Meeting for real

[tickle_me_there]

Hey guys

I have a question that I am sure has probably come up many a time but I can't seem to find it in the archives. How many of you have met up in real life - and have many of these meets led to relationships? I have recently met a guy who is registered on here (and if he is reading hi hun!) and we luckily live very nearby so plan to meet soon.

Just wondering how the rest of you found these type of real experiences - were you nervous / did they go better than you had hoped for / did they turn out to be more than just a tickle partner in the end?

Thanks!

First meetings are always nerve-wracking...

...not to mention potentially dangerous if you really don't KNOW this person yet. First meetings ought to be in public places like a restaraunt or something like that, so if they drop their charming facade and turn out to be an axe-murderer, you can call it a day without putting yourself in a precarious predicament (notice how I DIDN'T say 'ticklish situation' there? 🙄 ). I'm sure you're being careful and have talked extensively with one another via PM's, email, instant messaging, and perhaps the telephone. Just use common sense and don't end up on a milk carton!

Here's hoping that you have a lot of laughs and this turns out to be yet another TMF success story.

I met my first TMF'er a few weeks ago. She only lives three miles away from me, if you can believe that. First, we met at a Starbucks and got to know each other. Then we went to a park a few times and I learned just how pretty a ticklish laugh can sound. We went to a double feature at a drive-in theater and barely paid any attention to the movies...her feet being in my lap the entire time!

As for any long term relationship happening...she has a few personal issues that need to be taken care of before she can see me again. When all of that is settled, I'd be happy to be her friend or more, if that's what she'd like.

affectionate dan - i hear what you're saying and will of course meet in a public place. But as for the axe murderer thing - this is something that has always confused me. Because an axe murderer is not likely to show his true colours at first - not until you ARE alone which is why I don't see how you can ever really know. I understand of course the point that you must be careful but i think that people tend to see people you have met from the net as more dangerous than meeting say someone you have met in a bar. Surely everyone is potentially dangerous. At what point do you feel you can wander off into a 'ticklish situation' safely?

Thanks

I have met someone from tt before quite awhile back and he and I were going to the same college together so it was quite easy to have a little fun! We never made anything of it, but it was certainly an experience...

I agree with Danimal about the first meeting being both nerve-wracking and potentially dangerous. My first meeting was arranged about a week after meeting the lady online. She subsequently turned out to be a complete schizo, and the friendshuip, which had lasted for a couple of years, ended with immense amounts of bad feeling.

Fortunately, every other gal (well, both of them) that I've met in real life from the Forum has been wonderful and we are still friends. There's been no "relationship" in the romantic sense, but very strong bonds have been forged thanks to meeting on this place.

I met up with a lovey guy and a true gentleman from here earlier in the year, we'd been chatting via email for a couple of years and become good friends and had also spoken a number of times on the phone too. Despite that though and feeling totally comfortable with each other we still met up in a public place and had a great time together and yes there was tickling involved.

Maybe this thread will help, lots of us have met! 😀

All's I'm sayin' is that one needs to have one's ass covered. Of COURSE you're not going to get a feel for a person's true nature just from one meeting. And that spirit of discernment needs to be listened to. If you get to KNOW a person, then that sense of comfortable trust can be gained. Anyone just showing up and jumpin' in at the deep end their first time out is just BEGGING for something bad to happen. I've said it a zillion times before and I'll say it a zillion more before I'm gone, "A little bit of common sense goes a long way". Words to live by, Gang. Those going through life with rose-colored glasses may think I'm a cynical, grumbly ol' bear, but I prefer to think of myself as practickle 😉 and aware of what's really going on around me. Some of the rudest surprises in life come to those who aren't prepared.

Be prepared, Tickle Scouts.

Real Meeting

Regarding these posts, I agree with playing it safe. For both parties. The two female friends that I tickle I met on-line. But, it started as chat buddies slowly forming a friendship over time. It moved to phone conversations and eventually a real meet in a public place. No romantic relationship happened but it works out well since all parties are married. I enjoy good friendships and levels of trust with each individual. But I stress it took time and trusting your gut or intuition if you will as the process unfolds. Any jump right in situation is indeed inviting trouble. Use your head and your heart and most of all ..be safe. Happy Tickling...T

I've met a couple of folks from the online tickling community for one on one tickling play. Two of them turned out to be good friends (who I still play with when the occassion comes around), and the last one I met will be my husband in a year and a half...lol.

Lazarus and I first started corresponding online for about 3 months before we decided to meet, for what was supposed to be a tickling session since we only lived 3 hours apart from one another. We wound up spending the whole weekend together and have been inseperable ever since. That was in the Spring of 2003. We've been living together for 1 1/2 years now, and are engaged to be married in 2006.

Several of us have hooked up just that same way. It now happens quite a bit on the TMF, and I'm thrilled to see the number of success stories continue to grow at such a speedy pace!

Mimi 🙂

P.S. Forgot to answer one of your questions....yes, we were both INCREDIBLY nervous. We didn't know what to expect, but it went so magically we thought we were living out a fairy tale!

Here is another idea...if you know other females on the TMF, you can always get a reference from HERE!!!
Or ask a Mod in PM if they have heard anything bad or GOOD! about the person you plan on meeting.

Being a guy, whenever I plan on meeting a lady for the first time, I always give them a reference of who I have tickled in the past on this forum or elsewhere...so they can contact someone I have met and feel safe.

I would also suggest that maybe the first meeting there should be no or limited bondage...that way you aren't completely tied down and vulnverable and if you do get a good vibe then further bondage can be included or added.

You will feel a bit like you are on a first date really, nervous but good nervous.

speaking from personal experience

I advise girls to use extreme caution.
Several years ago, I met someone on a message forum and chatroom; someone I believed was nice. I found to my horror his online persona was totally different than the sadistic jerk he truly was. I really trusted him, enough after several months to confide my location (he also lived in Georgia), and agreed to meeting him for dinner, hopeful it was destiny. Boy was I wrong.

Our meeting at a restaurant ended with me being frightened out of my wits, slapped across the face, and stalked for months afterwords when I refused to meet him again. He continued to harrass me and my new boyfriend (now fiancee), even as recently as late 2003. My fiancee carries a gun for protection and we're considering security for our wedding next summer, just in case the jerk shows up to cause trouble 🙁

Needless to say, I learned my lesson the hard way. Why I no longer visit online chatrooms, give out my email, or response to private messages (and turn the p.m. feature OFF whenever possible).

I met a few people off the TMF it was fun, but we met as friends and hung out, then I met Jester and I got him interested in the TMF so he met someone off the TMF before he even knew about it

 

[EvlJester]

Smurfy is the reason that i got on the forum and i admitted the tickling thing and my foot fetish.

I met with AphroditeRabbit on Saturday ..What an amazing time i had. words couldnt even describe how i felt.
