That’s the hard part, finding somewhere to meet.

Just Google hotel day rooms.

Gosh, that would be a long time to keep someone waiting for a meet.. or, perhaps they’re still in that hotel room, getting on rather well!

@dramafreeandeasy

I do hope so, this post first aired in May, 2021.

Who knows? …perhaps they’ve been paying subs for 4 years hoping to get some advice from us all?! Eeeek!

@emnem123

Is it “just” a forum though? I’m not suggesting trying out cheesy chat up lines or openly asking someone out on a date.. I agree with SirrahKen regarding the potential interest in a person developing from chatting here. I’ve previously come across members of IE that appear to be interesting, yet once the private messaging starts it descends into brainless one sentence replies that go nowhere.

Any way, do you think the OP has had their date yet?

it would be great to be planning a meet,
however, I think I'm living a remote, lightly populated part of the country!!!

in North Northumberland - as contacts and opportunities seem very low up here (:-(

Be certain there’s an exit route

First meet should be in a public place for safety reasons, make sure about the other person before being somewhere you could be potentially vulnerable. Find a suitable place safely away from both of your real lives somewhere in the middle. If it clicks start googling somewhere you can go for your chosen "activity".

You’re absolutely right. And if you want to meet someone, I think that these forums are the best place to show who you are. Come here, message, engage with people - and then contact people whose messages you like*. It’s a great way to end up on a fulfilling date - or more (well, as long as you come across as interesting and engaging).

And apart from anything else, they’re good fun. Anyone who doesn’t engage on the forums is missing out!

Not really, it's just a forum, not designed to get to know people.

Who would share too much about themselves on here, that's between two people, not all and sundry.
