Sorry about this one.

As all of our top posters either: Get banned, Go AWOL, Die or turn out to be an MSB alt, I thought I'd pad the forum out a little with some waffle worthy of being merged into the gibbering thread. While MailMonkey is awol however, I'll try my luck with a thread.

__________

Have you ever met someone off the Internet? Bluelight or elsewhere? How did it go? Did they live up to their online persona? Any bad experiences, or warnings? Met any dangerous people who deceived you on the Internet?

As Bodda and BHM have expressed interest in attending a B'ham EADD meet-up it might be a useful time to hear about them.


Any online dating? or group meets?

Any cool stories at all?


____________

I've met 2 people off the 'net in my time, but this was many years ago. I've never used a forum (for more than a few posts) outside of bluelight.

First was a friend I met in dreamcast chat room when I was just 15 (Met him 3 years later). In the chatrooms he was a legend, he bigged himself up as being a hero IRL also... but truth was he was a little strange... took him for a night out and introduced him to MDMA, which he loved and we had a nice, celebratory moment of shaking hands. But went downhill after that.... he ended up writing an email complaining about my hospitality; bitterness creeped into the relationship and ended up having to discontinue speaking with him because of his unpredictability. He swore revenge on me once. Dangerous to be involved with someone of that mentality.



Second time, I met a girl in a chatroom and we clicked amazingly. Years later of sharing emails and emotions, we met. It went amazingly well, we clicked IRL just like the chatroom. Could have turned into a great romance...

...but on the way home from seeing her I had a 75mph collision on the M5 which nearly killed me in a car which had no air bag. I broke the steering wheel with my face.


Suffice to say, the car was written off and I had no means of seeing her again. She then got in a relationship with a horrible, evil man who destroyed her phone as he was jealous of my contact with her and got her pregnant. All I ever received was a letter in the post every few months saying she was ok but couldn't give me a return address. I was seeing many girls IRL, but my interest and worry was always with her.

3 years later we met again. I was in serious trouble IRL and needed someones help and turned to her as escape, but she was uncaring, unempathetic and treated me like an idiot for incurring my problems. When I saw what a cold person she was I snapped and we fell out. Never to speak again.














Yeah, I'm pretty rubbish at online meets.
 
no, doubt i could stop myself from awol-trolling the poor fuckers. distance shot on home forum of said member looking lonely and confused miles from home would be far too tempting a prospect to resist


and theres no way im attending any meet up, so get that right out of your head. if all the girls attend, and i get to make the drinks - then perhaps i'll consider it. strictly as an act of compassion
 
Met someone in 2001ish on t'net. Talked online for about 3 yrs, including for a year on the phone over many hours. Changed my mind about wanting something more. But met him in 2005 and once more because I thought it was the right thing to do, as I promised I would. Went ok, but we no longer speak, too many bad memories and unpleasantness attached to the whole relationship

Met Nerdboy at the same place as the guy above in a previous forum I used to post on, in about 2003. He moved into my house in about mid 2005. He's still here. He's got his own space n rooms tho, otherwise one of us would end up commiting homicide upon the other. He's insanely quiet and introverted everywhere but at home, where he's the opposite way and talkative and TL;DR.

Met D** on a horror torrent site, knew him from the same forum I knew the two above from as well. Bonded over music hugely and he sent me the bestest mixtape/CD ever created and I cried after the first 4 tunes and most of the way through the whole thing. Spent a couple of years talking on the phone for ages n ages. Totally accidentallly got tickets for the same night for one of the Pavement reunion gigs in 2010. Went to meet and say hello. Nerdboy was there too. It went well.

And that's it. 3 people in about 14 yrs. And this was when ICQ, AIM and IRC were top of the range chat clients, lols. No Facebook either then, thank fuck.

I'm generally good at relationship n that.

Loads. All EADD/BL folk (some from the US forums who happened to be in the UK at the time). Couldn't really say how many for sure but probably 20-30 altogether. Albeit some of 'em very briefly. A few I got to know well. A number of 'em no longer with us :(

I'd be more specific but am off to bed, suffice to say I've yet to meet a wrong 'un from BLand. Literally all stars one and all. Really. BL folk are just the bizniz. Imo, ime. ymmv, etc, etc.

