We know internet has been one of the most important factor in our life.Especially the people born after 1980,who spend a lot of time on computers. At the very first,we're curious about it.Then we're familiar with it.Most are addicted in chatting.So many people go out and meet some strange man or women.I have to say that it's really exciting,that's the reason why people keep seeing net friends.And after that there may some beautiful love stories,may some horrible stories... Have you ever tried this?I did when I was in college.Pity that it's not impressed.

like all of the net users... i chat regularly with unknown people..... its really exciting.. i didn't see even a single person in practical.... this kind of chatting is little dangerous too... many people get attracted to the other's words.. many are scammers, cheaters...... they wont reply if we say that we want to meet them... be careful netigens.........

hi there lisa, I would love to meet any mylotters out there! haha. But when I was in college I met this guy from a social site. Uhmmm, to tell you the truth I expected him to be somewhat so cool and smart. And let me add "cute". Haha. So then I saw him and we shared some points and thoughts about life. Okay, he is not a "cutie" I must admit (I was fooled by his primary photo) ...hahaha I'm bad. I'm sorry. Haha. Then I find him so boring and aloof.

Heck no, and I don't want to. Its more fun writing or chatting. You tend to be yourself and frank about anything. Once you meet the person physically, then you tend to loose that freedom. You begin to get conscious. So lets have fun on the net this way.

I've met two of my online friends in real life. But I had both my parents with me, plus my 4 siblings who are still living at home. And the two people I was meeting brought their parents along, too. We met in a public place, and my mom had spoken to their mom beforehand. I had also spoken to both of the friends on the phone once or twice. So it was a safe meeting (:

I hang with some of them once in a while. It's nice that we can meet in such a bustling environment and be friends with people who would otherwise be total strangers to us. That's one of the great things about the internet. There is always a "but" in every situation. It's nice that we meet people through chat and social network sit BUT let us be sure that the people we meet don't have different agendas in meeting with us. Play it safe, but don't close out on the possibility. Cause it's a nice experience making then your "real life" friends.

It's true that I do believe we can make friends from the internet.Before hanging out with them,we do chat with them for long and sure we'll recognize if it's good or not.

My son and daughter-in-law met on line. They celebrated their tenth anniversary last month and are so happy together! That doesn't mean everyone should run out and meet their net friends. If the urge to do so overcomes common sense, never meet in a secluded place. My kids intended to meet at a restaurant. My daughter-in-law caught the flu and couldnt' make it, but for some unknown reason she gave my son her address. He came to her door and she let him in. He spent the weekend giving her medications, cooking for her and getting her well. She was amazed at his kindness. They make a super pair, but I would have had heart failure had I known she was willing to meet him for the first time in her own home with no roommates around! She is normally very common sense oriented, but that was a bad decision even if he was my son.

Not till now. I have made a few friends through internet but have never met any of them in person. For me, the real world and the virtual world are to different entities and till now these two things have not intersected each other for me. I usually chat to my mates only on net and if I do chat with others, it is just for shake of cultural exchange and to kill time, not for any relationship.

I've never intentionally met someone that I talked with online. However, in a rare coincidence, I was paird up with a guy in a golf tournament one time, and after a few holes of golf, we both realized that we play poker online at the same site and faced each other in many poker tournaments, and chatted back and forth during those tournaments. It's a big, small world.

I have actually met three people offline. I had talked to them for over a year each time though. We would talk so much actually that it was kind of pointless not to meet face to face eventually. I think I got lucky though, because they ended up being the same people they were online. I am still great friends with all three.

Well, I was born before 1980 and I am very much addicted to computer and Internet. As my job involves me a lot with computer work, you can tell its almost 24x7 sometimes for me. Other than my work in job, I spend a lot of time with computer. I love to chat with my friends, family members and surf a lot and I really love to discuss in Mylot. I have got many friends through Internet too. But unfortunately(or I am fortunate?) I have never met an online friend in my life.

Not yet. Never tried also. Generally i dont want also to see my net friends. Let that friend be in net only. Physical visualization may change my attitude to him or her. How was your experience while meeting your net friend? Thank you.
