have you ever had a date with someone met on a chat?

I would not go near that! If you must, just be sure to meet in a public place. There are a lot of predators on the internet and they are not all men. For that matter, this "girl" could end up being a guy.

Welcome back, codris! Well, LOL in fact I married him . Life is so unpredictable and even until now I still can't believe why I was willing to meet him. I don't think I want to do that now (if I were still single), because you cannot just trust someone over the internet. What if they are a robber or some kind of crazy maniac you don't want to see for the rest of your life. Ah, maybe I'm just being paranoid. However, good luck with your day. Yay!

I honestly have not been in a date with someone I met on a chat. But, I have met several friends from chat. You see the difference? I do not meet people who start wooing me online or asking me out for a date. That just creeps me out. Not only will it make me think that he's either too ugly to pick up girls online or there must be something wrong with him for doing so. Which is why, I only meet people I've become friends with. My boyfriend and I met that way. We met online as friends. He was interested with what I was marketing and I was interested to making a sale. We met at a public area professionally and I explained to him my product, in turn he also explained his product and we became real friends. We also met several other friends we had online and so it goes. He didn't really court me right away, but we became close because I was dealing with a past relationship and he was trying to court some girl who was apparently had no intentions of really becoming his girl. Started talking on the phone a lot, then meeting up for common interests and all. One thing lead to another, and after some time he asked me out on a date. I already knew much of him so I went out with him and the rest is history. I actually always make it a rule for myself and everyone I know that it's quite awkward to be coming up to someone to meet when you or the guy has already started courting you online. It's weird to be sweet on all levels online then you meet with the guy and you're tongue tied and both expect things because of being close online. You see, people may be fun online and all that are good, but you should remember that being hidden (sort of because you don't really see eye-to-eye) gives us the capability to be comfortable and confident. However, when this barrier is no longer there, we tend to use all our senses and thus we need time to adjust before we are comfortable and confident once more. Therefore, it's not a good idea to allow someone to court you online and neither is courting online something that should be tolerated. Meet first as friends before deciding to pursue a relationship into something more. It allows us to be ourselves because we don't have to lose anything, we are just meeting a friend. Thus, putting our best foot forward or our defense mechanisms need to be out. Get my point? further, if the encounter proves to be something plain, then at least we end up adding another name in our list of friends.

I don't guess I've had a "date" with anyone I met on chat. However, pre-chat I met a guy who did come see me. He stayed for several days with me and my kids. We didn't hit it off in a romantic way, but we are still friends. He came to see us that first time about 10 years ago. He actually just stopped by a few months back to see us again! He is happily married to his wife though!

no. is it important or i mean is it interesting make a date with someone in chat (maybe we never see her face) ?

Welcome back Internet is just illusion for me, difficult to trust any body, i will never like to meet any body personally, it will be like inviting headache.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

I have met many people from the internet and one was someone I did date for a while. It didn't work out, and this guy actually tried to lie to my other chat friends about some things. This probably doesn't count though, but I "met" my husband on the internet. My sister worked with him and was trying to hook us up. One day we were all on the internet and we started talking. It's been great ever since!

yeah , I had dated couple of girls I met on internet . I don't see problem meeting a girl as i am boy ..lolz , I will surely go and meet a girl if she wanna see me in person .I don't see anything wrong in that.

i never had a date with someone that i just knew or met in a chat room. but i have one date with someone that i knew from text messaging. if ever one of my friends from mylot or anyone in a social networking site wants to meet me personally, i will accept it.

Yes! It's an awful strange but nice.. You can give it a try Codris. Meeting people in chat is not new at this time. There's nothing wrong in making friends. :)

If I have had some appointment with girls that I have known in the chat, it is necessary to take his collections, but after you were chatting several days or semans I believe that it is possible to see personally, still she remains a people good at this world.

yes i have met with several females from chatrooms or meeting online. one time unfortunately i thought i was talking to a female because of the photos and so forth, but it turned out to be a guy posing as a female! fortunately i dont treat females with disrespect! or else that guy could have fooled me into saying something bad about him. but i didnt..heh heh. (i love wisdom) so, it may be more dangerous for a female than a male..because most people doing kidnapping are guys..it would seem unlikely a female has to kidnap a male..most males will go willingly..especially after a couple of drinks. i mean, proceed at your own risk.

I dont think thats safe. I would never meet guy who i met on a chat!!!! they can pretend to be someone else. have you met her on a cam maybe? i can recommend that first, before you meet her IRL. :)

Yes, I have the same experience with you my friend. And amazing. until now she is still my girlfriend. And she is still the best i have ever had. I really nerveous at the first time i met her. But the point and really important for you, just be yourself. Show her that you are the same person with the first time you chat with her. Good luck friend !!

I met one of my past relationships through the yahoo messanger. He happens to live in the same town that I did so we met up. We became a couple and the relationsip lasted for more than a year. Though nowadays I do not encourage people to meet up or have realtionships through virtual chatting or the like. There are many scammers out there. It is better to play safe than be in danger.

Yes, I've dated with some people I met on chat. My older brother got married with a girl who had no idea who she is but they were chatting everyday and then they've met and after 2 years they got married.

Yes,i did. Just recently,i had a chat friend who asks me to meet him in person. We been chatting for almost a year and been asking me to meet him in person several times. But,our time schedule doesn't meet halfway. Not until last month,it was too abrupt. We were chatting thru net and he asks if he can come to meet me. He asks for my home address and i told him that we meet somewhere near my house. I gave him direction on how to get in my place and then after 15 minutes,we meet in person. That was really unexpected,we talk for an hour and he move on for he had to report on his work. Well,for the record,i never met him alone,i am with my sister and we meet him at the fastfood just steps away from where i lived.

I never had a date with someone that chatted online. I would not go for it, because I find it dangerous to meet someone who is stranger even if we are talking for months and years I still dont find it safe to meet someone. Its your decisions sir to go or not to go. But since you are man I guess there is nothing to worry if you will go for it.

no not me... I am too worried to do something like that. I mean you do hear stories dont you about things like that going wrong... I have just never felt I wanted to. My brother on the hand met a girl on the internet, and he is now in a relationship with her, and has gone to stay with her a few times... even though she lives about 3 hour drive from him. She has even agreed that if they can keep together for 1 year, then she will move down here to be with him, even though she has a son who she will have to bring with her... luckily her son loves my brother, so maybe this is the real thing for him and her. But speaking myself... I could not ever do this.

yeah... i once go out with a friend a met over the net... he is actually my cousins friend... she introduced us and we became friends.. we have talked a lot over the net... and so one time, we decided to finally meet... he went to our office and we just actually ate in a fastfood near the office... then went out to watch a movie... it was just too casual.. and then we went out again after a couple of months... but we are just friends though...
