Post Have you met internet friends in real life?

I'm pretty sure ppl that do not use the internet find it very creepy, but have you met up with friends that you only know through the internet?

obviously there is the age factor, where younger peeps don't have the ability to travel as easily. but if so - do you plan on meeting someone?


personally:

went to a LAN in Germany to see my old squad, there was about 20 or so people from germany, holland, swiss.

met my current clan a few times - UK only clan, have been paintballing and some lans.

went to Sweden for a special gaming event. met some guys that i dint know that well (from other gaming clans), was a really good weekend.

sry no online daing horror stories just gaming related. although other ppl dont understand it, you get to meet ppl with very similar hobbies and interests, and low and behold they are all normal people (well most).

I met a squadmate from Delta Force 1 last year. Schaft is his username and he turned out to be a first class guy ...just like I had assumed he was from the several years we played DF together. I raise Siberian Huskies and Schaft happened to own one as well that needed a mate. I fixed him up with a beautiful female pup and had a great visit with my virtual friend. He sends me pictures of " Tequila", the pup and says that "Taz" has really taking a licking...I mean liking...to her.
I hope to visit with my friend in person again sometime. I will see him very soon in a server near you....right through my red-dot-scope! Doink!

I was once a paid member of www.americansingles.com. I've got lucky on a few occassions and still converse with some that I met there years ago. If I were a filthy rich man, I would beg King Abullah to marry his wife after he got tired of her western ways, lmao. j/p Your Majesty!
