I Met a GaGer for the First Time... My Thoughts vs. The Reality

[Anonymous]

First off... I chose to go anonymous for this because I wasn't sure if that GaGer that I met will be embarrassed/offended or not by this take because he will know it's about him.

Secondly, I'm not speaking for all GaGers OR other people's experiences for when they have met a GaGer. This is just MY experience.

Third thing, ALWAYS be safe no matter what.

Okay so here we go...

So I met a guy on here over a year ago. I just know I posted an opinion and he commented on it. Then later on we were private messaging each other. A few months later (or sooner.... I'm forgetful.. lol) it turned into texting. He's been so good to me. I went through some tough times last year and he was always there for me. Whenever he needed someone I was there for him too. We were originally going to meet last December but due to finances on my end, it didn't happen. So in the beginning of the year... We both decided that the summer time would be good.

My Thoughts:

1. Was he real?

This crossed both of our minds. We made jokes about it. I wondered if he was real and he wondered if I was real. When it came down to meeting him in person, I was worried he was a creepy girl or an older man. He was worried that I was an older man. LOL. There was one sure way to find out... And that's by meeting him which was the most risky thing I've ever done in my life.

2. Will he be the same person as he is in texting?

So again... This can be risky. You can only hope that they act the same way through texting as they do in person or vice versa. My fear was that he would be mean or just like any other guy... A jerk.

3. If he didn't like the way things were going... Would he ditch me?

So I was worried and thought to myself "So if he's bored or if he thought this was a mistake... Would he ditch me?" Lol

4. Finally, would he throw me under the bus (literally)?

So a small part of me was worried that he would kidnap me or hurt me... I think at this point I've seen too many lifetime movies.

Ready for the Reality? Here we go...

The Reality:

1. Was he real? Of course he was!

When I first saw him, I was so relieved because he was real. He looked exactly like he did in the pictures he's sent me. He's super tall, dark blue eyes, amazing smile and he had the short blonde hair that I love so much.

2. Will he be the same person as he is in texting? Yes he was and more!!

First off, we both don't like texting and we both would forget when one or the other would text back... So an unanswered text would always sit there. While hanging out with him this weekend, I discovered that he is the most sweetest, dorky, funny and all around amazing guy I've ever met. I was expecting him to be like any other guy which was a jerk or a pervert but thank god he wasn't. I observe people and I can tell when they are lying or pretending to be someone they're not but he wasn't... He was so good to me. He made sure I was comfortable anywhere we went and he is a true gentleman. I got more than what my thoughts were. :)

3. If he didn't like the way things were going... Would he ditch me? Nope.... He didn't ditch me.

He joked about pulling a prank where he would pretend to ditch me but he really didn't do it. I've asked numerous times if he was bored of me and what not and he responded by making more plans WITH me. He really didn't have to but he did. He cleared up his schedules and we even spent a full day together. It was great. :)

4. Finally, would he throw me under the bus (literally)? No lol

He didn't hurt me in any way. He was more protective than anything. He made sure I was comfortable and he just wanted me to be happy. At that point he would've done anything to make me happy. When we were out and about he made sure we stayed close since I've never been to his city (it's a biiiiiiig city by the way). He drove me every where because he knew I didn't know the city well enough .-.

My Thoughts Now.....

He is a beautiful person from the inside out. Meeting him was a decision I will never regret. Being around him, made me so happy. It brought out the happiness that I saw in romance movies. I wrote this take because he's very special to me and meeting him made him even more special. I'm not sure how I feel about him as my feelings are scrambled... but one day... A very lucky girl will be with him. I just know it will never be me.

Love you 💝

[LittleSally]

Nice it turned out okay.
But why wouldn't you two be together - he isn't into you?
In my experience no guy would ever meet a girl (that he previously knew just from online) if he wasn't expecting it to go beyond the friend relationship...

[CT_CD]

Love you too

[StainedClass]

Fuck, beat me to it.

[Chicobun]

I think that's the problem with online relationship, we feel that we're close but then there are still a lot of things that we don't know. Yes we know his/her deep feelings/personality (because people is usually more open on the internet because we're kinda anonymous in here; even if we're putting our names/nicknames, we still aren't meeting in person), but there are things that we can only know by meeting the person face-to-face, things like: how they smell (this is an important thing in my opinion, because if you don't like how he/she smells, then it can be a big turn off), how they act (their body languages), and so on. All of those can only be obtained once you met them in person.

What a beautiful story to read after a stressful day. Thank you. Friend zoned or not, it's still great that you two know each other in person. Just don't forget about each other. Chat every once in a while. Who knows, you might end up together someday 💍

[myTake Owner]

Awwww I'm really glad you liked it. :) thank you for reading it. I mean he did some things that made me think he had feelings for me but at the end of the day I'm still his friend. :/ but I'm glad I know him as a person.

''I'm not sure how I feel about him as my feelings are scrambled... but one day... A very lucky girl will be with him. I just know it will never be me.''

