I don't have any sorta scary stories like that! I have never met a person in real life that I met online.
My husband and I have formed some friendships with people that we have met in online games. When the game Guild Wars was released, (in 2005) I met a person from Australia and one from Michigan (I'm in Florida) that after some months we traded phone numbers and call each other regularly. We talk about our lives, our kids, finances, the state of the world and of course games.
It's weird in a good way. My husband talks to both of them regularly (they are both male, I'm female), so there is no jealousy. I actually think he's become better friends with them than I have!
But we have never met in real life.
Weirdest part? I'm certain if either of them called and asked for us to come help them with something, we would be on a plane immediately to help. I can't say that for some people who live within minutes of me that I have met in the flesh.
