Have you or would you ever meet an online friend in person?

Would you be willing to drive or fly to meet them in another state?
 
Yes, I’ve met people in person that I first got to know online. One of them was a couple who had also met each other through the same forum I was on.
We met up for coffee, stayed in touch regularly, visited each other’s homes, and often went out for lunch together.
Through that same forum, I also met quite a few others from around the country.
We even organised a couple of group meetups, and the couple I mentioned earlier came along too. Everyone was from different states, but we made it happen, some great memories.

These days, though, things feel a bit different. People, including myself, have changed.
Most of us keep more to ourselves now. I’m not really interested in meetups anymore, a quick chat online is enough for me.
So yes, I’ve met online friends in person before. But now? I probably wouldn’t go out of my way.
