My first serious boyfriend I met online when I was in high school. I searched for industrial music listed in the profiles of people who lived close to my town. This was on AOL. We went to 2 proms and I followed him to college.
In my 20s I met 3 people who I met on Second Life.
Now I’m trying to meet folks in my area using Bumble.
Yes, quite a few times. I met a few women when I was the service that I met on Match and we dated for a little while. Well, the third one was sort of just a fling but she ended up really liking me. Idk. Weird situation.
It’s typically safe as long as you use common sense. Meet in a public area etc.
I made friends with a lad on my course at university on a student forum. Then found him in person and we got along really well. I still have his number
