Meet Internet People

[Tone]

Who here has met someone in person from the internet? (met on internet first, then decided to meet in person). how did that go for you? i wouldnt be surprised if this thread got no responses though, theres not that many people on this forum to ask such a question, most people havent met someone from the net. perhaps you have talked to someone on the phone from the net also.

maybe i should add a more common question. who has used an internet matching site? i suppose myspace counts as one but then there are those other ones meant just for match making where you do advanced searchs and stuff. i really dont like them that much, the people i have met were from messengers.

i wonder what a party of subspace players would be like. a star wars convention of nerds?

Other people don't exist.

[duel pasta]

I sure want to meet you!

[Ewan]

Damnit DTF beat me to it.


But seriously, Tone, we're all computer programs, we don't actually exist, you're the only one who matters in the universe. It's like the Truman show, but on a cosmically larger scale.

One thing you should keep in mind is to not think of people as being "nerds" or anything like that just before you see them in person. Going into it with that kind of perspective only helps you to start off on the wrong foot.

Sit down children and listen to my story of internet ways.

I knew a girl once, whom I met through the internet. We talked and talked for a year or two and one of us finally decided to meet up, so one summer day I hopped onto a train and rode onwards into Sherwood Forest (You foreigners may know it as Nottingham) unaware of what was to happen at the end. Alas the train stopped and I met this girl I knew, however she was more interested in texting a friend instead of greeting me though. The lively chatting girl that I knew on the net had been replaced by this shy individual. So she whisked me into her arms (well, a bus) and took me to her castle (semi-terraced, grandparents) where I lived for 5 days. I shall not bore you with the details of what transpired, because they sure as hell bored me. However, I will sum it up in 5 words; shopping, tv and no sex. After this brief 'holiday' I returned home, never to see her again. Two years later she is pregnant and living in a council house.

The moral of the story?
1) Never meet someone unless you've known them a long time.
2) The person you meet may not necessarily be the same as the one you knew on the net.
3) I'm sure you can think of others.

I met this person online once, and we really hit it off.

Then when I asked where I could meet him, he said:

skankingsam: Can I meet you?
SmarterChild: I dunno. Maybe!

Rodney and I are going on a road trip to Hawaii. Then we're going to drive to Canada and pick up Marco. Then we'll drive to China and leave Marco in a McDonald's, where he will be mistaken for a Chinese chicken with a fruithead, and he will be eaten, solving all of our teamspeak woes.

All my friends use internet and I use internet daily to communicate with them so what's the big deal? I don't have a friend who doesn't use internet. For all you geeks, I have plenty of friends.

But in your case I confirmed your nerdliness to be true!

Epi you're the biggest nerd in the house, numbers do not express.
