the area, and she visits every so often.

If it were this site, I might have some reservations. I've grown skeptical, and the evil on the internet has jaded my sense of trust. It would take quite a bit for me to meet someone from online now.
 
i've only been here a short while.i came on here and the chat rooms because i'm married but not in love,feel old and lonely.meeting anyone is highly unlikely but hopefully one day.i've seen there are some nice people on here and chatted to a few on chat.i've had my best chat on here with a sweet sincere person that has made me feel better and made me realise there is hope.
