Meeting Up

[Samishlol]

Would you meet up with someone if you was dating them or wanted to meet them in real life because there your best online friend?

If you would.. would you do it on your own or with a friend?

[dirrty]

how would someone be my best friend if ive never met them in rl before :S
&
why would i go out with someone without even meeting them before :S

rather stupid imo.

rather stupid imo.That's why I called it best online friend if you read thepost properly. And internet relationships do work.

Anyways please answer my question.

[whitebengal]

Online relationships don't work they're pointless....You can't tell who someone really is just because of a few IM's , texts and phone calls.

I'm old enough to meet anyone I like I'd do it alone but carefully. I would meet them in a public place...The usual safety procedures.

If I was younger I'd take a friend or make them come to see me :p

[Nixt]

I've met two people from the internet. I'm still alive. Follow the right safety procedures and you'll be fine.

[GoldenMerc]

Ive met 4 people from the net and erm im fine, I went with a friend to meet Actor and execel.

[Frisky]

I've met about.. 6?

Though one was a group of us.

If your careful and make sure that when you meet them that your out in the open where people can see you if something was to go wrong. Then theres loads of people to see and help if you get into trouble. I've never had this situation but I've been stood up once.

[Samishlol]

The reason I ask this is because I want to meet this boy I know online and I trust him like hell. He lives around 20 minutes from me.

[whitebengal]

've been stood up once.

Omg! What happened? Do tell! :P

How can you be sure you REALLY trust him though? If you decide to meet him, either meet half way in a public place or take a mate with you. Just be careful that's all you can do :)

[Samishlol]

I just do. I've known him ages and I've seen him on webcam loads.

[LoveHateHero]

Yeah, I had this massive bond with this girl over msn and myspace and oneday we decided to meet eachother. I didn't tell anyone because they would be like "it's a 40 y/o man". When I knew it wasn't as she went to the same school as me but our school it split into two, we have a lower school for years 7, 8 and 9 and an upper school in the other part of the town for years 10, 11 and sixth form. I was in year 11 at the time and she was in year 9. We finally met after months of constantly talking on msn. Now we hate each other xD.

[Leetzgirl]

My real life girlfriend gone with my best mate and they havent even met

:rolleyes:


Dont ask :|


p.s

My best mate lives in london, and my ex girlfriend lives in up north, and i known my best mate before i moved to live with my mum ;)

[Samishlol]

Do they plan to see each other?

[Leetzgirl]

Yehhh,
we plan to meet up, it like a double date haha.
but pmsl, i dont think my ex will like my best mate.

who knows anyways.

[Samishlol]

Oright. Me and my boyfriend tend to meet up as we only live 20 minutes away from each other. I met him on Faceparty.com and ever since that we have got talking and really like each other. I've seen what he looks like and everything.

[.::BaRkSeH::.]

I've met two people from this forum. I was 15 when I first met them, I think... And, I went on my own because I'd spoken to them on mic/webcam before.

[Excellent]

I wouldn't meet anyone off the web until I've seen them on webcam and talked to them via Skype or something. And still I'd request to meet in a public place.

[L?KE]

Agreed. I was gona meet someone a while ago, but my mum's all paranoid. :P

Doesn't bother me. But yeah everyone who's posted is right about the public place stuff.

Good luck, hope it works out.

[shizzle]

It might be a fake webcam.

[cocaine]

i hate safety freaks, as long as you use your common sense (ie, dont meet at 3am in a dark alley) you should be able to go meet anyone :rolleyes:


It might be a fake webcam.

explain?

[The Professor]

It might be a fake webcam.

I honestly hope you're just posting that to be irritating, otherwise you appear to have a serious paranoia issue!

If you've seen them on webcam and spoken to them via mic/phone, go for it! I'd take a friend to be doubly sure if you're not all that confident about it :)

no no no I know what he's on about...If he's thinking about the same thing I am then quite a while ago....Some bloke managed to get a girl to meet him because he had somehow set this cam up that looked like she was speaking to someone younger....Can't remember what it was...Either like a pre-recorded one I can't remember ...But he got round it some how he got sent down for it anyway...dirty freak!

But still even by seeing someone on cam...speaking to them for a long time...still doesn't show someones true colours. It's always best to use good judgment and take someone with you for a first meet. :)

Wow, serious? It sounds like a post someone would make just to be irritating, such is the way of the forum these days :( Sorry!

Thats actually quite worrying. Do you happen to have a link to the news story?

