Yep - and I made 2 best friends out of it :)

1. This is Amy, I've met her twice. We were talking on McFly Street Team, and were going the same gig, so I gave her my number, and then when I was at the venue, I texted her. I was sitting on the steps outside, and she was like, I'm at *whateveritscalled* having a coffee, and I'll come over. So I was like, where is this place? and it turns out I was sitting the other side of a wall to her! Was so random, but we're great mates now. That was in July, and I met her again at a gig in August, I got 2nd row 'coz of her :'D

2. I met a girl called Emily on McFly Street Team too, and I met her at the same gig in July I met Amy at! She's awesome! Seeing her again at X Factor in March. :)

3. One of my best friends, Nicc! The pic in my avatar is from the day I met her... I got the train to Manchester, and met in Piccadilly gardens :)

4. and one of my other best friends, Vicky! Met her the same day I met Nic, went to the train station to pick her up with Nic, and then we went to see Dave Hunter at a gig (:. Going to see her again in February/March... gonna get the train down to London :)

I've met a few more too, like Kel, Lucy, Amber, Meg and Rebs, but they're not really my best friends, I just know them lol xx

Yeah.. 2 of my best friends I first met online. They don't live too far away so we meet up as much as we can.
Also spoke to some WWE fans online then met them on tours. They have helped me meet Chris Jericho and other wrestlers.

Haha nice one Nicky, were you a bit weary to do it or did you just dive straight in?

Haha, thanks!

Um, I just dived straight in. Like, I'd seen them on webcam, and had been talking to them for a while... and I made sure I met them in a busy place, just as Liverpool Echo Arena or Manchester Piccadilly. When we were on the way to meet them, me and my mate Becca were taking the mick that they were weird men, and had deep voices and shiz... but I knew I wasn't in any trouble lol ... they're just normal people (: Xx

Ahhhh thats cool, yeah if you see them on webcam and voice with them and stuff it's usually ok!! I think it's sort of an urban myth that people can be that naive, maybe like 4 or 5 years ago, but not now

I hate it when people are like, omg, you've met someone from the net? How stupid are you? and I'm like, no... I've made some amazing friends from the net... is that not allowed? and they're like, they cudda been weirdos. :| ... but they're not haha!
It's just because they put on someones been killed by someone from the net and stuff... but they never put like, good things about it.... silly! Xx

Aye, although, read this -

http://www.thisisexeter.co.uk/features/Teaching-youngsters-cyberspace-dangers/article-1650334-detail/article.html

It mentions someone adding a fake Dougie on FB, and then he asked to meet her, so weirdos do know that McFly's fans are mostly teenage girls :3

Are you thinking of meeting someone from the net or something? lol xx

Wow yeah :S, that is what they like test the naivety keep pushing and pushing them to see how far they will go, some pull it off well. I've heard lots of stories about African con men making women fall in love with them, then getting all their money.

And nah it just was a random thread lol but who knows ;)
