Meeting friends online
I saw a contest on this site: http://www.hivepals.com/  where you share funny horror stories about meeting people offline that you met online.  I actually have a few good ones to share, but here's the best: I went to meet a guy – just as a friend cuz I was new in the area - and he turned out to be a cult leader auditioning followers.  He took me to the Hare Krishna temple for charity food.  He kept looking at me funny, I thought he was looking at my belly – when I asked him why he was looking at my waist so much he said he was trying to see if I had good birthing hips because he needed to repopulate the world. Maybe at least I can win an something for that one...

Got any good ones yourself?

2. No horror stories from me!
Every single time I've met a DU'er who I knew online, they've turned out to be exactly as they showed themselves on here.

I always talk to them on the phone before meeting, though.

And meet in a public place...

:hi:
