How To Meet A Nintendo Fanatic Online Friend In IRL

By Claudine Hodges


For gamers, it is only a given for them to join groups that will allow them to contact those who got the same hobbies. This is only a given if they want to know some tips or cheats regarding the game that they are playing. They can enjoy a lot of things when they are accepted in an online group for the game that they love.

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, you got to know first where the meet up is before you say okay. This is so that you can decline if the place is not a safe one for you. If possible, you must only agree to attend a meeting if the said venue is at a public place. A good example of a public place you can host a meeting at is a local restaurant.

Do not hesitate to bring a friend to the said meeting. You can ask for the permission of the one in charge of the IRL meeting for that too. The friend that you bring should not be someone who can ruin the mood of this meeting. This is also a way to ensure your safety when you are meeting your online friends.

While you are expecting your online associate to not be creepy during this first meeting in real life, you should not be creepy yourself. You should not give off the impression of creepiness, especially during this first meeting. If possible, try to lay off on those jokes and acts that will give off a creepy impression to your friends.

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 research first before you agree to meeting others online in real life or before you go to the meeting. It will help you determine whether it is really okay or not to meet up with this person. The things you learn about the said person will also help you start a conversation during this meeting.

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.
