Well, I heard about a person who met someone on an online forum. They arranged to meet at a coffee shop. But when they met, the other person just stared at them in a really creepy way the whole time and didn't say much. It was so uncomfortable that the person left as soon as possible.
One horror story is when a person met an online friend who seemed really nice at first. They agreed to meet in person. But when they met, the so - called friend turned out to be extremely pushy and tried to control everything. They didn't respect personal boundaries and even got angry when the other person wanted to leave. It was a really scary situation as the person felt trapped.
Firstly, don't share too much personal information online. For example, your home address or financial details. This can prevent an online friend from using that information against you if they turn out to be bad. Also, when you plan to meet, choose a public place like a busy coffee shop or a mall. That way, there are lots of people around and it's safer.
One of my online friend meetings was really cool. I met a girl on a language - learning app. We started chatting about learning English. After a few months, she came to my city for a trip and we met up. It was like meeting an old friend, no awkwardness at all.
There was a case where someone joined an online gaming group. They befriended a person in the group and decided to meet up. However, when they met, the so - called friend tried to steal their wallet. It was a shock because they thought they had made a real friend through their shared love for the game. Apparently, the thief had been targeting people from the gaming group all along.
I once met an internet friend at a local coffee shop. We had been chatting for months about our shared love for books. When we finally met, it was like seeing an old acquaintance. We talked for hours about our favorite novels and authors.
On a music - sharing website, I befriended someone who had a great taste in music. We shared playlists and music recommendations. Then we found out there was a music festival in our area. We met there. The whole day was filled with great music, and we had a lot of fun dancing and singing along. It was an unforgettable experience.
A common horror story is when the meeting is unprepared. People show up not knowing what the meeting is about. There's no clear agenda, and it just becomes a muddled mess of random conversations.
Well, in some 341 meetings, there might be a person who dominates the whole conversation. They don't let others speak and push their own ideas forcefully. For example, I once attended a 341 meeting where this one colleague just talked non - stop about his project, not giving a chance to others to present their work or ideas. It made the whole meeting very frustrating for everyone else.
I met an internet friend who was into photography. We had connected on a photo - sharing platform. When we met, we went on a photo walk around the city. It was really fun as we both shared tips on getting the best shots and learned from each other.
