Who here has met someone off Lit?

[MrMikelobe1952]

Yes - I am. As I said, we met here planning to be FWB, realized that we felt more for each other and then I was diagnosed with breast cancer....held my hand while I went through chemo, multiple surgeries, a plethora of other medical issues, supported me financially and otherwise, let me force him to marry me (inside joke)....and he's been a good egg (finally, after more than a few heated discussions!) about agreeing to an open marriage.....most likely I'll keep him around for at least another 15 years

THat is a remarkable story. CAn't believe your Lit stories are as meaningful, but I'll have a read.

If I'm not being too nosy
I see that you have been following up on the open marriage side of the arrangment, seeking an FWB.
Has he also followed through?

REally nosy of me, I know.

I've met with three women from Lit. I had multi-year online relationship with two of them in addition to our times physically together. They were (and still are) incredible people I enjoyed knowing. The distances involved made it impractical to maintain our relationships, but I wish we could have kept things going. I hope to be lucky enough to meet another lady from Lit and to get to know her.

In some ways I do. But I am intensely private as in real life, I am very publicly known (think magazine covers, national reviews, etc). So I couldn't bring myself to "go public". But I have met some from here offline (as friends you perverts!). And had a great time. And as far as I know, only one Lit member active on here knows what I really look like (nobody really wants to see a 300lb dwarf anyhow).

I'm thinking as a 300# dwarf you'd have made a splash!

I'm reading some of my old old old posts and in kind of a kooky mood, sorry I used to be the life of the party...dang! what happened there? Also, I used to be 40, sigh.

It's totally ok if you meet people offline as things other than friends...we're all friendly perverts ya know! At least we really used to be, as I'm finding, reading those old threads. Now I'm dreadfully sorry that I didn't go to that get-together.

Being private is a thing, especially if you're a celebrity IRL, too many creepers around these days.

Just curious if anyone has met some off of Lit? Have you? Would you? Want to?

My story is yes!! He and I met up a few months ago and honestly it was the best decision I could have ever made at the time. Sadly - when you’re always made to feel like there is better or more out there you learn to stop listening to him.

One day I’ll be enough for someone and he’ll be here

It sounds like you had a meaningful connection with someone you met on Lit! Meeting people online can lead to wonderful experiences; through the years, I have had a few wonderful and lasting experiences. As for me, there would have to be a tremendous amount of compatibility in order for me to consider meeting someone in person. If you ever want to talk more about your experiences or anything else, feel free to share!

My Lit stories are all about me - sinful, I know....but cathartic, if not meaningful. Read away!

DREADFULLY nosy - but I like to say that I have an insatiable curiosity about EVERYTHING myself...therefore I am happy to report that he is venturing out into the wilds of the open marriage lifestyle!

Hope it works out for you. I gather that there can be a lot of emotional challenges.

Never have. Have not chatted with any one on here from my area which is not surprising.

 

[AbsintheFather]

I can think of five Litsters I've met. I've not had a bad experience. Some visited me when they were travelling through my area and some I've travelled to see. I've done breakfast, lunch, beers and dinners. All were people I already knew well from chatting over an extended period of time and, although most are not here anymore, I'd still consider them to be friends.

 

[vibes]

I'd change my Title, but I'm absolutely more 'addictive' than I am formerly vanilla.....

I'll take your word for it

 

[elizaloo]

Thank you.

Yes - we've been through most of those already (or, I have anyway) - it's been a discussion many, many years in the making.

 

[13Fantasies]

A Lit meet-up could be fun. I wish they still did these

 

[AlwaysDancing]

Kind of. We live quite close and used to live closer.
We haven’t met and I don’t think we will. We’re both conscious of how the fantasy became a friendship and how the friendship could be ruined by the fantasy. If that mages sense

 

[beachbaby179]

I've met many. I've traveled to meet some, others have been to my home. One has met my family. All but one have been great experiences. That one was my first, and I learned much from it. Lit has some of the best people I've ever met.

 

[ILuvTo69Her]

I've met a few women from Lit and it was such a good time. Only time will tell if I meet more in the future.

do you or would you meet another ? you could PM me your answers if you rather not tell the group.

 

[Snowbunny020]

do you or would you meet another ? you could PM me your answers if you rather not tell the group.

Would I do it all again? In a heartbeat . No regrets. Would I meet someone new? Highly unlikely… too hard accepting truths.

YES!

Back in the day, I became friends with a woman and her family and they camped with us and our kids....we were fast friends...wish I'd kept up the friendship.

I've met so many intelligent, witty, kind, generous men here lately (online and in person) and while I'm not looking to replace the hubs, they're people I'm thankful to call close friends. Y'all know who you are

Lit has always been a community with a few rotten apples. It may take delicate picking, but with some work, most likely, you can find what you're looking for here.

While I agree that there are many people on here who are great, it isn't just Lit that has the bad apples. I have met people from other sites and chat rooms and there are some that I still call friends and others that I ended that meeting in less than 30 min.

 

[servant_heart]

I did, moons ago! Just for coffee. It was a lot of fun. Would do it again, absolutely. I did spend many months getting to know them beforehand though to make sure they passed the weirdo test (she did pass, she was weird).

so.. the weirdo test is to assure the weird?

 

[VAguy86]

Everybody is a little weird, it is the ones who hide their weirdness that you need to be wary of

 

[positiveflirt]

so.. the weirdo test is to assure the weird?

An appropriate level of weird, certainly

Not surprised - you must get out more than I do I've never gone to any other sites or chat rooms looking. Hubs met up with people back when Yahoo? I think, had a chat room and AOL....yeah, he's old.

I did blow past my own goalposts one time and met a local Lit guy for lunch a day or so after introducing ourselves here. Lucked out that he's a nice guy and we still chat.
