I never thought I would meet my fiance online but it happened and I dont regret it. Never regreted anything or anyone in my past or future because that is how we learn from our lives. I was married before and divorced now for over 7 yrs. Met friends through work, through computers and just by talking to people. Just enjoy meeting new people and making new friends no matter how it is done
Call me old fashioned but I meet friends through friends. I want to know someone who can vouch for you.
But what if you don't have any friends to start with Have you never relocated? Did you never date anyone who wasn't a friend of a friend?
I personally met my hubby while playing an online game (Everquest) Good thing I didn't have your rule!
I agree it's good to be cautious but these meetups happen in public places and I don't think anyone should feel any more nervous than if they were striking up a conversation with a stranger.

And I've heard of people going to family reunions to meet girls.

Ditto And the city data forum has some very interesting people on it It's been a pleasure meeting every one, both at the last meetup and otherwise.
That's okay, TarHell. As said before, you don't have to go.
But for those of us who are going, where should we do it this time? Could we please please have the meet-up at a locally owned establishment this time? Ya know, someplace that will show the newcomers some local flavor.