Looking forward to adding more to my met and <3'd tally soon enough :)
 
I've met a couple people IRL, both from a marijuana forum I used to post on a lot more.

One was a frequent poster who I'd discussed other drugs with, and lived near NYC at the time I lived there. When 2 of my friends from MD came up to visit he came into the city to chill (one of my friends from home was a forum member too), and we spent a few hours chilling, doing Dilaudid, benzos and smoking mad weed. He seemed kind of fake IRL, like making himself up to be bigger than he was (we were both only ~19 at the time). He was also kind of weird, but it wasn't a bad time.

The other was a moderator on the same forum and has since become one of my few real friends in life. I went out of my way and did him a big favor when I didn't even know him, and it ended up having a big positive impact on him. He always remembered that and we continued to talk online (and then on the phone occasionally) when we needed to chat, since we both really got each other. Despite living 1000+ miles away we're very similar people. Then 4 years after we first met I decided to take a road trip to see him. Never met him before, but had a good feeling, stayed at his place a few days and had a great time-like we'd been friends forever. Continued to talk to him after that and ended up seeing him briefly a second time on another road trip.

More recently I've met a couple of people in the local mmj community through various online means, and they're always really nice people (more authentic than many of the other stoner-types around here).
 
Only one Pavement track on the whole 3 discs so thar

Pavement are a bit special and require patience and a willingness to diversify one's taste. So I'd try your best to avoid them ;p... I half remember a smart girl telling you that once iirc. Tell a guy not to push the shiny red button marked 'do not press' .. and well .. the obious happens

SHM likes em, cos he knows what's good n that ...

'I've got style, miles n miles, so much style that it's wasting, so much style that it's wasting!
 
Got talking to someone after being a nuisance on public transport and it ended up being a BL mod, seemed nice enough, not sure he felt the same way of me though :) all other bl intentional encounters have been good enough albeit brief.

Met some lads of a gaming site (CSS) for some tournament, was pretty fucking awkward I must admit for the first few hours, took some Dutch courage to get a conversation flowing, I fear dating sites though incase I get catfished.
 
I've done online dating - met some great guys and met a couple that irl were very different to the person they were online. Thankfully never had any problems with being stood up, time wasters etc. I think it really depends on what your meeting up for and your online activity with the person/s before hand.
 
Used to mod a small music / festivals forum back in 2001 - 2003 and met a few people from that to say hello to at Reading festival one year because of that. Stayed in touch with one person from that and they visited me for a night out at uni because of that although I'd never have called him a friend really. In fact the night he came to visit at uni he was a liability! Had to remove him from a friends house party for being lairy, then he vomited all over my walls in my student house. Haven't seen him since then although he is still on my facebook.

So not much luck meeting people off the Internet. I'd probably attend a BL meet if it was in a pub in my city and I could just turn up for a pint with little effort though.

A friend of mine has had more luck though, he met a girl from America on chat roulette
and later became the first couple to marry as a result of it. Was on the news and everything.
 
Never met anybody from the internet and never will, people can make themselves look completely different online, you have no way to assess their true nature properly, I generally have a problem trusting others, there's no chance I'd be able to trust random strangers from a website.

That is really awesome!! It is rare (for some of us) to meet and befriend people like that, that we just really click with and get each other. Hang onto those friendships as throughout life you will find that real, true, legit friend are few and far between. I have tons of acquaintances but few really true loyal friends.

Is that the same for people you chat with on here? I know that people can make themselves seem and look completely different to what they are irl but I have the impression that a lot of the regular posters in here are a sound bunch of folks that I would happily meet :).

I don't only post on here, there were quite a few forums I used to frequent, my comment was general towards all online communities, there's really no way to assess somebody's true character from what you read online, they might trick you or lead you to have a different opinion. Honestly I don't see the point of mixing real life and online life, I like to keep the two well separated, I mean the most I'd do with people from forums is add them on facebook, but to meet in actual person, no way.
 
I have met alot of people online. Mostly through various chat programs. I also was a member of BME and met some people through that site. I eventually got banned for like 2 years for talking shit, but thats a bit off topic. I started doing this at the age of 19. I lived in a huge city and it was rather easy to meet women near me.

I went to a BME convention and did whats called a pull. Its basically putting some giant hooks in your back and tying them to a rope and another person who also has hooks. I did that and then got really fucked up and met some goth chicks. Nothing really serious came out of being on BME, just some casual hook ups here and there. (not complaining, those women were freaky, they also had problems) I remember some chicks were into bondage and all sorts of weird shit.

