I guess I'm either too honest or stupid. I agreed to meet a woman I had been talking to on messenger for a few months. We were both from the bay area. We met at the Great Mall and man was I nervous. Our chats had never really been sexual just friendly. She thanked me for actually being who I said I was but she apologized for her dishonesty. She had lied about her age...big whoop...I couldn't tell 38 from 25. She was a beautiful woman. She was not divorced but looking for a greener pasture...and she was not brunette but blonde (artificial intelligence as she put it). We had a great time but I went looking to meet a friend, she went looking for a romp in the parking lot! Needless to say she went from an excited school girl to psycho bitch once I said no. I haven't met any on line friends since...that was 5 years ago.

chgobigdikluvr: I've met plenty of men over the internet. I met one from this site, in fact. He was visiting Chicago from California over Memorial Day weekend and, after months of corresponding, we finally got to meet..."mouth-to-crotch."

Internet hookups are the sign of the times. It's a very interesting way of meeting and connecting because your mutual likes and dislikes are put out on the table even before you meet face-to-face. I have met so many men who I otherwise would not have considered had we been at a bar, for example. You just have to exercise good caution and good judgment, as with anything else.

ShadyT82: i must say that i have both good stories and bad stories of internet meet ups, worst story however was the girl and her mother who ended up stalking me for 6 months because they wanted to live out some weird fetish dream of theirs....after that i said this whole internet dating thing has got to be one of the strangest things to hit the times

I've met up with people online for different reasons. Mixed results, of course. More often than not, people weren't who they said they were online (wrong picture, wrong description) or, after hanging out for a few moments, it felt way too uncomfortable. Nowadays, I feel like I've developed this sixth sense about people online. You get a good feel for who's a genuinely nice, down-to-earth honest person out there versus the Photoshoppers, the weirdos, and the insane. Even now, I still stay on my toes.

Thankfully though, I have made quite a few "friends," for lack of a better word. One thing that still gives me faith in chatting and meeting online is the quality of the bond that can come from some people. I have a few regular chat buddies that, if they lived here, would be dear, close friends of mine. These are the guys and girls I try to keep up with on a regular basis, look forward to IMing, and -- dare I say -- catch myself thinkin' about 'em, wondering if they're doing alright and they're safe. While it is regretful that these online folks are so scattered across the country, at the same time, it's comforting and a bit satisfying to know that I've got friends all over the place who care about me and are cared about in return.

My partner and I met online 12 years ago. Now, this was back when AOL only had about 2-300,000 members. We have over the years tried to meet other couples or to make new friends using our computers. Sometimes successful and some times not. Usually when the other guy starts out with "what are your stats" we know they're only into the sex and not wanting to establish a heartfelt friendship. And to be honest even the ones just wanting sex have been str8 forward. Our personal goal has always been to built a strong friendship base but each has to commit to the effort. We started out writing to each other almost every day...learning more and more about each other, by the time we met, we already felt like we were "just calling on a friend".

Oddly enough I have never met someone face to face off the computer. I guess it would be interesting though. I have 2 good friends who swear by internet hook-ups and say that 8 out of 10 times the people are who they say they are online. In most chat rooms it always seems like every guy has a swimmers build and a 8-10 inch dick, which I just find humourous. I feel like this is probably the only place where 95% of the people are who they actually claim to be. Who knows, maybe I'll meet someone from LPSG! :D

Lucille: I've found the Net useless for meeting guys. Here in England I usually have adverts running in two or three magazines, and from them I usually get to meet a genuine person about three times a month.
I've yet to meet a genuine/honest guy from the Net.
:(

As am I, but I digress.

A friend of mine (living here in the UK) has met a girl online from Canada, and, after quite a while chatting, they decided to meet. They instantly hit it off and have had a strong relationship for a while now. Recently he proposed, and they're now engaged, expecting a child, and he is finalising plans to move out to Canada to be with her.

I personally have met two people that I first started chatting to online, both female. The first I ended up having a great, strong, long-term relationship with, and the second, well it's a complicated story, but either way, I've never had a negative experience from an online friend meet-up. :)

Those Canadians...*sighs blissfully*
I haven't had any online relationships. I am far too used to looking after myself and keeping my 'insides in'. Not to say I'm heartless, more to say that I'm sceptical of anybody who proposes out of the blue.

I've tried a few chat rooms in the last coulpe of years, and I've only found a small % of genuine good ones. The girls I've met 90% of them were real and honest, and the others turned out to be posting phony pic. I've only recently tested a few local dating networks, and I've met quite few of the ladies. 50% phony, materialistic and hypocritical the other 50% honest, loving, practical, and not looing into rushing into things. So, mixed results, but thus I strain.