[whitebengal]

I'm in the middle of trying to find it now lol...It was quite a while ago should be able to find it if i keep looking

[patrick.]

LOL SAAMM
You live near me :]
that's funny.

[Reptar]

I don't see how it could've been a fake webcam... That's like impossible? Or is it?

[patrick.]

could've been multilinked up to a different webcam in another convo maybe?
creeps will do anything like that to get their hands on someone ):

[Reptar]

I don't see who would go through all that trouble when they can find some sap and not even show them a webcam and still meet up with them. Idk, confusing but yea. I've never personally met up with someone, but a few of my friends in r/l used to played and so yeah.

[Joshuae]

Some webcams have video card abilities.
Like a memory card, you could say to play pre-made videos. :)

[patrick.]

Webcams shouldn't have that tbh.
Webcam companies are wastemen.

[YoManGo!]

i guess ive met a lot of people from birmingham that i first talked to on myspace and whatnot. i dont think theres anything wrong with it as long as they aren't living like missions away, all mine have been local kids...

just go to a public place

[Reptar]

I guess so. Meeting up with people really isn't bad.

[whitebengal]

I don't see how it could've been a fake webcam... That's like impossible? Or is it?

There are ones similar to this...I haven't found the news article...It might have been on that watchdog programme can't remember now

http://www.fakewebcam.com/ :eusa_wall

[Markness.]

Take a knife, cs gas and have credit in your mobile just to be on the safe side :)

Nahh, just meet in a busy area and you'll be fine

[Teyauna.]

I would never do it period. There are close friends I've met on Habbo and I've never even given out my e-mail, let alone meet them in real life.

[FunerealSerap]

It doesn't matter what age you are, if you're going to meet someone from the internet, NEVER GO ALONE.

How do you know there isn't going to be 5 or 6 big strong men with a van round the corner waiting to kidnap you and god knows what else??

I've personally met two people off the internet. Once I took my mum [Hey, I was 13] and once I was with a large group of friends.

NEVER go alone.

And you can NEVER trust someone off the internet until you know them irl.

Sure they may seem all nice and trustworthy online, but a LOT of people do that to lure people into doing something.

Just be careful. That's the first and most important rule of meeting anyone off the internet. Be careful at all times.

[Wrestlemania]

I've actually met up with someone who I thought from the online side was a really nice guy, but when I met up with him he threatend me and stole my habbo account and furni.

After that I've only met up with about 5-6 people, and one of them lived like 20 miles away from me and all we done was have a tea, go round mine on the xbox before xbox360 were out and play footy with a couple of mates of mine and then he went again.

but there was this one girl who I shared a kiss with and that was pretty neat because she was fit and I mean fit, but now she hates me as I put a horrible picture of her all over the internet with her in her bra because she spat on my dog

LOL, are you being serious? If yes, why did you let that happen? :S

On topic: Most people online aren't paedophiles so the chances are it's safe to meet them, like everyone else has said use your common sense and meet them in a public place is the best option if you're worried.

What did he say to you? "GIVE ME YUR HABBO DETAILZ OR ILL STABZOR U!1" And your sad for putting pictures of a girl on the internet because she spat on your dog, spit can be cleaned but reputation can't.

Hi,
Even if you have 4/5 friends these so called "5/6 big men" can still over power you no matter how many friends so lol? :rolleyes:

[Reptar]

Ok so, if someone tried to rob me for my Habbo account, I'd tell them to go get a life.
I'm gonna shank you for your virtual furnis.

[dirrty]

I've actually met up with someone who I thought from the online side was a really nice guy, but when I met up with him he threatend me and stole my habbo account and furni.

OMG LOL
that is just pathetic on both sides tbh.

[PyrokasSister]

That is quite pathetic tbh.. you should of just told him where to go seeing as he has got the guts to say something so stupid. But basically all you need to do is stay safe when you meet them, My mum is a police officer and the storys are not very nice to hear about what people have done to other girls. So I'm pretty aware of how they lure you in but some aren't as fortunate so just try to be careful but have fun :)

[PaintYourTarget]

I've bumped into Beth (was on this forum but left now) at a few gigs and ended up going out with her mate - but that was a proper get on every train possible in my spare time kinda thing, not an online relationship.

Tommo saw me at an Enter Shikari gig, but we didn't talk, which was a let down.

What happened to Tommo, i hope its the same person im thinking off.

[Jaiisun]

If you're sure, then go meet them. You could go alone - or, you could go with a friend, and tell them to take a friend - then it's a little less awkward.

