When you met someone in RL......

Were they what you expected? Do you think you were what they expected? Are you still friends/lovers? (no names required)
 
I've only met 2 people from online, neither were from Lit. Maybe I was lucky but, both were exactly what the said they were when we talked online or on the phone. Since I'm married and so are they, no sex was involved in any way. But I'm still very good friend with both of them. I'm sure I'll see them both again.

When I met them both I tried to be careful about how and were we met. We met in public and stayed in public. Mostly because I'm a big chicken. I had no fear that they were going to or would hurt me. But I watch too much TV.
 
One week ago, I met Druzil in real life, after 9 months, of numerous phone calls, emails, and hours of chatting. I was scared and anxious to meet him.

But when I finally got there, and he hugged me the fear went away. So Yes he was what I had expected, and yes I think I was what he expected. I am totally in love with him, and we are moving in together. :)
 
Yes to all accounts.
And I have met quite a few people from online.

Including Laurel and Manu (shameless bragging)
 
I have met three people from online....
one... I wish I had never met...
the second..... I wish I had never met.

and the third.... that was pretty cool... but things happened afterward and now we don't talk.


but I am open for possibilities
 
I haven't met anyone from online yet, but I am looking forward to meeting 3 or 4 of Lit's beautiful ladies sometime soon.
 
In a word.......YES!

I finally met my Master in real life (we've been playing for months online), and it was wonderful! It's been over 8 years since I've had one, so I was very nervous. Everything went well though and we are already planning a visit for August.
 
I havent met anyone either. Though i want to meet every single one of my very good friends ive met over the last... nearly 2 years.

Especially my ex, and Isolde. I want to finally spend some time with them the most.
 
I've been online for a LONG time and have had the opportunity to meet a number of people. Most as friends and still am friends with many. Occaisionally as lovers and most all have been good experiences. I believe that if people are open and honest and realistic an up front with each other that it can be a wonderful experience - in many ways it is better than a blind date - or even meeting someone in a bar - a friend of a friend - someone from work - or class - who all you actually know about them is the way they look. Here, online - once again if upfront, honest, open - you already know much about the person...
 
i have yet to meet anyone from online... i would like to meet some of them, but havent ever had the opportunity
 
I've met a number of people in RL. Most of them were from a baseball BB that I frequent. Some of us have become close friends. We have parties, we go out for drinks, we go to games together. Next month about 120 of us are going to Yankee Stadium for Old Timers' Day. Before the game we're going to have a tailgate party in one of the parking lots near the stadium. It should be a real blast. :)

As for romantic/sexual partners, I have met 2 guys that I've played with online, and I'm going to meet another one on Tuesday. I always insist upon meeting in a public place, just for safety's sake. You can learn an awful lot about someone when you chat with him online, but the face-to-face meeting provides you with an opportunity to study body language, analyze tone of voice, and just see how he functions in a social situation.

Nothing panned out with the 2 guys I met. The first guy set off warning bells with certain remarks that he made, and he also didn't appeal to me physically, so I decided not to see him again. The second guy seemed really nice and fun, but after we had lunch together I never heard from him again. He wouldn't return my calls, emails or IMs, so after a few days I took him off my friend list. I don't know what's going to happen with this new guy -- maybe the third time is the charm? We shall see. :)

don't forget about me dang it hehe


I wanna meet people :(

How could I forget about you? Just say when... it can be arranged.
 
Like Dill, i've been online a very long time and had the chance to meet a number of people from various online places through the years. With one glaring exception, i can say categorically that every meeting was a positive in my life. Some of those online-turned-rl friends became more solidly my friends for the personal contact. With a (very) few, a physical relationship ensued and with one of those few, that physicality continues to this day, almost seven years later, when he and i happen to be in the same place geographically at the same time. One of my earliest online friends has become one of the closest friends in my life; i've visited her in Toronto and she's come to visit me, too.

A caveat: it doesn't always work out so nicely. One must be cautious in giving out one's personal info to online "friends". Once upon a time, very early in my online wanderings, i gave too much info about myself to someone i really didn't know all that well. Shortly thereafter, he - a ragged-looking, faintly menacing stranger - turned up on my doorstep with (all?) his luggage and announced his intention to stay awhile and get to know me better. Scared the hell out of me and i learned a lot more caution in a hurry. There are nuts out there, boys and girls. Be careful to whom you give personal info.
 
AWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

AWWWWWWWWW Girlie!!!

That's wonderful! I'm so happy for the both of you!

And life is sweet once again *smiles*
 
Haven't meet with anyone online yet. They don't trust me. Can't say I blame them. I'm a freak.


;)
 
I've met with a couple of people that I have met online before and it was all that I expected.... it was damn good fun and we are still friends now.
