Me, me, me!! :3

And yes, I have. We were both part of a scanlation group and had been working together for 4 years and got along really well, always exchanging e-mails and all that. XD We met last year and it was really great. She lived about 6 hours away from me, and drove down to meet me, it was a wonderful experience. And I still talk to her almost everyday.=)

Nope. D:
But I'd like to. Maybe when I'm legal and can drive. ._.

(No one lives near me. TT.TT)

EDIT:
Oh wait, I live near quite a few people actually. O__O
Triby is only like 2~3 hours away...so is Kashi...and then Kerfy's in the next state over...once again, too bad I can't drive. T__T

If my geography is right...you live only 10 hours away from me! D: But I moved so now it's more. XD Would only have been an hour flight too. D':

I can kidnap you Starry, if I choose to! We can have cookies and bishies and have a blast. >: )

Quote from mileen

Snip

If you actually enjoyed talking with this guy, you should probably not run away from him. Otherwise you're more or less running away from any possibilities that could have been with it. And in the end the only thing you'll get out of it is a short-term avoidance of possible pain (humiliation or embarassment or something similar,) though it seems like you didn't really cut down on that much by running away.

Thank you for sharing your story though. Was amusing to say the least.

As for my answer to the question:

Of course! Why restrict myself to meeting people only one way? I've met several people, though seemingly all of the opposite gender. I do have some guy friends I plan on eventually meeting when I get my finances together. They happen to live across oceans though so visiting them is difficult. OH, and a few of us were going to meet up in Michigan and go water-rafting, but that was postponed.

Aww, I hope you at least text messaged him at some point and told him the reason you ran away is because you're afraid of guys. At least let him know that it's not HIM in particular. It would be awful to ruin a friendship over such a silly thing. If you still haven't, you still can and should.


I remember the day (with much embarrassment) that a male friend of mine, oblivious to how 14yo girls feel about such things, called up a guy I had a crush on and asked if he was going to show up at the place where we were that day. (It was something we all shared it common, so there was a reasonable chance he would have anyway.) And my friend actually said "Laura wants to know if you're going to come to...."

OMFG, I could have sunk through the concrete and been buried right there of mortification. I wanted to KILL my friend for having done that.
(FYI, the guy didn't go that day, thank the Lord. I don't know what I would have done.)

Oh, and my answer to the original question is back in post #284405

I prefer to keep my online affairs online, though I can make a few exceptions with people I've known for several years and such.

It's a dangerous business making contact with people online, make sure you tell your parents and such that way they know why you got kidnapped and disappeared.

Please be safe and meet up in group settings, not in one-on-one meetings - at least not at first. And always make sure that someone you know knows where you are going, when you should be back, and it wouldn't hurt for you to get a friend to go with you, for safety.

No, but it would be fun...and a little embarrasing. By some reason? And a bit dangerous. My parents would never let me do that, and maybe that's good.

Mileen, I understand you! I hope you guys will meet again, so you can tell him why you ran away. 🙂
