Would you travel to meet someone you haven't seen?

Someone you met off the net, I don't know why people do that.

I have. I met my lovely wife of three years on EP!

Possibly my female friends and maybe one or two male ones. If I ever did it would be in a public well lit place and I would drive my own car and have 911 on speed dial...I am a bit paranoid. However, how well do you know the people you meet the first or even for a third time in real life? I would not meet up with anyone I had not interacted with for years online or for sex that is craziness.

Yes, after we have either FaceTimed or Skyped, so we've both seen each other in real-time.

I actually travelled 200 miles to meet my future 3rd now ex-wife after we started chatting in 2001 on an online dating site.

There is currently one woman on SW whom I'd meet, if she ever decides she wants to. We've already FaceTimed.

@EnigmaticGeek: well photos can fail too, I find sometimes that people who look really bad in real life look a lot better on pics.
EnigmaticGeek · 61-69, M
@Paleandpolluted86: I can see that, especially if the pics are old. That's why I will video chat in real time--those images can't be old that way.

I have actually encountered people who look better in person than in their pics. From what people tell me, I'm also such a person. I think most pics of me, frankly, suck.

@EnigmaticGeek: i look better in person too. As I said in another reply women are more likely to be attractive.

Yes, and we've been married for about ten years.
mysteryangel · 51-55, F
Yes but only after doing background checks and letting someone know exactly where I am going and who with...then I'd have them call me after 20 minutes of meeting the person to see if all was ok...I would be careful as possible.

@mysteryangel: if you don't trust them .. Just don't leave
mysteryangel · 51-55, F
@khaledkhaled: Not saying I dont trust them but you can never be too careful "initially" these days
khaledkhaled · 31-35, M
Agree. But you can choose different place or country. It will be safer.

Yes I would

The longest journey I've done was when mIRC still a thing. Met a girl who like to talk in quantum physics chatroom.
Fast forward 13 years later, she's a millionaire now.

Yes, I would….not necessarily with any romantic intentions, either. It would be interesting to meet some online friends in their home cities/countries.

@MisterClean910: women can wear make up and are more attractive in general.

Isn't that what internet dating does? Like Match.com or Tinder?
