Would you meet an online friend in person?

I've met a few people I only knew online. Though it was at a huge LAN event and I took my mate along just in case they turned out to be a bunch of rapists. It was awesome, and I've since met up a few times, once at a football match.

 

In all though, now that I'm an adult I wouldn't be too afraid of meeting someone I only knew online. I'd probably be cautious though. A few years back, I'd have been very skeptical, never know who's pedo.

Watch the video for the full question and my response to it.

 

Basically... Would you be willing to meet someone in person, that you met online first? Would your answer have been different four or five years ago?

 

I met one person online like....five years ago....that was cool. We had spoken on the phone aswell. (It was....a bit sexual)

 

And then I met a whole group of people that Ive spoken to online for 5 years last week, and that was awesome!

 

And then loads of us from this site are meeting up next month.

 

 

 

So yeah! :heh:

I have done before, Nintybloke/Joe who used to post on these forums. Still talk to him regularly and I'm currently trying to convince him to come up and visit me.

 

I also met ShadowV7 at the Wii launch night in Stirling with one of his friends (Zero?) and another guy from NE who recognised my name when we were playing on the DS. Can't remember who that was now....

I've not actually met anyone from the internet yet, but I will be at some point. As I'm only 16 getting parents permission to go somewhere to meet up with online people is difficult :p But I have a couple of people who I may be going to meet down in Norwich later in the year.

Aside from people who I actually know (MadDog91UK, Firthy1991, Jimjebus) I have stalked Daniel. But he didn't know. And asides from that, I'm not entirely sure.

Are Domstercool and Letty wearing some sort of magical amulet to shield them from your curse? :heh:

Yes! I would! :D and have. I met Bluey Last October at the London Anime Expo. :)

 

She was dressed as Pikachu. :yay: and is AWESOME!

 

Five Years ago or even the beginning of last Year I didn't really use a computer that much and didn't have any internet friends so wouldn't have even considered meeting anyone.

 

Now I am. Though the London Meet up sounds to big an scary for me! :p

I met Letty and I think we saw Bluey aswell. But it might have been anyone in a big yellow costume.

There is on man I plan to meet. He plans on giving me 'beatings', it was two men but one of them isn't going to the London meet.

Oh and I saw demonmike aswell I believe.

I've met Ellmiester (he touched me in bad places ><)

 

 

Disclaimer, i enjoyed it

 

You also met me, biatch!

 

:heh:

 

Oh, and Dan-Likes-Trees lives in the same town as me and DomJcg, so I've probably seen him around somewhere. In fact, he almost definitely knows Dom mum. Then again, everyone knows Dom's mum, in the biblical sense...

If the meetup wasn't so far and expensive to go to (and if I had someone to go with), I wouldn't mind meeting up with some of you. =)

 

Other than that, only met two people from the internet. One was all across the ocean. I'm still amazed about the fact my parents never objected to this. XD

 

The other person I ran into on an entrance exam for an art school. He recognized one of the characters I was drawing (one I created) and asked if I was Ine from the chat (the one we always were chatting in with a bunch of people). Was kind of weird, especially since it was so unexpected. X3
