This is a topic that calls my attention because making friends online has taken a lot of boom in recent years thanks to the new technological era where social networks is the main meeting point between people in various parts of the world, which is why I will answer the questions posed below:
Would you meet up with your online friends? Why or why not?
I have not yet had as such online friends because I do not know why I have not tried maybe because now I am focused on other things however if hypothetically I would have the opportunity to meet someone in real life, if I would do it but taking certain precautions such as the meeting point in a public place where there are many people around because we really do not know who is hiding behind the screen.With this I don't want to say that I don't agree with personally meeting internet friends, since I am a very supportive person of this new modality so much so that I like to watch tv programs like one called "All in 90 days" where people meet on lines and decide to form a relationship, because I am a fan of those stories so nice that could be given in real life.
And I think it would be great to meet people from other parts of the world as it would be great to deepen their cultures, traditions, languages and lifestyle to which they are accustomed.
What advice would you give to someone who is considering meeting their online friends for the first time?
I am not the best person to advise someone on this subject since I have no previous experience but as the cautious person that I am I can mention if you are considering meeting a friend online for the first time you should take into account that not everything is what it seems we should not idealize people by photos or by their online behavior we always have to keep in mind that we never finish getting to know people so following our intuition is paramount, it is also super important to note that if you feel uncomfortable it is not mandatory that you stay you can withdraw kindly, let the friendship and love flow to see what happens but of course respecting the limits of what is right for you, as I mentioned above do not feel pressured to go to places where you feel in danger or uncomfortable, remember that the idea is to enjoy their company.
