Have you guys ever met an online friend?

Met a very good friend here. He passed away.

yes when this was EP I meet a middle age person who was living in the same town where I was living and working , he used to come at that motel where I was working , we introduced in EP suddenly and decided to meet , he was a contractor of local forest department and once we spend a nice 3 days camping in side deep forest , it was a lot fun for both of us , he was so excited to got me like this , but with time being we lost contact to each other and never seen him again here in SW ever

Yes, and we still talk whenever one of us feels like it.

Yes.... happily ever after...

I came close but the day before we was going to meet she said she was 16. She had a profile of a 45 year old. The pictures was her mother.

My current partner/BD was a tinder match 😆

I did meet someone from SW like uh 6 years ago or so. Something like that.

Yes. A few times over the years. In general, it went very well. We met in a safe public space where we could interact and see if the online presence matched the RL one. One of the nicest things was that when we met we were well past the awkward first conversation stage. We know each other fairly well when we finally came face to face. I enjoyed every one of this interactions.

That said, I think it's a risky practice. If you choose to take that risk please use care.

does tinder count ? i mean that the whole purpose of tinder..

@deadgerbil and I did a drive by

I met my gf on Facebook back in 2021. We had a few mutual friends & grew up in some of the same areas but never met before. We got close but she lived kinda far so we never met up yet. After a year we finally met up. Didn't start hooking up till a lil while later though

Never....... unless you count that one chick, one time from POF, but that was the first and last time I ever tried online dating.
I'm more of a face to face person so I can actually gauge a woman's reception of me.

Yeah......... I got it like that. 😎

We had online parties on IRC Channels in Indiana all the time in the late 90s. I hosted several parties myself which numbered between 100-200 people.

Every time we made plans he would change his mind

I met members of an IRC chat room several times back in the 90s. Haven't met anybody from SW however.

Did that once. Married her. She slept with my friend 3 days later

Yes. My best friend. Let her online and now friends for 18yrs

Yes. Did meet one from sw too

Yeah but we were in a relationship by that point so it was different. It went well.

Naa I haven’t. There are some from here I’d meet up with if we happened to be crossing paths though

Yes. I met someone from here in person once. It went quite well.

Yeah, from a chat room way back in the day.

I have. Not from similar worlds tho

Yes, it was easy and comfortable

I have, met one lady whom became a great friend,, on who was looking for a FWB and had dinner with a girl who had a very interesting life.

I a big guy so, feel that safety isn't as big of a concern for me but, I've had great experiences.

we had romantic coitus

Many times

Yes. My hobby is genealogy, and I have met several new cousins online. Three of them have visited me at my home, and one lovely lady spent a weekend with us. It always went well.

One was really awkward, but the other two went fine, tho over the years we lost contact. And no, have never met anyone from SW or EP.

Online a few times, yes, I have. The friendship/relationship never lasted long. I refused to change into a person I did not want to be.


But never anyone one from SW.

I haven’t. One friend really wanted to buy I lived in Alberta Canada and she lived in Nebraska.
