Meeting a virtual friend for the first time.

avatar

Hello COM i am having a fabulous weekend and i know you are too.
We do have alot of social media friends whom we never met before maybe because of our distances or availability and interest. They are some people i see and i admire them so much to a point that we end up as best friends if it happens to be a girl, and i usually dont think twice to know if she's human or not.

The way social media has influenced some of us this days, i can unknowingly have conversations with a bot and even call them the love of my life(loml) thinking they are real humans like me. we only deal with the front end without knowing how it came through the back end. a guy can set up a female profile and have a serious engagement with you and you wouldn't know.

I know a good number of wedded couples who met themselves online and worked their relationships out till they met themselves in person and finally got married in the end. This happened to be one of my greatest motivation and i believe i can also tell these same story too as far as i am not a potato, i am human just like them.

I met a friend online and she was curious about seeing me but i don't do dates. so i kept postponing her proposal until i finally decided to play along. i fixed a date and she fixed the venue. This was the very first time i decided to go on a date with a virtual friend I've never met before, and it was also the day i knew that Snapchat and Photoshop applications deserves to be paid for the effort and job they offer on people's photos online.

Making you look entirely different from who you are. This is how i stood in front of the person i was to meet and still called her on phone telling her that i just arrived at the venue what's she still doing at home? immediately i placed the call, a girl infront of me started making her own call too unfortunately we began talking to each other on phone. "ohh you must be sparkling_presh" i asked whole grinning at her in confusion, What i saw was different from what i expected because she didn't resemble any of her online photos. darker in complexion and nearly a thousand pimples all over the face.

I really dont know if she was thinking i have made it in life because of the nice clothes i wore. shockingly for me she told me she was hungry and as a guy i had to play a fair date by getting her food in an eatery. Just in one day i spent nearly 10k which is about 15 HBD's or more.

This has given me alot of trust issues when i meet someone online because you never know their real character untill you both go out on a date or spend time together, also when i see a picture online and i find these three emojis on it ❤️💙💚 i know that snapchat has taken her time to cook and make it look tasty so i disregard them.

Do you also have a virtual friend whom you decided to meet physically too? how was the experience I would love to hear from you too in the comments and until then, do have a great week guys.

Haha you were just unlucky with the first friend you met physically... Some people get attached immediately even though it's their first time meeting up.

But it's rare to find sha 🥲

I've met a few people physically but not after a long time of chatting, video calls and getting acquainted... It's always fun when we finally meet 😊

About the Snapchat and it's transformation, not all filters do have the three love emojis... There are plain but super transforming ones too.

Just be hopeful that some of them will do no filters sometimes to see their real faces. I like snap chat too but I do no filters a lot, my smile is beautiful enough 😁 make I praise myself small.

Haha.. yeah you're right but most importantly is that you must know a Snapchat picture no matter how they kept their hand to snap it 😆.

Very true i could relate to that maybe i wasn't really interested in this very one.

Growing up, I didn't believe in virtual friendship or relationship as people do because of some risk
