Have you ever met someone in person after meeting them online?

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.

Have you ever met up with someone you met online?

Once. Back in the 90s I met someone who I knew online.

I didn’t want any romance, but it turned out they did, so it was very awkward :sob:

I haven’t met anybody like that since.

I met my last two girlfriends online. Ended up in a 2 yr and 10 yr relationship.

Now that I’m sad I can’t even get a woman to talk to me

I’ve met an unfortunate amount of people from the Internet lol

I say unfortunate because it’s not smart/safe I don’t think…

Yep. No serious relationships though.

One meet-up was really good.

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
