Okay, I totally cannot believe I haven’t asked this yet. Today I want to know if you have ever met anyone in person that you first “met” online. I am talking either from a dating website like Match or another blogger or someone you met on a message board / forum. Anything.
I personally have NEVER met any one in real life that I know from online. I kind of think I am in the minority here because I am guessing most people have. Am I right? Wrong? I consider a lot of my online friends as my real friends and we text and e-mail and all that, but we’ve never met. Not that I don’t want to because of course I do! I’ve known some of these girls, gosh, for almost ten years now so I know they aren’t catfishing or anything crazy and I’d love to hang out with them! Ohh, maybe I should put this on my 2013 Bucket List?
I am so excited to hear everyone’s answers on this one. I am pretty sure this is going to be my most favorite poll ever!! If you’ve met someone, tell me all about it! Was it good? Bad? If it was on a dating website, did you get catfished?
Besides a bunch of girls from the boards, I met one of my BFFs in an AOL chat room! We were randomly in a College Chat room together and quickly realized that we went to the same college, different campuses. As it turned out, we were taking one of the same classes that next semester and since I knew no one at that bigger campus, we decided to meet up before class. Fast forward 12 years later, we still talk to each other every single day and she was a BM in my wedding.
Believe it or not I met my husband online! Never in my wildest dreams did I think that would happen but it did. My best friend met her husband on Myspace (that should tell you how long ago) I think it should definitely be on your 2013 Bucket List to meet someone from the internet… just not a husband LOL!
I met my fiance on Match.com! I’ve actually met all my SO’s online now that I think about it, lol…I’ve never been catfished thank goodness and I’ve never catfished anybody either…I’m not one for starting a potential relationship on a lie… I’m a firm believer that if they don’t like me for me then they are not worth my time!
On a completely unrelated note, did you catch the catfish movie on MTV this weekend? This is the second time I’ve seen them run the movie!
I’ve met TONS of people in person who I initially *met* online. To include my husband! My three best friends in the world are in my life thanks to the internet, as well as many “good” friends. I can’t thank the internet enough for introducing people into my life 🙂
I’d put it on your bucket list for sure!
I’ve met some local bloggers in real life that I first met online. I’ve also met a few people from an online forum for local moms.
I met one of my closest friends who was my maid of honor on an online forum. I also met another very good friend from the same forum. I was hesitant at first but now I’m glad I took that leap of faith because I wouldn’t be me without them in my life!
I met one of my best friends ever online. We started IMing through a blog, then started calling and emailing, and we finally met after 10 years of friendship. (He lives in a different country.) He is still one of my best friends.
Yes, I married him!
Unfortunately now we have separated but that has nothing to do with how we met.
I met my hubs online. I also met a blogger whose blog I’ve been following for the past few years. She bakes/sells cookies on the side so I had her make cookies for my baby shower. I wanted to meet her so bad that I chose to meet up with her instead of her shipping the cookies to me! I promise I’m not a stalker, I just wanted to meet her IRL!
Yes, some people were GREAT, others were HORRIBLE!!!!!!
No but there are some that I would love to, I think a group meet up is in order this year!
Yes, I have friends from a message board that I’ve been friends with for over 10 years. I have only met a few of them but we have talked of a “reunion” of sorts. 🙂
I’ve met a lady or two from the boards.
I actually met my boyfriend online – in a video game actually. I have also met several people from message boards and video games. Never met anyone from any dating websites, as I have never used them, but I have a bunch of friends that have!
But seriously, nothing tops meeting the love of my life in a video game 7 years ago. 😉
i met the bf – probably 95% of the people i’ve dated in the past 10 years – on various dating websites, and a couple of lovely friends from random blogs. i cannot believe YOU haven’t! 🙂
I’ve met two girls IRL that I met on message boards! Both times it was at a concert! I had so much fun and I wish i could meet more of my online friends, sometimes I feel like they know me a lot better than some of my friends I see all the time!
Right away I am going away to do my breakfast,
later than having my breakfast coming over again
