has anyone ever met anyone from a chatroom? or would you cosider it?
I'm 27 male and was interested in peoples views
just a note to clear things up I am seeing someone now for over 2yrs (didnt meet in chat room) but last year did meet someone whom had been chatting to for about 3 yrs or so(maybe bit more cant rem?). was not planned but what happened was we stayed about 20miles apart and I was out shopping(with my girlfriend) when just bumped into her (recognised each other from photos had posted) she is now great friend of both me and girlfriend. was interested in what peoples thoughts were on meeting "Strangers" as i would not have thought about meeting anyone. the question arose as i was talking to my friend earlier in week and she asked if we hadnt met way we did would I have arranged to meet her?

I used to go to a chatroom...and met alot of funny, sweet, caring people, but also met mean, weird, and rude people as well.
I met men and women. This was when I downloaded Yahoo Messenger, so I could talk to the friends I had made in this chatroom.
Like an idiot, I made friends with a man, the very first time I went into this chatroom and I fell for his sweet act...not a flirt act, but a caring act, cuz this chatroom was for ill people. Eventually.. In the chatroom, he began sending me private messages and I knew then that he was trouble. I eventually quit going to the chatroom, cuz this person was always there......looking for another naive person.
THEN, this person sends me an invite on Yahoo IM and I hit ignore. I never found out how he got my username.
I dont go to the chatroom anymore. It seemed like there were more snooty people in there, than nice. And, there seemed to be more guys in this room looking for cybersex than I I realized. I found out later about this person and others that were like him. I was shocked and I was hurt that this guy was NOT my friend, he was a creep.
My husband warned me of this, and he was right. I dont go to ANY chatrooms. You have to be very careful who you talk to. Dont trust anyone....They dont care if youre married either.

I would (I've had lots of dates from on-line dating sites), but I would use the same common sense rules for meeting anyone from on-line face to face: Meet in a public place, let a friend know where you are going and when you'll be home, etc. I also have sometimes arranged to have a friend call me on my cell phone at some point in the evening. I apologise upon first meeting my date for having to keep my cell phone on, but I'm on call at work. So, if the date is a real drag, I have an out.

Over the years through the internet and before it was around, the multi line BBS's, I have met thousands of people from online. I don't have to worry much cause I'm a big guy but with that being said, have always had positive experiences meeting people. Do be wary, don't get me wrong, the suggestion of a very public place is a good one, but I have always and will meet more people I ahve met online.

The decision to meet must be exclusive to each and every individual case.
I would advice careful evaluation of all circumstances first of all.
If all OK so far then meeting should be in public place and with the additional safeguard of bringing along a trusted companion (these are guide lines for self safety)
If the person one is intending in meeting is genuine then there should be no objections to all this and perhaps a beautiful friendship can begin.
Hope that helped, the advice is as much for you as it is for me. For I too correspond with a very special some one in similar circumstances and would dearly like to meet.
Alas! this will not be possible due to excessive distance.
Best wishes

I have met people from all over the world by the Internet. I provided transportation for three Chinese exchange students and allowed the to spend the night at my house before taking them to their college the next day. I hosted a German scientist that was attending a seminar at Hopkins on image processing of the Shoemaker-Levey comet. I've had Japanese guests, and I've met people from all over the USA, too. The worst experience I've had is to be BORED, but I've been cautious and careful, too. I don't take many chances.

Yes! Then I'd watch a dirty movie with YOUR lover. It's a great way to enhance sexual communication. When you see it you can talk about it. You can let each other know your preferences or boundaries with ease as they come up in the film. It can help to spice up your sexual repertoire. Seeing other people being creative in bed can give any slow sex life some new ideas. It can help get both of you aroused. When you need that extra push the right adult film can do the trick in a few minutes, whereas foreplay alone may take to long. It can hep take away the feeling that you (or your partner) are a freak. Seeing other people do things can normalize sex for you and your partner. If she sees a fellow woman enjoying analingus, for example, she may not feel badly about wanting to explore it.

Yes I have met people in my age group from chat, but always in a VERY public place and I had a person flying on my wing everytime just in case.
Then again I am over 21.

It is great to meet the person from We messenger. But remeber the fianl out come may not be ggod? If he/ she is married with some body and you snatahc it? Beware of such situation in and for future of your personal life. It may be in danger at some point of time. Give your rough idea of country , culture, city , ethics , age , status , culture of your country , your matter of principle, moral character, duties , liabilities etc. Beware of BUGS ? Beware of such bugs in your life. One day you will have to suffre a lot.

Yes, I have a few times, but I wouldn't go across the world or anything. :P
Hey, you're 27 years old, if you want to meet someone irl, then go for it; why worry about what other people have to say? Just use your best judgement, and keep yourself out of trouble. :)
