I’ve met a fellow WP blogger personally years ago. It was fun to meet someone whom you have connected with online.

When I visited Colorado last summer, I met a blogger as well, I met a few people that I knew from the Internet in person. It was really fun meeting them. 💛💛

No, I’ve never met someone that I’ve become acquainted with online in person. I’m afraid that our online personas might be a bit different from real life anyway. It’s like meeting a celebrity, the chances of being disappointed are great. We tend to ‘typecast’ each other. {I believe we tend not to recognize how ‘ordinary’ each of us is. IMHO…It’s that kind of humbleness that the world -at large- could use a lot more of though.}

I agree Susan. However, it is fun meeting people that you have met online. I can attest to that. Having met a few in my time over the years

Yeah I agree with you Paula it was a lot of fun meeting people that I met online. I’ve never met anyone online through a dating site although I have been tempted to try tinder just for the fun of it and see what happens maybe I’ll find someone 🎀

I met some cycling fans on line, we started VeloVoices and I’ve subsequently met up with most of them. It was exactly as if we were old friends. I’ve also met up with a few fellow bloggers on my travels which was really nice.

We did, and we went out to lunch and to see a tourist thing as well. It was a brewery we went to. I can’t remember the name of this but it was really cool. We got some good photos which I shared I think

Not in the sense you are talking. I used to be on zoom calls (during covid shutdown) with people in the US and throughout the world. 😀 😀

Well zoom calls are just as good I mean I know it’s not the same as face-to-face but it’s still you get to see the person on the other end so that’s good at least and you get to talk to them and connect over zoom 😍🎀

I’ve made some good friends that way. 😀

I have, several times. I met a lot of WP bloggers over the years. Once I toured a bit through the States and met 6 bloggers. I went to the Blogger Bash in London and one blogger even lives only half an hour away. Every time I met someone it was like meeting old friends.

That’s fab Erica, I’m delighted for you how many were at the bloggers bash and do they still run those?

Oh, Gosh, I think that were about 20 to 30 people in London. Unfortunately, that Blogger Bash stopped when Covid began. I have not heard of a new one yet.