I have met and dated more women then off the internet they I really care to say. Lets just guesstimate at about 4 relationships came out of it. I don't really count stuff that lasted less than a month or two. They were all pretty much the same in many ways. Most were punk rock, goth, and emo type chicks with piercings and tattoos. Most of them drank and used drugs. They all smoked cigarettes.

At that time I was a really into skating and had long hair and yeah I am heavily tattooed and back then I had a ridiculous amount of piercings so I guess I attracted those sorts of women.

So anyways yeah I met one women and dated her for 3 years and lived with most the time we dated. (it was like being married, my friends referred to her as my wife, lol) It was a really great relationship and well she just kinda let herself get addicted hardcore and fucked up her life really bad. She ended up committing a serious crime and it caught up to her. She is still on probation. I think she got like 7 years probation. She had a clean record and never had even used her plea for justice. The thing was she just stopped pulling her weight. I was doing all the cooking and cleaning and I made more money and that really seemed to bother her as my line of work was rather easy and lucrative. So she would kind of just try to make up her lack of funds in blowjobs and well that shit didn't fly. This just happened near the end and she never pulled her shit together.

Anyways I dumped her and we did talk and meet up to fuck every now and then for a while for several years but never got back together. So I guess you could say we stayed friends. I did stay true to her the whole time we dated and never cheated on her. She really took care of me when I got bad on alcohol, I'll give her that. Like I said we staid friends.

I met this one chick who rocked my world. I should have mentioned her first because I met her when I was 20. She was just my type. She was so beautiful and we were into the same stuff. She did massive amounts of drugs and was into tattoos, art, drinking, and I just really liked her. We dated on and off for a couple years and then kinda fucked every now and then.

The thing is I still talk to her. I think I have known her ten years now. We both had relationships and moved but we kept meeting up and fucking. I actually just talked to her the other day. I might go down and see her. It has always been an open relationship for the most part and I was cool with that because there was never any drama. I could always hit her up when I was single and get laid. She was kinda flighty but that was OK cuz that is just who she was.

I met this goth chick that was 18 when I was 21 and she had like 20 piercings and more tattoos than me. I am not sure how she pulled that off. She was really cute and nice. The thing was she was looking to get married and have babies. It was weird because about 4 months into the relationship her mother called me and was like "why don't you ask her to marry you." I was not trying to get married. She was really clingy. She would just latch on to me every where we went and she really just wanted to sit around and watch movies and fuck. I was drinking alot at the time and she was cool with it.

I dated this goth chick who did some modeling when I was like 20 and she was really cute. It didn't last but a month or so but she left an impression.

I hooked up with this lil' redneck chick but her family was really annoying so after a month I was done.

Then there were a good deal of flings and one night stands. All in all it was pretty cool. I lived in a big city so it was rather easy to meet women near me.

You could talk to a woman on webcam so you would know what she looked like.

There were a couple women I met and after five minutes we would be like OK I don't think we like each other.

I did get stood up once. It was kinda weird but shit happens.

Honestly I really don't want to put a number of women I met online because I really already sound like a man-whore.

Sorry the post was kinda long but hey I did meet alot of women online. I never really told my friends I met these chicks online. I would always make up some bullshit story about how we met. I dunno why I was embarassed about using the internet, but really it was a really easy way to meet women.

I haven't really met anyone online lately. Lately I had been in a few long term relationships and I have a couple open type relationships for when I am single that I have kept going over the years including one chick I had met online about ten years ago.

I only really talked about the women that stuck out in my mind. I don't want to bore everyone.

Met my lady online via MSN through a friend. She only lived local so we eventually met up, liked each other, and are still together 10 years later :)

Also met a bloke via a music forum and went round to his house for a few brews and to DJ for a bit. He was a really cool and I should say hello again sometime soon as it's just circumstance that it hasn't happened again.

First time I met someone online was when I was around 15, and although it went alright it was a little strange socially. Online and on the phone it was fine, but we never quite clicked when it came to the real world. Think that mainly down to me not having enough social skills at the time.

