how many of you have met your online friends?

[Eureka]

Never IRL, but I have talked to my NF over Google Hangouts. Hoping to meet her in person one day!

[Killer]

So far, I haven't met any of them in RL, but I'm hoping to one day.

I've met one and would absolutely love to meet more if I had the money to travel to see them!
It's definitely awkward at first, especially if you were raised with Stranger Danger, but now we've both traveled to visit each other's homes and it's just wonderful to bridge that gap.

I've met a some people from a couple IRC channels that I trust a lot (some of them I'm not sure I'd ever let into my house though, lol). I'm an introvert but I do love meeting new people (obviously it's easier for me online, oh god).

All my friends I met in college and high school but I use Internet for online dating mostly. I found reviews about best hook up site on Hookupmasters and decided to try my luck. I met very hot girls there, with some of them I even had a few coffee dates.

[Teakwood]

I've met @(you need an account to see links) @(you need an account to see links) (I don't know which name he goes by on here, and he hasn't been active in years)

I've flown/drove all over to meet up with people. Probably close to 10-15 people I've met off of neo?

Not really, but I did meet someone in-real-life, a trans dude at a protest in 2011, who I would eventually lose contact with (we both moved to diff towns a few months later) a few years later. Both being against Facebook, we basically disappeared off the face of the Earth for each other. He had used a fake name (not his chosen name nor his dead one) on Facebook and I eventually forgot it. Probably didn't help that I was also using a fake name too... We're paranoid folk lol.

When I came back from hiatus on Neopets (over 6 years), I was quickly and pleasantly surprised by a message from my old friend! It was nice reminiscing and catching up!

Living in Canada, as a kid I quickly learned that:
1. No one online lives here
2. If they do, they're on the other side of the country
3. And even if they aren't, no one wants to go to some bodunk town in the middle of nowhere

Not necessarily true. I just got back from nowhere Saskatchewan LOL.

With my main cast of online friends I am surprised to have met up with as many as I have. It's worth doing if you get the chance.

A friend flew into town a few weeks ago and I just happen to be seeing another in a few weeks as I drive into that area.

[iMastery]

I think I've only met up with 1 person online
@(you need an account to see links)

Me too hahaha.
