RoadKill Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 A large proportion of friends I have, I know because of the internet or games in some way
Emasher Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I think people get too paranoid these days about this sort of thing. Most parents will still see meeting people online as a bad thing, since what they think is usually really distorted by the media and stuff. But the average person probably has or would meet someone they met online. I think you'll be pretty safe in a public place, if you're still worried though, just bring a friend or something.
MoogleViper Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 But the average person probably has or would meet someone they met online. Well if they met them online then they would have to meet them.
Molly Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 As people have said I think it's fairly safe if it's in a public area and you're comfortable with it. --- This is completely different but quite funny. When I was about 14-15 I met up with a guy I'd be chatting to on MSN for a long time. He wasn't a total random, he knew a friend of mine, but I'd never met him. We went to the cinema and he did the classic 'Yawn... stretch...put arm around', I had to look away from grinning, it just felt completely wrong. He came out with some classic one liners that could have come from 'How NOT to charm a lady' such as... ''You've got cold hands, my exgirlfriend had cold hands and she was a bitch''. And then he kissed me by just sort of pushing his lips towards my general face area. God, looking back it's hilarious. A few days later he emailed me saying he wanted to 'pop my cherry'. It's weird, he wasn't like that before I met him. Anywho, I never spoke to him again. Haha, my excuse is that I was young and naive.

Yes, rape comes to mind. Sure, you're riding on the benefit he was a mate of a mate but a random might'nt be so civil.

Sure, you're riding on the benefit he was a mate of a mate but a random might'nt be so civil. Well...yeah. I wouldn't have done it with a random. I totally agree though, it was pretty stupid. I was rebelling against anything I could at that time though.
Kirkatronics Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Well...yeah. I wouldn't have done it with a random. I totally agree though, it was pretty stupid. I was rebelling against anything I could at that time though. Its not really stupid, well i dont think so anyway. You went to a public place, and you made your mind up not to see him again.
Molly Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Its not really stupid, well i dont think so anyway.You went to a public place, and you made your mind up not to see him again. Thanks But I meant stupid in the sense that I was quite young and no matter how much I liked him from chatting on the net, I didn't really know the person I was letting kiss me etc. It's just something I wouldn't do now.

Lol, didn't you pull away or anything?
ReZourceman Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Lol, didn't you pull away or anything? Who could resist somesones lips coming towards your general face area? I know I couldn't.
Kirkatronics Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Who could resist somesones lips coming towards your general face area? I know I couldn't. *Takes notes* Go for general face area when with reZ
Molly Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Hahaha! How can I describe it? He just sort of closed his eyes, pouted his lips and went for the kill. Our lips touched and that was it. It's something I want to forget now, lol!

ReZourceman Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 *Takes notes* Go for general face area when with reZ Hell yes. I like your style. I also like being visually stimulated by frogs and other such amphibians, and scents of interest include rose and freshly cut paper.
Raining_again Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Bluey that's a very kind thing for you to do! ^__^ I hope that if I go to a country i'm not used to, I find someone nice like you As long as you stay safe you'll be fine I've met quite a few people online, N-E meet, the ballymena N-E folk, as well as soag! I took a bit of a risk meeting soag - went up to Belfast by myself, but I was in public, and he was nothing less than a gentleman =)
Kirkatronics Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Hell yes. I like your style. I also like being visually stimulated by frogs and other such amphibians, and scents of interest include rose and freshly cut paper. What a coincidence! I have cut paper beside me now!
Letty Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah!!! I've met quite a lot of people from here, and everyone was awesome/not rapist. (maybe excluding Demonmike04...) If I were to endorse something, I'd endorse internet - real life transitions.
ReZourceman Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Hahaha! How can I describe it? He just sort of closed his eyes, pouted his lips and went for the kill. Our lips touched and that was it. It's something I want to forget now, lol! It sounds like a real "moment".
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah!!! I've met quite a lot of people from here, and everyone was awesome/not rapist. (maybe excluding Demonmike04...) Could you, uh, go a little deeper on that story please? My sexual fantasies are on an all time low.
Dog-amoto Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Never met anyone online but have been invited to a bloke's wedding I know from Xbox Live. So that will be my first time I've "known" him for about 2 years now and we have a good chat whenever we're on. Because we actually talk and not type like you would on msn/facebook/n-europe etc, then it feels like I know him better than I would if you were chatting through text. Weird though is the fact that I have no idea what he looks like, yet I still consider him as one of my friends. No offence to anyone here as I'm sure you're all swell folk and all, but I don't think I would meet anyone on n-e, mainly because, with the exception of Dan Dare briefly on XBL, I've never actually spoken to any of you, and that makes a big difference IMO
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 What you want is a massive Lan Gathering, I have been to quite a few one Counter-Strike server has, it was awesome. Weird to begin with as I didn't really know them much, but the b33r helped [was above a pub] and the weekend was well spent.
weeyellowbloke Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Only really chatted to Haden from here and never really met anyone from the interwebs other than couch-surfers who were nearly always cracking guys and girls. Always fancied an NE meet though, and I am living down near London now and not working so it's more possible. I once got sent a present of a CD through the post from a Japanese girl though and almost met up with some guys from a forum at Glastonbury years ago. Can't anything wrong with it really, very few people are complete maniacs.
Jimbob Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I've met people in person who i met online, and i've had no problems what-so-ever. Just make sure you remain public and all will be fine.

LAN Parties are nerdy as fuck but also awesome as fuck, drinking booze, playing LAN games, talking about nerdy shit = winrar
