Your wording is pretty funny. :P

 

its unique my friend.

 

I've met a couple of 'online' people offline that I know from different forums, but mostly that was because it had something to do with work.

I missed out on the chance to meet up with Gav earlier in the year when he practically stayed in my back garden!

Always think that it is good to put faces to names. Or you could discover that someone you thought was a good guy turns out to be a complete pr1ck!

 

Well I will admit I have met "people" online offline...and by people I mean women...hehe...I use to visit loads of chat rooms in my younger days and getting acquainted with a few of them...a couple of them I still talk to about 7yrs later!!! weird...lol...

 

expected that from you...

 

hey I cant help it...lol...

 

gotta agree with noel g, (poet and i dont know it... ) but the only people i've met offline are a few cheeky women...before i was married obviously...

 

Never have, but wouldn't exclude it out of hand either. I couldn't vote though because none of the replies apply to me.

 

I've been meeting people online since my teen years, not as ominous as it sounds I assure you

growing up on the internet gives you a somewhat different perspective on things, I have been online since I was 9, I met my wife on the internet, I met alot of people I now consider to be my best friends either online, or through computer related passtime/occupation

Having started IT as a gamer, and attended LAN parties since i was 15, alot of the people i 'met' at the LAN parties were already well known to me through the various IRC networks and other chat systems we gamers used to frequant (I think a few hardcore folks still use IRC, but I have little use for it these days)

Since then I have met numerous people online, and in this day and age its no more unsafe or unorthadox to meet people you first met online than it is to meet a random stranger in a bar, I have friends on practically every continent on the planet now, many of whom I have visited, or have visited me in the past, and will likely do so again, some of my WoW guildmates are from Jordan and I have an open invite to see them, I know Japanese people who have stayed with me during their visit to London to save a few quid and whom I also have open invitations to visit, I have met numerous Americans I met online in my extensive travels including our very own Tripwire, and look forward to meeting them again

The world is a much smaller place these days if people actually embraced it as such

 

Phoenix,

Let us know when you start meeting people on another planet...

 

Allow me to introduce Gav..
