Yeah, email your good friend the details :)

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.

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. :)

i forgot where we were suppose to meet :(

Sure, tell everyone else on AB what they are like. :)

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.

this is what i would suggest.. =) all the best

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:-)
