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.

Nowadays, there are a lot of groups online that are catering to those who are into gaming and stuff. It should not be a difficult task for you to find other Nintendo fanatic through these groups. You can then find more friends than you can imagine. Through these groups, you can talk about games that you are too familiar with.

When you are comfortable with the group, you might be asked to attend an IRL meeting. This is the meeting where you have to meet up with the friends you met in the online group. If you are about to attend an IRL meeting, then here are some of the tips you can follow to make the experience pleasant.

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.

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 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.
