Would you ever consider meeting someone you've met on the internet?

Answer 1

Absulutely. Of course, it helps to have really good people judgement, and to be cautious in meeting them: i.e. public place for the first meeting. I've made some great friends off the net, and met my ex online. Granted, we parted ways in the end, but he was a good guy.

Answer 2

There are a select few who I've "known" over the internet for almost a year now that I would consider meeting. Our trust in each other has already led us to send Christmas cards and other letters in the past.

Answer 3

I have several times, but always in a group, never one-on-one. I've gone on hikes with other barefooters, been to several BookCrossing meetings, went with a bunch of people from a Dutch forum and did the 'Free hugs' thing. Several of the more active communities organise meetings, that way you pretty much know it's okay rather than meeting with just one individual.

Answer 4

I have two different situations:

One is a friend I have talked to for more than two years, like another brother to me. Lives in Oregon. I have considered it, maybe next time he comes east. I'll bring along my hubby, and we'll all have dinner.

The other is the Cyber Fairy's Magic Man - bad as I want to, that's a big no-no.

Answer 5

there have been a few people in the past i've gotten to know very well where i'll consider meeting them in person. if i was to meet someone i'm not that close with it would have to be in a public place.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Answer 8

I hear stories about people who have, but according to stephen k, the chances for meeting someone from Yahoo!Answers is rare.

Answer 9

I did already-my ex boyfriend. The idiot cheated on me for the whole 6 1/2 mos. of our relationship.

Answer 10

I not only met someone off the net but I married them as well!
