I have been talking to this lady over 2 years via e-mail that lives right here in my town but have never met her. We met through a mutual friend. She has recently built a new house & has been asking me to come meet her & see her new house so today I am going. I am very excited about it. I hardly ever go anywhere so i'm living dangerously today, lol. She is so much fun on the computer i know she will be in person to. Strange how u can live in such a small town, talk to someone that long & never met them.this is the 2nd time this has happened this summer & the other person was just great & i'm so glad i met her. Have y'all ever done this??

Hi Jo! I'm a bit late on your discussion but here I am! I'm curious as to how it all went? Did you enjoy yourself? That's great that you met someone nearby in which you could maybe spend some real time with! Do tell your story for I'm anxious to hear about it! HUGS!

Oh that will be exciting! How nice that you've found a new friend via e-mail only! And now you are meeting! I supposed this will be the start of a much closer friendship between the two of you. I've not done this actually. I wish I too could experience this but so far I've not so I would like to hear more from you what happened in your next post!Do tell us, okay!

Hi ya ANTIQUELADY Well I have had an online friend who lives about 9 miles down the road from me that I too have never met. She is not well so I am waiting for her to tell when it is ok for me to visit, I guess we have known each other for nearly 2 years or so. I don't want to push her so am leaving it up to her. I really hope that your meeting with your friend went well!

I met my friend Libby in person August of last year. We had known each other slightly less than a year at that point. We met on Yuwie and now she's on myLot too. I definitely didn't regret it and would do it again with a lot of people!

No, I have never met any email friends. This is so great for you to meet her and become friends. I can understand your excitement so please just have some fun and enjoy the visit. It may be the beginning of a life long friendship and that would be so good.

Yassou Aunty, I hope you have a lovely day with your new friend and I'm sure you'll get on, even on line sometimes we know who we will get on with in real life. I once met a woman on line and we got on well, and her and her husband holiday here every June, so we arranged to meet up, and must say got on like a house on fire. I see her every year in June and we meet up several times in the fortnight. When hubby starts saying they should miss it one year and go somewhere else it takes the two of us to persuade him he really won't like wherever it is and to just come back here again. The rest of the year we keep in touch via email.
