How do I do this to myself?
2005-04-29, 1:55 AM #1
Well, I just did something I told myself I would never do. I met a girl on the internet, and I'm going to meet her in person tomorrow. I'm pretty nervous about it, and can't help but think I'm a moron for some reason. Has anyone else done this? If so, how'd it work out? Any advice for a fool like me?

I've met two of my best friends. Visited one a second time and am trying to see them again. Its really fun and enjoyable and stuff. :D

I wouldn't really be nervous. Especially if you've known her a long time. Just treat her like you would online.


Also, I assume you've taken the standard precautions for meeting someone on the internet? know them for a while? maybe call them? then if you arrange for a meeting have it be in a public place with you and them both accompanied by friends? (or family if you perfer)

Yep I met Morpheus in my home town when he came over from finland,

Also I got to know a girl called Yvonne after 5 years on the internet.

I met her only once, then she travelled to scotland and never saw her again. The closest person I have ever been to, I loved her, and missed her greatly :(

  do other babe}

A lot of people do well with people they meet on the internet, but I have heard stories of some who keep meeting different internet people and then breaking up relationships and then moving to the location of the next internet friend. Don't do that . . .

Actually, some do. I've seen surprisingly around 4 that have worked out better than in-person relationships.

Explain that to my aunt who married the man she met online. She's been married to him for six years and is the happiest she's ever been.

I think he ment staying online relations... like you don't meet each other IRL.
But if he meant as a way to meet people..Yea I know someone who's happily married because they met someone online, knew them a while, then met in person and fell in love. It works. It has nothing to do with the online portion. It's all about in person face to face.

Yes, be sure to say "lol" and "rofl" a lot. And use lots of smilies and abbreviations, and internet terms like "leet." And you MUST say "teh."

I meant my fiance online a few years ago.

We broke up 3 years ago, but we got back together a year ago.

We've got a great relationship.

I met a chick online before.. she gave the best.. nevermind. But it was worth it!

I also met another chick online, then I ended up dating her friend for over a year.

Met another one, went to a party on campus, had a great time.. a week later she got married and moved to Germany.

It's a hell of a lot easier meeting chicks online than it is actually going out in public and tring to do it. Those were my young days and I don't really do it anymore.

Well, I met her today. It was one of those rare experiences where the person walks through the door, and you think you're hallucinating. She was the most absolutely GORGEOUS person I've ever met. We sat and talked for about an hour and a half and seemed to go pretty well. She wants me to call her later tonight.

I did it for awhile, was fun. As long as you dont go in thinking that this is going ot be the exact same person you met online. People act differently when they are anonymous. Just start out like friends that met online, then see where it goes from there.....or just smack her in the face with a halibut. if she falls, shes yours forever.

I find it funny when people talk about online relationships as if they were some new thing. In ye olden days, before computers, people would write letters back and forth if they were far apart, and sometimes people who had never met would do this. They were known as Pen Pals. Sometimes these pen pals, if they were compatible, would meet up and get married.

And before that, there were these things called arranged marriages. They were pretty much the standard thing for the majority of people who've ever lived, in a greater or lesser degree. "Love" was something that was expected to develop after spending some time with them. And many times it did.

That said, I'd much prefer to meet my future mate in person, rather than online. More romantic that way.

My last girlfriend and I used to do that even though we pretty much constantly talked on IM and emailed each other. Letters are more fun.

Last summer, a girl IMed me saying she was looking for other Rutgers people to talk to. Seemed kind of weird to me, but I didn't reject her. Didn't say much to her until school, when she said to meet up. Not having anything better to do, I met her and her roomate and we hung out. She reminded me of a cat lady right off the bat. She later told me that she found me because she thought I was attractive, from some obscure place where I had my picture up. She had a boyfriend, as well. She would eventually get into a serious relationship with another girl with a boyfriend, and coke. I'm like a crazy girl magnet, you wouldn't believe it.

Tell that to my brother, he is engaged to a woman he met online. The wedding is in July.

As far as meeting women from online, yeah I've done it. All of them turned out to be exactly who they claimed to be as well. I never meet them at there house or anything like that though.
