Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was just wondering what all the ladies thought about meeting guys on WoW? Not like I need advice... my wow is frozen, and I just got my heart broken crying So this is just out of curiosity. Would you ever date or want to meet someone in real life from WoW? Would you play with your significant other, and if so, to what extent? Just wanted to know what your thoughts were.

It's a good thing I can't play now, because it's hard to do anything on the computer with fake nails

I actually met my boyfriend on wow... rolleyes

We were in STV, his friends were trying to get some lowbie and one of the boys who was there was my first ever friend on wow (lyke omg bffs!), who he also knew, told me to get over there so I could be amused. Both me and Rich (the bf) were bored, so we got to talking. Eventually I got antsy and went to go kill some raptors. He saw that my life was getting pretty low and came to save me, but by the time he had gotten there I had already killed and looted the thing.

I always thought online relationships were kinda lame but we just clicked... and we were best friends first, we both were in other relationships that were turning out badly, then after a month or two went by we both got single... decided we were in love, and started dating. Its hard.. he lives in Cali and I live in Illinois, so the relationship is getting a bit expensive, but i don't regret it for a minute.

As for playing together... we're in the same guild for the first time in a year, but we don't really play together much because we usually end up fighting... us being in the same group is a recipe for disaster unless its a raid. hehe

One of my closest guy friends met his girlfriend on WoW. They had been talking for a long time, got each other's numbers, I guess, and started dating. He found out she lived in the state below him and went there without either of their parents knowing and, uh, secretly lived in her closet. He got in a lot of trouble for that. But, anyway, they are still together and they are happy.

But, generally, I would not advise looking for a mate on any part of the Internet.

There was a really creepy guy in my old guild that used to hit on my best friend. He really thought he was like, in love with her. And then one day, he asked her out and she was just like, "o_O..."

And I suppose he took that as a yes...

And for the longest time, whenever she signed on, "Hey there, love of my life, cute, sweetie, baby, etc."

>.<

I wouldn't suggest looking for a mate on the internet either, but I did meet my husband online in a chat room when I was 14 we talked for years, and eventually met in person. We've been happily married for over a year now. smile so they can work out, just be super careful if you decide to "date" someone over the internet.

Wow, that's a tough one.

This is all in my own opinion, but I think talking to your mom about it would be best before making any big decisions. If it were me, and a possibility, I'd meet him at Blizzcon, where there will be lots of people in case he's psycho, and see how you guys do IRL. Because honestly, there's a big difference between online and RL. It'll also give you time to think about how you really feel for him and if he's worth going that far from home for. As for the age thing- I'm not one to comment, as someone who generally likes much younger guys, though I have been attracted to a couple who were eight to ten years older than me as well. The first thing I always think is, will he look good when he ages? Lol. I'm kind of shallow though, I admit it.

I hope that helps some ^^;

Anyway, I'm having a problem in WoW now too. I used to be in a large guild called Dark Souls, but a few months ago there was some big drama, and a huge fallout. Basically all the good players left the guild, and some of us started our own chat channel where we now keep in contact all the time without having to be in the same guild. There are actually a good amount of girls on my server, and just under half of our "meta-guild" chat members are girls. So here's the problem-

A couple of the guys in our channel have sort of attached themselves to me. They're highly flirtatious and not always subtle about it. Oddly, one of them is pretty young, about 18, and the other one is a good deal older than I am- early 30s. They're both very sweet, but I don't want either of them to think anything will happen between me and them, because it would only lead to lots of drama on the one channel that I can usually rely on to be drama free, and that would make me feel horrible.

The other bad thing is that I almost feel like they're competing for my attention now, which is also bad, because I like them both equally. I'm generally really shy in real life, so I've never been a source of competition before, and it's really irritating.

Any suggestions on how to give them the hint without upsetting things too much?

I figured that might be the case. I'm so bad with confrontation, but yeah, I don't want there to be any misunderstandings and I especially don't want any drama. I hate drama.

I should have rolled a male toon and just faked being a dude xD Or stop correcting people when they assume I am.

Anyway, thank you for the advice ^.^

I agree, except that some people (and admittedly there aren't many that can do it well), can change what they are really like online to some extent. Just as only talking online can show you stuff you might not see from meeting them in Real life, they can also hide things that might be important in a real life relationship. And being with and living with someone is still very different from just talking to them and turning them off when you want to go, lol.

But I do agree Shinny, when people are being truthful it's easier to see stuff about their personality online you might not pick up on IRL.
