<p>...you meet someone in person from the internet? Just wondering what you guys would think of this.</p>
<p>I guess it depends on the situation, but I would say generally yes.</p>
<p>NOT CREEPY!!! >:-D (hehehehe)</p>
<p>dude, thousands of people get married because of the internet!! think online dating? Also - i know people who got married after meeting each other through a MMORPG!</p>
<p>It is kinda creepy.</p>
<p>It is creepy.</p>
<p>I hope colboy is being sarcastic because meeting your wife/husband through an MMORPG is creepy too.</p>
<p>It’s quite common on sports forums. People will go meet up for games or throw draft parties, etc.</p>
<p>It’s not creepy. Why the f-ck would it be creepy? Just because they’re on “the Internet” doesn’t mean you’re not still communicated with a living, breathing human being.</p>
<p>That said, I’ve never met anyone from the Internet*. I can, however, imagine that it would be somewhat awkward. But not creepy.</p>

<li>Well, I have both bought something from someone and sold something to someone via Cragislist. But I didn’t “befriend” any of them on the Internet prior to meeting them.</li>
</ul>
<p>I’ve met a couple of people who I’d been friends with on the internet for about three years. It was fun, the three of us went to a restaurant and talked. They live in a different state, so I can’t visit them again for a while, but I did have a good time.</p>
<p>I don’t get the concept of online dating, though. How can you make a romantic connection via the web?</p>
<p>No.</p>

<p>I have friends that I met online when I was 14 that I still talk to and hope to meet in person one day (we’re friends on facebook and have sent each other things in the mail so I know they’re not crazy stalkers). My mom has done some safe online dating. So no, I don’t think it’s weird.
If it was someone you met online a month ago that you now want to meet and get married to or something, that is really weird. But otherwise not really.</p>
<p>Friendship-wise, it’s fine, so long as you don’t meet up with them in some creepy, deserted place. Dating-wise, if it works for you, then go with it, I guess. I mean, starting a romantic/sexual relationship online before you meet the person could result in some awkward situations, but plenty of people use dating websites and the like. It’s just a way to meet people, not much different than meeting somebody in a class you’re taking. However, if the relationship doesn’t take place anywhere but online, that’s getting into more questionable territory, where it depends on the situation.</p>
<p>I dunno, it’s kinda odd, but it could be fine… just do it in a public place (like a restaurant or something).</p>
<p>Sort of. I guess I can’t say much because I met my current girlfriend on a message board.</p>
<p>I’ve met up with a lot of older men through Craigslist. One wanted to buy me a car, but I refused. One wanted to pay for my education, but I passed on that too (as hard as it was). One interesting part of my experience is that I saw the biggest stick I had ever seen. I never realized it could be that big.</p>
<p>its fine and not really creepy.</p>
<p>i met my boyfriend on a harry potter “school” site. :P</p>
<p>Well if you’re highly educated, and you’re able to detect their sense of truthfulness and likewise high intellect, then everything SHOULD be fine… But still take caution.</p>
<p>Is it any different than a friend giving you a number to a girl/guy youve never met?</p>
<p>No. As long as you are careful and use your sense not to meet that person in a ‘dark, deserted place’ ;)</p>
<p>It’s not creepy at all, just taboo cause it isn’t the cool thing to do. Although I would say starting anything “more than friends” before you even meet each other wouldn’t be very wise.</p>
<p>randomgandeur, why is that creepy? if people have similar interests and get along while playing game, what’s wrong with meeting that person and developing a relationship?</p>