I think the internet has done a lot a good when it comes to thinks like this. Obviously there are some horror stories but mostly it leads to people with similar interests meeting up and having a good time. There are also lunatics but I suppose I've been lucky so far.
 
Never been big on the meetup thing. Never done online dating either. Which is a relief for everybody involved.

A few years back I found a site which allowed me to contact a number of girls whom I would pay to wear a pair of combat boots for anything from a week to several months, with the final fee being determined by the length of time involved. It was a pretty big earner for those involved; as you can imagine, it takes a lot of work for them to break in those boots and get them all scuffed up and lived-in, which is how I liked them.

There was a lot of sustained contact involved in this, as you might imagine, especially with the girls who would agree to thoroughly abuse a pair. Occasionally they'd suggest bringing body fluids into the equation (for a charge), but for the most part they were just students looking for an easy buck that didn't involve actual prostitution.

So over the few months it'd take for them to stink up a pair of S95s, I would get to know some of the girls and occsionally we'd have something in common. When it came time for them to send me the boots, sometimes it'd be easier to meet up. Just a coffee, nothing more; usually friendly but rarely leading anywhere. Except on two occasions; one was a six-month fling with somebody who shall remain nameless. The other girl (Sarah) has become a good friend and occasional drinking buddy of mine - hi Sarah! <3

Of course, most people on the internet are fucking weirdos who should be given a wide berth.
 
I was flown to Melbourne for the day because a guy needed a locum. Once he ascertained I was a caucasian male he offered me a job but he told me he was flying out the Chicago for the weekend that afternoon and apologised he couldn't show me around that night. It was my first time in Melbourne and I knew no one in the city and had 24 hrs to kill until my return flight. I had been on this site a few weeks and knew that there was a meet up organise for that afternoon. I had posted probably 20 times and had no idea what any one looked like but decided to head to the bar any way.

I sat there for 30 minutes, scoping the tables trying to pluck the courage to approach the right table. The place was packed for a Saturday afternoon and it was difficult to imagine any of them being internet warriors. In the end I left and started to walk up the road when I saw a group of ravers on the opposite side of the street. I thought, Fuck it and crossed over and asked one of the girls, "Are those phat pants?" and then "You don't happen to be Bluelighters by any chance?" They laughed and said they were and we returned to the bar and started drinking.

It started to get dark and they asked me if I wanted to go to a party that night. I had nothing else to do, so I followed them onto a train with no idea where the fuck they were taking me. 25minutes later and we were in some dark suburb and I was starting to feel a little nervous, particularly when they told me we were being picked up by someone and driven to the house party. As soon as the car pulled up I decided I wasn't going to be murdered so jumped straight in the front seat where I was introduced to this cute girl in pigtails. I remember how she drove the stick shift with such vigour and also how the back window sill of her car was covered in stuffed animals.

We finally arrived at her house and for the next couple of hours I smoked bongs in her kitchen while talking to this girl like we had known each other forever. She had no idea I was some random stranger as she simply assumed her mates knew who I was. Eventually most of the party headed out to a warehouse rave, and I eventually caught the train back into the city after scoring some pills, where my adventures would lead me to a back room in a club where I met a guy chipping a colombian kilo with a ice pick and marching in an ANZAC parade at dawn, but that is a story for another time.


As for the girl we stayed in touch. In fact 12 years later and we share an apartment. I see her naked every morning, spoon every night and leave each other love notes from time to time. You never know who you'll meet online it seems…..
 
Ran a clan with a guy on runescape for a couple of years, stayed in contact when we went different ways (which weren't really that different). Haven't met, but if we're ever in the others area, or at a festival together no doubt we'll meet up.

I'm barely interested in meeting people I do know, let alone those that i don't!
 
still mates with most people ive met up with online, i was surprised with the first meet up when i was meeting with a fellow trip head, me thinking he was gonna be a bit of a hippy, i thought wrong, big friendly tanked out lad with short hair and gym clothes, never made a judgement like that since

when i met mugz i thought he was going to be mental but was quite quiet and reserved, that festival was a good laugh, meetin mugz, thirdeyesqueege and bogman for the first time and it hasnt been the last, more this year aswell im sure :D (RIP mugz mate)

last year i met red arrow at a festival, he done a slamming DnB/jungle set and had a good yarn with him, so meet up's can happen randomly too, generally if they are a bluelight member, it can be easy to get along well with them i find :)
