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

[SElondon87]

I have done before, met an ex on a social networking site, we met in a public place, had a drink and went home, did that a few times before we even went near doing anything, felt a bit less like some random internet meet then!

I think as long as its a public place and you can get away easy (should the worst happen) its all cool!

Depends who it is. I recently met my boyfriend, and thought I would be really nervous! But the second I got off the plane it felt completely normal and nothing was "weird" at all. Everything seemed perfect actually - oh, especially when everyone was staring at us as we kissed and hugged, haha.

Hokay, so now I'm curious ...

How do you guys feel about meeting up in real life with people you meet on Gayspeak (for example), on a 1-2-1 basis ?

I've attached a poll for your perusal, but if you have any thoughts, feel free to post away !!

!?!?! Shadow !?!?!

I think it's a brilliant idea, I know this is a global site, but couldn't everyone all meet and have a little party in their own countries and then share stories and pictures here on GS?

Or even be more ambitious and everyone meet in one country and treat it as a holiday? (not UK please )

I have been a member of a certain forum for four years now and for the last two of them alot of us have met up once a year and had a big party at a public venue. Our first was in Peterborough, this year was in Brighton and our next one which is in January 09 will be held at a venue in Birmingham. It is so good meeting up with friends old and new.
About 150 odd go now


Any ideas, or is it just thinking overly ambitious ????

We should have a poll

Maybe first question should be: Most Gay country? or Most Beautiful? or another description???

Iv met 4 guys online before in relaity, about 2 hours after we all met up we were like, 'were so stupid, should of got at least one person to come with us and meet all you guys with us', but at the same time we was also saying 'good thing we all were who we said we were'!
