Would you travel/drive far to meet someone you met online and had great connection?

Question

why/why not?  Had you done it? How was it?  Did it meet your expectations or got disappointed?

AmberESTP · Accepted Answer

Totally would!

And actually did 😊

I had this Scandinavian boyfriend with amazing long hair and we had the same interests. He was not a catfish and all authentic.

Of course, I made lots of video calls with him prior and very early into our conversations because I don't wanna waste my time on some fake people...

But yeah totally (only if you're 100% sure and had video calls with him)

Another thing, if it's the first time meeting, never go to his house or in a private setting. Better off on a public place with lots of people around. You never know

I can see the appeal…for you

ObscuredBeyond · Accepted Answer

Never got the chance. Only managed to get a car earlier today. A lease, with only 10,000 miles a year of permitted travel.

So I'd have to get other transportation to do anything cool.

Other than maybe you, Pinay, I don't currently have anyone I've met online that's lined up as anyone I'd be that interested in meeting just yet.

So for the time being, I'm in no big hurry to take any such risk. Obviously, a few years ago, I wanted to visit Sunny. But I can't very well drive to China from anywhere I've lived, so that was never going to happen.

Sure, I have did it...

Aerolyn · Answer

That meme is funny as hell, lmao.

aNyWAys
I most likely wouldn't.

I've been kinda friends with this one girl for a while and she wanted me to come see her for her birthday about a month ago. She lived a out 8 hours away, I wasn't about to spontaneously drive eight freaking hours and back just to see you, I'm sorry.

Like, I like you and your cool, but I ain't doing that.

I'm only going that distance if I'm finna have you come live with me or something, one round trip that I won't have to ever make again type shit.

My life is far too grindy rn to do anything like that rn anyways, even if I liked someone a lot, it would just be a bad idea for me to do in my opinion.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I'm actually about to do this next month! I met a girl on Reddit early in the year and I'm headed down to her city because of something related to my university. It's a business trip (her request), so I'm going to have a great trip either way, but she wants to meet me during the weekend I'm in town.

I don't know if this will just be a coffee date or a "date" date, but I'm looking forward to it in either case.

abc3643 · Answer

I did. US Thanksgiving Weekend 1995, I drove about 850 miles from Schenectady New York USA to Halifax Nova Scotia Canada to meet a woman 9y older than me. For a short time, we were a couple.

LindsayR07 · Answer

No, I am only interested in people in a very particular subculture and unfortunately posers in that subculture (usually online) are not only annoying but, due to their lack of experience, or being a predator, are dangerous. Because of this I only date people from that subculture I meet in person.

Googlemyahoo · Answer

Did it many times when I was on lavalife before getting married. They had three sections dating, serious relationship & intimate encounters. I had a profile in each.

Think the farthest I drove was like 3 hours. It was fun, usually just chatted before agreeing to meet up. Some would say half way if it was far otherwise I’d say no worries and head over.

Usually did regular dating stuff, chips dips chains and whips. Some just wanted companionship.

DiegoO · Answer

I had my heart on that intention. Not anymore, as you know. However, it was a experience that made me wiser.

Although things didn't went to that extent, I sometimes wonder wth would have happen if we met in person, or if I had the chance to join a program like Catfish.🤔

My advice: go outside, take fresh air and meet people in person first, rather than online.

clampfan101 · Answer

After knowing I wasn’t being catfished at least, that’s for sure. People can video chat these days after all, which also shows trust and self confidence. (At least without the virtual stickers it seems lots of girls put on their faces. lol Those would be more annoying than too much makeup.)

Guardian45 · Answer

Would you travel/drive far to meet someone you met online and had great connection? Yes.

Why/why not? Cuz when you make a connection, its worth it!

Had you done it? Yes.

How was it?
It was AMAZING! And I will NEVER forget it!

Did it meet your expectations or got disappointed?
In the end, we were disappointed, but I DONT regret it.

Dalisay409 · Answer

I recently traveled from Chicago to NYC to meet a guy from GaG. It was an amazing night. I would do it again.

macjets007 · Answer

Only if we did video calls a lot and it was obvious they were who they said they were. For example, if someone video calls me on their lunch break in their office and provide other details where when we speak it's 100% true then yes that's fine.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

Probably not.

I'm very unlikely to travel far by myself, because I'm almost certain to get lost or be paranoid about something of that sort happening.

Either come to me or meet me at a place where we're both familiar with.

lilyanony1 · Answer

My current lives in Surrey I'm in North London. Basically it's 1hr and half by train.
He mostly does it to mine but I've done it to his once. Easier and safer for him to come to mine. And he prefers it.

AviatorTom · Answer

After my divorce, I drove 400 miles to meet a woman I met online. WE had a nice 6 month romance before breaking up.

Bexxiib · Answer

Honestly I’d have to go with a friend first. Despite a great connection you can’t really trust who you meet online. I’d expect that person I meet online would do the same.

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

Yeah I would and I’ve done it before a few times if the person is really amazing and the connection is strong

20yearsolder · Answer

I didn't make the drive, someone drove to meet me. She made a 7-hour trip. One way. It by far surpassed my expectations

Sour-rose · Answer

I did that once. Couldn't find the n*gga. Then next time, she was real and it was a fun time. But now a days, nah. I got better shi to do just to meet someone. Also zoom is a thing <3

VanillaSalt · Answer

I flew on a plane once… but she was an ex from high school and we parted on amicable Terms. Would I do it again? No. I wouldn’t travel more then 20-30 minutes for anyone. Waste of my time.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Hell yeah! I drove to Maryland once. ... I mean, I got stuck in traffic and I was late and I pissed her off. But... Lol

NathanDavis · Answer

I have never done it... but I might be travelling around, by the last months of 2023... lol

TrillXHippy · Answer

I haven’t but the way that I think makes me feel like it’ll just be a disappointment. I don’t think I can

shesrad · Answer

I would, if the connection was that strong on the phone and by text etc

DaisyM23 · Answer

I don't think I would go out of my way to do that, no. I've had online friends before and I never really thought to take it from online to in-person

OlderThanILook · Answer

Not normally, but one of my best friends is in another country. If we ever planned a meetup, I would definitely show up

BlueScorpio · Answer

No, it's best to meet someone who is in a 5 to 10 mile radius of you. But if you can make it work then go for it.

Anjoomkabir · Answer

Yes but I would bring someone with me just for safety purposes.

Andres77 · Answer

I would but it’s not something I would recommend for women in general unless she had safeguards set up in case the guy was a real creep. I would oppose my daughters from going anywhere.

msc545 · Answer

I've done that in the past - a complete waste of time.

AsaKyo · Answer

Yes, I would do it if I thought they were seriously worth it

RavVid · Answer

If it is an hour away then I will make her come to me.

Rockstarrrrr · Answer

I'll do anything for love xD

Heolurt · Answer

Nope because I'd be for sure getting catfished and probably not by a female and I'll never get to a point where I show someone online what I look like, they would ghost me if I did.

nawtee_me · Answer

I have never been disappointed. I try not to go in with any teal expectations. The thing is to meet in person as soon as possible before all the expectations come up.

DancingQueen16 · Answer

Sure because I have online friends and I'd love to meet them in person

Hanrej · Answer

I would but it would take connection, chemistry, phone and video calls before I do anything of the sort. I've seen the tv-show catfish.

Maybe if we Facetimed or similar, but based upon texts and pictures? Hell to the No.