Above is the most important part. After all of the up in the clouds comments about how great the guy is, she then talks about how another girl will be lucky to have him. All of this sounds suspiciously like a projection of romantic fantasy mixed in with a bit of infatuation and dreamy type stuff along the lines of ''better to have loved and lost, than not to have loved at all'' Typical...

''My fear was that he would be mean or just like any other guy... A jerk''

why the hell does it seem like I can't go one freaking mytake or almost anything for that matter without people insulting men. That just turned me off from this, sorry.

[myTake Owner]

Lmao thanks for reading 😅

[Opinion Owner]

well I stopped there lol. At least I said sorry. I am just tired of it is all

[GoldFan1001]

I was about too say the same thing always that one feminist who has to get a jab in and
insult men.

[Opinion Owner]

@GoldFan1001 exactly, I used to have such a good mindset going into things and now its getting to the point where I dont even like reading anymore because 80% of the time, you will find something like this or telling men that they are evil.

[GoldFan1001]

I agree she was already judging the dude on the simple fact he was a guy.

[Omar5881]

I saw your other comments here and people are like "why you aren't fighting for it blah blah "
What you've made the right thing which is moving on from someone who friendzoned you I almost see no-one this powerful yo just admit it and move on really good for you

[myTake Owner]

Thank you!

[SaramadHill]

Good thing everything went fine. I would say it's always smart to be cautious, but don't go around expecting the sky to fall on your head on the time. A lot of men aren't actually dangerous, we just only hear about the ones that are. Better safe than sorry, anyways. I'm glad you two had a good time, and good luck sorting out your romantic feelings. Who knows how the future will play out, ma'am.

[Red88xxx]

This was beautiful. I want people to except and acknowledge that there are people who are really warm hearted caring and considerate. And I'm hoping that you'd take me as a friend like you did him because I'm a really sensitive guy who loves companionship and friendship. If you're interested please let me know because I wouldn't mind having a friend like you in my life. Thank you for giving me hope.

[Anonymous]

It's awesome reading success stories like this (by success I mean... the guy was actually who he said he was and no one was catfishing Lol). But how do you know you will never be with him? Do you have feelings for each other? You never know what the future holds. :)

[KingOfAll666]

"Just like any other guy... A jerk"? What the fuck?

[myTake Owner]

LOL 😂😂

[sp33d]

"He is a beautiful person from the inside out. "

You know, I wish I could say something corny like that after my first date with a woman I've known for about a week or so. Like how the fuck do you people... ah nvm.

[vishna]

Ah, so curious who you guys are. Lol, everyone should answer so we can do process of elimination XD unless you're super thorough and made a fake account just to make this one MyTake.

Hope both of you guys happiness, even if it isn't together.

[myTake Owner]

Lol we've both been on here for years

[vishna]

Darn... hmm, I dunno of any cute blondies? and you're obviously a pink silhouette. Does he show his picture?

[myTake Owner]

He's a very cute blonde to me. He has a picture and it's black and white.

[JDavid25]

Sweet story, and it's good that you met the same guy who was what you seen on the profile.. Although "Just like any other guy, A jerk, and a pervert?"... Well damn.. Why we gotta be like that? LOL.. But, coo take..

[BeerFarts]

@This_is_my_username, this MyTake could've been about us. Lol.

@MyTake owner, we met over a year ago and she doubted that I was a real person, too. Lol. We had a blast meeting up and she is everything that I'd thought she'd be and more :)

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Congrats, you successfully made sure you would never get together with that mindset. Get off your ass and text him so i don't have to read another article about "the one that got away even though i never had a line in the water."

[cocoaniable]

Awh very cute story, only the last part made me upset! I mean you'll never know how things might go. Does he know how you feel?

[myTake Owner]

I'm pretty sure he does. I'm very obvious when it comes to liking someone.

[MyMintFrappe]

Ahhh! That is so adorable. This sounded so magical. I kind of want something like this to happen but at the same time seeing some of the guys here go crazy stalker mode I probably will never risk it.

[SmartButBroke]

Hell, seeing all the ignorant opinions and thoughts guys express here ought to be enough way before "stalker mode," lol.

[GoldFan1001]

Plot Twist the Person who wrote this was actually the guy and wanted to meet himself.

[GoldFan1001]

I'm guessing the guy who thumbs down me was the guy who meet himself.

[Cosytoasty]

Lmao!

[GoldFan1001]

@Cosytoasty Huh see he gets it.

[rgb008]

I met my boyfriend on here.
I didn't really think any of this when we were gonna meet in person lol
But cool u met someone from gag lmao

[myTake Owner]

Awwww that's adorable!! :) & I'm just a paranoid person LMFAO 😂😂

[cavmanier]

I'm happy it went well minus it ultimately not working out. At least you affirmed there are good guys in the world.

[myTake Owner]

Yes. He's one of the best that I've ever met.

[frozenhorizon]

I can't believe it's 2017 and people are still having their "first time" of meeting other people from the internet in person LOL. I don't even think anything of it anymore, it's completely normal things to me now.

[frozenhorizon]

Glad you liked the guy though
