is meeting up with someone you met online usually a failure?

[swt]

the way i think about it is like, wouldnt you be disappointed?

when youre talking to someone online you usually like the IDEA of them , thats the truth, then you meet up, you see all their angles, they probably dont have the smell you imagined them to have, they dont use the same body language you imagined them to use, and maybe theyre just not cool like you thought they were, also the way they look in that setting you met in, does it match them? do they match the vibe you imagined theyd have? etc.

bump

yes

 

[swt]

maybe their voice is different from how it sounds on phone calls, maybe they walk differently than you imagined etc etc etc

 

[gangiewangie]

no

if you have a genuine connection with them it'll be a good day in both of your lives probably.
really depends on the person though if they keep on lying which people tend to do online it'll suck meeting irl
i have some online friends i would really like to meet though

We should meet up one day, definitely. We live pretty close. I live close enough to @heightmaxxing where I could've saw him in passing before lol.

I remember Nibba and Afrikancel talking about meeting up in NYC in like 2019 or something I think it was. They actually went through with it too. A decent amount of actively engaged org users of the past have actually met a fellow.
