I have met quite a few Bluelighters in the three years since I have been on the site (almost 4 years--time flies when you are old!

) It has not only never been awkward but it has always been lovely. I just went to the UK for a month expressly to meet up with many of the fine tribe of Bluelight and it was a wonderful and meaningful trip. My only regret is that I could not have included more visits than I did.
People my age are even more scared of "people you met on the internet" and quite a few friends thought I was crazy to go to a foreign country to do so. Really? I had no fear whatsoever and none was warranted obviously. One of my favorite memories of that trip will always be when one friend and I were whizzing down some impossibly narrow country lane at night outside of Bristol and he said, "OK, we are almost to the spot where I kill my victims that I meet on drug sites. Right, here it comes on the left". I laughed so hard I almost peed. And here I am alive to tell the tale.:D
