Tips In Meeting An Online Nintendo Fanatic Friend Offline

By Claudine Hodges


If you are a gamer, then you are surely one of those people who are frequently active in online groups. Through these online groups, it should not be a problem for you to find those people who are into the same stuff as you. You can find a lot of those who can understand what you are trying to say about a certain topic.

The said online group is certainly more active the more gamers there are who participate with the conversation. You can meet a lot of Nintendo fanatic there. If you are a fan of this game yourself, you will surely end up with more and more friends. It is the best outlet that you can use to indulge yourself in your hobby.

When you have been in this group for a long time, it will be high time for you to be invited for an IRL meeting. The said meeting is when you will meet up with those friends you made in the Internet. To those who are asked to attend the said meeting, here are a few of the tips that you should take into consideration.

First, only agree to meet up with your online friends in a public place. Even if you have already talked with this online friend for a long time, this person is still a stranger to you. Thus, take the time to get to know this online friend in person. Try the local restaurant as a public place to meet up.

Bring a friend with you. Of course, you have to bring someone who will not ruin the mood when you are meeting up with the online friends you have made. This is a preemptive strike against any bad intentions that this online friend turned predator might have on you.

Of course, it is only normal to expect your online friend to not be creepy. These friends will also expect you to not be creepy. That is why, you should learn to wrap up the creepiness. Basically, you just have to watch your manner and avoid giving off an impression that you are a creepy person.

Listen to your instincts. If you think that someone is creepy while you are talking with him or her online, then there is a big chance that this person might be creepy in real life too. If they have asked you to meet up in real life, you should say no. There is no need to worry about offending them since they do not know you.

Do your own research. If someone has asked to meet up with you in real life, you have to get to know a little bit about them. Try to know some things about this person beforehand. This should allow you to determine whether or not this person is a weirdo. What you learn about this person can also be a conversation starter.

The things that you talk about with these new friends should be limited to what is okay to say to them. You have to keep a tight lid on some personal information, as a precaution as well. You should only be talking about things which are okay to be talked about with strangers.
