How do you feel about meeting people IRL that you've met online ?

Done it a few times and learned the hard way :eek:

Usually tried to meet for the first time in a public place, but other than that it's not any more risky than cruising ...

The maddest first meet was to fly to Geneva to spend a weekend with Albert. He was held up for a couple of hours and I really wondered what I'd let myself in for. Now look where that's got me

I led a VERY sheltered life through my early teens and was an active member of a chat service run by Lycos. I was wholly addicted, spending hours and hours at the computer, neglecting my schoolwork, and often sitting up til 2am. At 14 and 15, that isn't good.

I "met" a lot of people on there, some I considered friends - in the furthest extent someone you've never seen CAN be considered a friend - and often wished to meet them.

I eventually DID meet the ones closest to me, under circumstances that were rather forced on me, and I have to say, I learnt a lot. People are not often like their alter egos online - I know I wasn't - and whatever occurs IRL was always used as some kind of ammunition once everyone returned to the safety of their PC's.

I was terrified of doing it, having heard all kinds of stories, but for the most part, I've enjoyed meeting people offline, and would do it again now I'm more confident in myself.
