Tips In Meeting An Online Nintendo Fanatic Friend Offline

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.

There are many other benefits that one can enjoy if he or she is enrolled in an active online community for games. This is especially fun for those who are Nintendo fanatic. It will be easier for you to look for friends who share similar hobbies as yours if you just join an active community for gamers.

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.

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.
