Current Events > Have you ever met someone from the internet IRL?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Excluding apps and websites where the purpose is to meet in person (like tinder), have you?

How'd it go?

Met up with some guys i friended on xbox. They came to vegas eager to party and play and they all left broken men.

Yes, I met my current boyfriend via a game we both play and bonded over

I met someone I met on aol chat when I was 16 it didn't end well

Met lots of people through tumblr. Dated some even. A couple I'm still friends with and text semi-daily.

Yes. I met multiple women off of MySpace. That's actually how I met my ex girlfriend. We met off MySpace and stayed together 10 years lol.

Once.

Years ago when I used to use Soulseek (p2p file sharing program) a dude who I knew from one of the chat rooms went on tour with his band and I went to see them when they played my city.

No tbh. I've had a few chances but never took them. Got scared at the last minute

Never a good idea <_<

I have three roommates I met on GameFAQs

Yep, a good friend of mine invited me to her wedding.

Myspace easy basically a dating app before dating apps. That's all I used mine for. To be reachable by randoms

Once.

I met a girl in an AOL chatroom back in 10th grade. We "online dated" for about 8 months(estimated, I honestly don't really remember), before we broke it off. She lived about an hour away from me. We ended up going to the same college and met at orientation. She dropped out I think though and we didn't run into each other much around campus.

It was extremely awkward meeting, at least in part because I'm a shy person. I do wonder what happened to her and how she is doing. We haven't connected at all since a few months into our first year in college.

I met a couple of girls I was in a guild with way back when I played Everquest on the PS2. I had sex with both of them. One I remained friends with for like decade and we'd visit eachother like once a year. Friendship kind of fizzled out not long after she became a mom and all of the responsibilities that come with that.

made a close friend on counter-strike in like 2004 and met up many times since

met multiple people off gamefaqs but it was over 10 years ago

hooked up with 3 girls i met on overwatch between 2016 and 2019, would've been more if they'd lived closer, damn that game was a goldmine for a while

Met up played vs games for the hole day. Fell asleep on the couch, my b hole was really sore the next day.

Yeah only 1. I met someone in an AOL chatroom
when we were like 13 and became good friends. They only lived like an hour away but it took like 15 years to meetup lol. Hung out a few times

Like 24 years ago I met a girl from a nearby town after meeting on alamak. Lol. Wonder if that even still exists. Or chat rooms in general really.

I met one dude who happened to live not far from me. turn out he's a huge pill-head and crushes and snorts pills. I nope'd myself out of that.

went to see a movie with fellow from CE once

met my evil ex fiancee on 4chan

partied a couple times with a musician i met online and collaborate with occasionally

met an old friend by way of a local band message board

edit: and i met a ton of people i've coordinated/communicated with in blockchain development at a conference

Yeah I think I tried it, I must've I was obsessed with the original. Probably my favorite memories pvping in a MMORPG were the guild wars. I remember my friend had a Dwarf Warrior, and I would cast invisibility on us and we'd camp the bottom of the lift at Kelethin. Good times.

I met a bunch of people back when i posted on UltimateMetal.

I think back in the day I went on a date with someone I met on MSN messenger

Plenty. I was exclusive with one for almost a decade.

Yeah, met one of my exes on fb and she ame from Alabama to NY to stay until she had to go back
