Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| No, I hate traveling |

| It depends of how long have we talked, if I see them on skype and if they don't look suspicious. I've met some people I have only talked online but I didn't had to travel. |
There's no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything without losing something first. Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah, a heart made fullmetal. - Fullmetal Alchemist |

| I would do it for the sake of friendship, not love. Just because you think you've met the love of your life through the internet, doesn't mean that person acts the same way in real life. I know I don't act the same IRL, so I wouldn't expect others to be any different. |
 |
| No, I won't. I only go to a specific country for vacation or when my dad does some work there and there's no classes for the meantime, I'd join him. But if that person happens to be in that place where I'm going then sure, why not. My dad goes to Central European countries a lot so if a MAL user who lives there asks me to go to him/her, then alright if my dad goes there. (He visits Netherlands and Austria the most, like.. 3 times a year? That's already a lot.) No. I would not do it for love as I will never fall in love with a person I haven't met in real life. |
 |
| No, because they might be male-Ruka. Or female Mellow. |
| If they're sexy. |
| If I was already in that country I wouldn't mind going a reasonable distance out of my way to meet up with someone I knew online, but to answer your question: No, I would not go specifically to meet that person unless I had a really good reason. |
| If I care for them to that extent and I know they're not Pedobear, I see no harm. |

I know I don't act the same IRL, so I wouldn't expect others to be any different. I second this. I have done the travel for love myself but I warn any other person that I know online who might be thinking of doing same to be realistic about it. Sure it sounds hell of romantic to do but don't start hearing wedding bells just yet because it will put incredible amount of pressure on fresh relationship. No matter how well or long you know the internet persona someone has shared with you the real life will not be exactly the same. And then there's the physical chemistry, it might or might not be there and there's no way to tell that beforehand. Travel for friendship in my opinion, again approached realistically and weighting security risks, can be a nice way to see new places and save on accommodation fees (Couchsurfing movement comes to mind). |

| Already did it three times But sadly it's too expensive for a continuance |
| I've already done it. US to UK. Things didn't go exactly to plan since she had things get in the way from us hanging out as much as we wanted. |
| No. Traveling across the world for someone you only met online isn't romantic, just reeks of desperation. Now traveling across the world for someone you met whilst visiting there and fell in love is romantic. Like Bob Harris returning for Charlotte in lost in translation that would be romantic as fuck. Now talking of visiting friends, only if it happens that you are holidaying near to where they live anyway. Not worth the hassle to just visit an online friend for no other reason than to visit. Not to mention nobody is who they say they are.... |

| Sure! I've already had two online friends visit me and stay at my place before, one was from the US and the other was from the UK. I've visited the one who lives in the UK too (the US is a bit far away, though I wouldn't mind going to meet someone if it was less expensive) I've also met one of my best friend online at first and then visited him (though tbh that was because I was already near where he lived so going those extra 100 kilometers wasn't a big deal) I don't see why I wouldn't visit someone if we've already talked a lot and saw each other on Skype and all that. It's a great opportunity to see other places too. Kibura_Iburasa said: Traveling across the world for someone you only met online isn't romantic, just reeks of desperation.

Why would it need to be romantic? I wouldn't want a long distance relationship but I think visiting online friends is a great idea. - You're visiting a new country which is great in itself - Since you're with a person who lives there, they could show you around - If you're staying at their place you save up the money you'd normally use to pay for a hotel edit: Didn't actually read the whole original post so I didn't notice the bit about love at the end. Uhhhh. Well since I would already go to visit friends I guess I'd visit someone I wanted to bang too. As for love, well I've never been in love so I can't say much on the topic, but I don't think I'd let myself fall for someone who lived far away in the first place |

| I would also travel to another country just for the fun of it, so why not try and leech off some free housing while you're there if you know someone that lives there? Worst Case you're still on vacation. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I would If the friend and I have been talking for many years. Then yes I would |
| I barely leave my house to go to work. And they pay me..... |

| Spoiler: They only want to meet you to jam it in. |
| Only if it's like close to where I live like Connecticut or Pennsylvania or something and they ask to meet me i'll probably go there sometime. Other than that I wouldn't travel somewhere far away unless i'm going on vacation there i'll just meet you there as well. |
 |
| Yes!! I had an awesome online friend visit me from another country, so I'd like to do the same once I have enough money for it! o/ |
| Cross my heart and hope to die I promise that I will never lie and if my promise ever does go I give to you my eternal soul! |
| i said yes. because i love adventure and i am on the path to become the Sekai saikyō no butōka!!! |
 |
| Heavens no, I'd dread to stumble upon someone I met online in real life. |
| Lolno. I wouldn't go out of my way to meet up with someone I met online, even if they were in my city. Besides the fact that the chances of them being quite different from how they were online are high, I have enough problems with the friends I already have. |
| im asocial so no |
| I'm not sure, so maybe |

| I will, I don't mind wasting money meeting a friend. now, if only I have the cash. |
| Yes I'd definitely travel and then I'd just fuck their brains out whatever gender they are I don't care. And honestly I think you should go too. But you're a girl so they'll be the ones who will rape you. |
| If they are along the way I guess I would hit them up to see "how bout it?", but no, not in any other circumstance. |

| B*tch better pay for my expenses.... jk. If its a case of "True Love" then yes. But with todays society even the truest form of love ends with a divorce, so i cant really say. |
Happy Halloween  |

| No. He/She should come over here instead. |
 |
| No, I would not. |

| Want to talk? Club! "Would you like an anti-psychotic?" *Bonus points if you leave a comment about the meaning of my signature.* |
| Already done. I drove all tye way to Indiana to meet my online GF. I don't regret it one bit because our chemistry IRL was just as good as it was online. |
| Depends on if I want to meet that person badly enough. |
| Yes. But only to Germany, since I live a few kilometres from the border lel |
 |
| Only if t's close enough for a cheap and quick trip, like Argentina or Uruguay. Anything further is just too extreme for me. |
 |
| I would. Especially if that person and I know each other for quite sometime. Like I would go to the UK, just to meet one of my closest friends. |
""You think you're special? You're not. Everyone lies, everyone hides things... Nobody makes it through this life being completely honest." - Izaya |
| I'd have to see pictures of the person I'm meeting before I consider it. Like, if the person I'm meeting up with says they're 19 years old, I would want to see a picture of them before I go. I wouldn't want to get there, only to find out that person was lying, and is actually like a 40 year old basement dweller. If they give me proof they are who they say they are though, yes, I would. |
