Anything can happen.
I met a guy online at a forum, and we talked for several years before we exchanged pictures and tried phone chats. I eventually met him in person, we hit it off, and I expect that a proposal may happen in December. Upon meeting him the first time, because we had been talking online for so long, it just felt like re-connecting with a long lost friend.
Oh, yeah, he's English and I'm American, and yes, we've kept it up for years with several thousand miles between us.
Even if you're just meeting up as friends, use common sense and be safe.

Sounds somewhat familiar.

Sorry this is late coming.
I had an absolutely SUPERB day in Derby! My friend was indeed very awesome and we just clicked - pure and simple. I was pretty nervous before arriving but oddly enough the journey there took hardly any time at all, even though really it was 2 hours to get there.
I got shown round all the highlights of the city and the Westfield centre is really good.
I wish I could do it again, like right now as I'm missing him loads. (No interest in that sense but nevermind, I like what we have got - good friendship.
We also ended up going to see Slumdog Millionaire which was quite harrowing but good. Quite tense in parts but it had a happy ending.
When it was time for me to go it was really difficult - once I was on the train I tried to find a seat and he was on the platform 'following' me. I soon found a seat and we started texting each other. He had his iPod on (4th gen Nano. blue) I was starting to get a bit tearful . He said he was going to have to wave me off with a white hanky, whatever that means. I asked him what he was listening to and it was a song I gifted to him through iTunes .
I was very happy that I did it overall. Thanks for the interest!

Thanks! I forgot to label the photo - which do you think is me?
From what you've said before, I assumed you were the one on the left.
Correct!
Joe- if there are changes about your appearance you'd like to make, that's fine. But please take care not to come down so hard on yourself.
Nice! OOH I hope you didn't go to the Westfield's cinema, the prices are extortionate! Glad you sorted it all out and got along fine, it's an amazing story tbh. *wonders if you saw me*.

There's hope for me yet!
You're friend is pretty cute. Sorry for chiming in like that.
Anyway, I would never think about meeting someone in real life that I met online. It would be creepy, IMO. And I'd be extremely nervous and stuff.
I'm glad to hear you had a good time.