I met my girlfriend on Habbo. We spoke for ages, years in fact. We always spoke and we were always on webcam, so I knew she was who she said she was.

Then, one day, I hadn't text her for 6 months, but I did and told her I was going to the theme park. She text back and said she was going the same one too.

We didn't plan on meeting, but I seen her, and all we said to each other was "hi" (I was with friends and she was with her family, so it was a little awkward). Then we met more and more from there.

Now, we've been together three times (this is the third) and it's been 15 months, 6 days, 2 hours, 15 minutes now! ;P (Sad that I know that, but it was on new year, so it's easy to work out!)

;].

Tommo from Telford? Think his forum name is Kasabian?
If him, then he's "busy" doing his Year11 exams, I think. I'll give him a text when I cba.

[Jongo]

The people who meet up with paedophiles are the stupid ones. It's usually the case that the kid knows how old they are, and they still set up to meet. If you don't know them well enough via means of visual communication, just don't go there.

I think on-line 'friends' should stay the way they are.

[Virgin Mary]

Yes, sorry but you have to be stupid if you meet someone from the internet down an alley or in a forest or something.

[Reptar]

That's a bit obvious now. "Oh, I know. Lets meet up in that freaky alley way. Sounds like a plan!"

[Decode]

That's why I called it best online friend if you read thepost properly. And internet relationships do work.

Anyways please answer my question.
Internet relationships dont work, they are sad, it means you have no life, and they end up like this:

[Excellent]

The only way your going to get raped or kidnapped is if you go alone to somewhere like a lonely street. Always go with a friend and meet in a place like town or something, if he tries anything all you have to do is shout for someone and he's done.

[FunerealSerap]

Hi,
Even if you have 4/5 friends these so called "5/6 big men" can still over power you no matter how many friends so lol? :rolleyes:

Everyone knows if you're taking friends, to have them look from afar then magically "bump into them".

That way someone can phone the police.

Logical thinking a bit past your mind span? :rolleyes:

[Twinnes]

What you should do is let your parents know and ask if they can come with you? That's what I would do.

[Hiro]

I've met someone off the net and everything is going super..

[BlueEyedSarah]

I didnt meet people from online until I was 18+ because your legally known as an adult. I suggest you go with friends, do not meet them on your own and make sure you meet them in a place you know well. Also if they are over 18 and your under 18 best not to meet them - for one thing it is illegal. Follow the safety rules. Make sure your parents know your meeting someone from online too and give them details of your contact number and maybe even the person your meeting contact number. Also let your parents talk to the person before hand, let them see the person on webcamera and hear them on micraphone.

[verda]

What you should do is let your parents know and ask if they can come with you? That's what I would do.

lol talk about taking something too far..

[JessicaLOL]

obviously meeting them is the best thing 2 do
or do ya wanna sit on the internet n talk 2 them all ya lyf.

[bef:]

'' OO I WUDNT MEET SUM1 ITS AGAINST DA SULAKE WAY'

hsm3 beth LOL

[Abbie.]

idk if id meet up with someone online,
mostly because most of the people i talk to that idk irl are from england or scotland, and dont live on the same island, and it would be too much bother lols

[beth]

bumped into me?! aha. you make it sound accidental.
but yerrr, as long as you trust 'em. meet 'em (:

[EverSteve]

met up with 6-7 people...

I dont see the point of people saying its sad meeting people online. Some atchually do work....but some dont. Depends on your personality normally! but generally love in online relationships is full of **.

[buttons]

i think it's okay if you meet up with like a gang of people with ur own friends and stuffffff i know some people tht have.

[Zak]

Would you meet up with someone if you was dating them or wanted to meet them in real life because there your best online friend?

If you would.. would you do it on your own or with a friend?

I would probably take a friend, just so it wouldn't be.. awkward..

It would only be if I knew them really well though, although I am 6 foot 2 and rather old so what they going to do :P

[leah]

Yeh you should meet if you've become close friends with him then give it a try, obviously follow the right safety procedures, goodluck. :)

[lew!]

with the fake webcam thing, webcammax does it..
You can change the source to a webcam, picture, movie or your screen.

And you can then set it to your screen and record somone on webcam.. then later when its finished recording you set your source to the movie file and it looks like your the person on webcam.

I did it ages ago.. Lol. I pretended that i was this boy cus my best mate wanted to know if he was cheating with this girl so i went on his account and fake webcam '(ecorded from night before) and she hought it must be him and it turnt out he was cheating loooooool
