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, 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.

It is fine to expect the online friends to not creep you out during the meeting. Most importantly, you must not be creepy yourself. You have to show impeccable manners and be courteous to the online friends you are meeting up. No matter how long you are friends with them online, they are still strangers.

You can rely on your instincts when making a decision as to whether or not you will attend an IRL meeting. When you feel like the person online is creeping you out and he or she asks you to meet up IRL, then you can simply say no. Do not be afraid to offend them since they do not really know you.

You have to do proper research regarding the friends you will be meeting up in real life. Before you go to the meeting, you have to pack yourself with some information regarding the people you are meeting for the first time. These information will usually be helpful in starting conversations.

You have to be wary of the things you talk about with this person. Try to keep your personal issues personal. Do not expose yourself too much to the people you just met for the first time. Try to keep the topic at a level that is okay to share.
