I know what you mean, Chrissy.John and Adam, I was just admiring the photos posted in the "What do you look like thread" and was thinking about you guys. I may have missed the discussion, but would be very interested to know details about your meeting. I've never met up with a penpal before. I would be very interested to know how similar you found the person to what you perceived of them through chatting on the forum etc??? Do you understand what I'm trying to ask? Were they exactly like you imagined? Any surprises or differences in personality once hanging out in the real world?
Often the persona of someone you meet online has little correlation with their real world selves.
We got on from the first meeting at the airport, to the last day when wifey and i postponed our leaving by several hours to extend the time spent with John. Everything I expected him to be and more. Terrific guy and a wonderful few days, we just hit it off straight away and had a great time. i'm not just saying this cos it's CDR and John will be looking, PM me if you like.
Nothing negative to say whatsoever.
