I was thinking about if someone from myLot asks you if you want to meet up with him/her. I mean he or she got to be be in your area thats for sure and they got to accept obviously to do so and to chat and talk first before anything. It's just something that I was thinking of and thought I would share my thoughts with you and get your opinion on it.

why not...but however you should be careful because you are going to meet a stranger.if the person wants to meet you in a public place on day light i think its ok.but if not better avoid it.i mean is we have to be careful nowaday, coz we dont know what might happens

Always the first two meetings, you have to meet publicaly. It's just better and safer, plus you'll have the chance to know him or her better.

Yes I would like too if they want to meet me in person and if I find them nice people then why not. I think it is okey to make friends to those people you know who has the same interest as you.

But if you do have the same interest and everything and live way far appart. You can't really get together.

hi,its happened in my case ,my friend.One member of my area give his real mail i.d., and phone number and house address to me and invited to his house for the festival recently celebrated in india.Of course i couldn't attend ,as we also have to celebrate in our house.Good understanding of our personal feelings only through my lot discussions.But if you too want to meet,you have a long assess of member to whom you want to meet.You can find the members mentality by observing responses to different discussions and discussions they started.Have a nice day.

If it's someone I talk to regularly. I've been exchanging emails with a couple people I've met through mylot and we've been getting to know each other, and I wouldn't mind meeting up for coffee or something like that. I've met people I've met online before and I've yet to have a bad experience - I'm just careful in who I get close with and who I give personal information to.

Getting to know who you want to meet is really important, especially like you said, you can't give out any personal information just to anyone.

Usually I'm very cautious with new friendships in real life, the internet helps to be more open and social person.. if an online friendship is to turn to a real life friendship I would prefer to take a long time knowing the other person before actually meeting them offline and I must be sure if it's only for a friendly meeting or there's a possibility of romance/dating.. I have nothing against the later but feelings must be the same at both ends as I don't need any more complications in my life ..

You could develop feelings, but it's all about friendship in the begining.

Take a look in my profile at the friends there , I want to meet all of them ! (especially the girls) The problem is they all live so far away from me ! Maybe mylot would develop in the future to contain a cheap transport service so they can bring people together physically like they are doing it intellectually in the present !

I don't think it will be possible for mylot to provide us with any transports.

Honestly I would love to do both. I would love to adopt a child that I could raise and watch grow up in every aspect of the word then I would like to be a foster parent and help children who are in between and need the help.

Hmmm...but what does adoption has to do with this discussion? This is about meeting someone from myLot.

i think if you have carried out the usual checks, spoken to the person on the telephone (very important to establish genda) and have had long enough to establish an on line relationship, i see no problems to meeting someone you have met on here blessed be

i would definate meet someone from here, I mean I am not looking for love, so it would just be as a friendship thing, but if we have alot of interest in common i would not have a problem meeting someone, of course it would be in a public place and i probably would not be going alone.

Well thats good to know. Maybe I'll try that since it has been on my thoughts and interest.

perhaps i might.it really depends on the location of meet up, the length of time we've known each other.. meeting new friends is always nice.

i think i would meet someone from mylot. But i have to consider a lot of things before doing so. first, i must consider what i know about the person, a lot or less. Second, i must take into mind, the length of time i have known the person. Third, i will consider the place of meet ups. It's hard to give your trust to someone you only talk to through the internet. It's not advisable to just give your trust to someone online because they might not be the person they are claiming to be. there is no clear and concrete way of determining whether the person you are dealing with is a good person or not. proper caution should be exercised at all times.

BVery good point and answer and it's true. These days you just can't anyone.

First of all, I would say that one should really get to know the person online before they even consider meeting them in person. Secondly, make sure that you meet in a public place. Bring friends, if you can. You should never, ever meet someone for the first time in a non-public place, like at your home or their home. It just is not safe at all. As for me, would I meet someone from here? It would really depend. i would definitely have to have a strong trust in that person and would hopefully have been talking to them for at least a few months first. Maybe even half a year to a year. I would also like to have some phone conversation with the perosn before meeting them in person. That would help to reassure me as well that they are who they say they are.

To have trust in the person you want to meet, is that you both got to build that trust.

i don't think there would be a problem meeting some one through internet. there are people who have become close friends by means of chatting only and i've seen myself with my friends..so its not a bad idea to meet through mylot.

If one of my friends was in my area i would defunately meet up with him/her.I would however not give out any information like home address and the like.I think meeting in a public place with lots of people around would be great for me, maybe even go with my friend.I would however be very selective on who to meet especially friends thta i communicate with alot and feel comfortable talking to.

Just make sure that you 'know' he/she first before deciding to meet eachother. I'm sure that you are able to judge their personalities from the way they share their opinion or conversation with you
