Make sure Chris Hanson isn't there first. Just kidding. I wouldn't advise on it, but ya know, public place, make sure someone not coming knows where you are, that sort of thing. Good luck.

You should be just fine, and probably have tons of fun. I've just been brought up in the whole internet people are the evil monsters in your closet type of household, so my worriness leaks out occasionally. Have a good time.

Stay in public places at all times. Have a cell phone on you in case of emergency. Don't let them be alone with any of your food or drink. Use common sense and enjoy yourself. :)

Yep. That's it! I've met 'normal' people from the internet IRL. I've met some flat out weirdos without the internet in IRL too!

That's a good thing :) You'll be able to gauge your friend's gut reaction to the person as well.

Yeah -- remember that you don't really know someone until you've seen how they behave under stress. That's what separates the seemingly nice folks (who turn evil when there is trouble) from the real folks who can maintain their values when things get rough. If you limit your trust of someone accordingly, you can save a lot of headaches... regardless of how you met them.

I've had meet ups with internet contacts before and it always turns out good. Twice I met someone at a restaurant, (with hubby), and twice at group meetings arranged over the internet. Each time resulted in meeting nice people, and making long term contacts.

Don't have any expectations. You may be disappointed if they are nice OR nasty, and you expected otherwise. Just go as if you are meeting someone from ANYWHERE for the first time. Enjoy yourself. You already have some things in common (AB, and I assume other things, if you are meeting). Talk about them, if you prefer not to give too much information about yourself for a while.

MOST people on AB are great people, but you know that. Enjoy yourself. ;-)

I've met people from online friendships and they have always turned out very well. I've even had them in my bed...okay so they were both other ladies and my husband was there, too...okay this is sounding worse and worse LOL!!! Actually it was a fun evening as we watched blooper tapes from a convention they went to and they had driven all across the country just to visit all their internet friends. And I've met up with some at restaurants or truck stops as they travel through the area. Just be cautious but don't think the worse before you meet them. Meet them with joy and excitement:-)

Thanks, Jodie LOL!!! It is rather hard to explain but we all had a wonderful time. I know some people think only weirdos must be out there and like what are the people at home thinking this? They are just people too. Sure be cautious but don't miss out on meeting great people.
.
I met one sweet woman with strange woman online and he told her that there were no such things as virtual friends, online friends, they were all crackpots, weirdos. He wanted her to give up all her so called friends. Instead she threw a huge get together at her home as they had a fishing camp in the Adirondaks. About 20 people showed up. And they had a great time!!!
Avatar Jodie44 Jul, 19 2008 at 04:52 PM
Sounds like fun!! The AB get-together we had last October was kinda like that.
It's a shame we have to be so on guard, but yeah. The nut jobs are out there.
Avatar Galeanda Jul, 19 2008 at 05:02 PM
I wish I could have gone to that one but I guess I moved to soon from CA. They were planning one here in NY but then we had really bad weather and had to cancel and haven't heard any new plans. Maybe one day:-)
