Have you ever met an online buddy in person? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

PZelda · 05-19-2009, 01:54 PM

I just met an online buddy (not from here, I know him from elsewhere) yesterday, so this got me thinking. How many online buddies have you guys met in real life?

I've met two SOers in real life, and would love to meet more.

I met Dustin (Dutabi84) for the first time back in 2006, then hung out with him again on my 22nd b-day in 2007. It was a huge blast hanging with him.

I also got to meet Tara when I was in southern California visiting a stepsis back in 2007. It was also a major blast hanging with her... We spent like 5 hours at this restaurant/dance club that she enjoys going to.

I want to travel to Portland at some point this year to visit my fave former roomie (we'd still be roomies if she hadn't moved.

), and meet up with several online buddies who live there. Brad being one of them... It'd be pretty cool if we met up!

funny thing... My roomie and I were actually online buddies first, but we both already lived in the same city, plus we went to college together.

I'm losing count of how many online buddies I've met in real life now.

it is soooo awesome... Not one bad meeting yet, and I've always hit it off with whoever I met up with.

Yesterday/today was just freaking AWESOME... OMG. I am sooooo happy, I had such a huge blast and everything was just so awesome. Unfortunately, the online buddy I met had to leave today.

Yes, several. I met my best friend online in 2004, and have visited her twice. It's much easier for me to get out to see her, since I don't have little kids like she does.

I met an online friend of mine in October 2007. I'd been talking to her since September/October 2004 so had known her for a while. I live near Cambridge and she had moved up to Norwich (a city near Cambridge) to attend the University of East Anglia. We met up in Cambridge and spent the afternoon together. We had a good time.

MickeyMac · 05-19-2009, 05:24 PM

I've met a few people from other forums. I would like to meet people on this forum though.

LuLu Rogers · 05-19-2009, 05:36 PM

I'm hoping to meet up with Tara at some point, and maybe I can swing by Boston and say hi to Janice, then take a turn over to Portland and hang out with Brad. I'm also gonna track Megan down at some point and maybe pay Allison a visit

Nighthawk76 · 05-19-2009, 06:08 PM

No. I would like to though.

I have never even talked to a member of SO on the phone. I would like to do that too.

So are you afraid of crossing the border or something?

She just doesn't want to go through customs.

Yes, and I married one of them. Also I met Chris( name was Barnabas something) from SO circa 2003.
