Yep

I've met a few at the meets who didn't measure up to their online personas. The larger-than-life online personality, disappointingly, didn't translate well into real life.

On the flip side someone I met recently, who is a cracker online, turned out to be far more than I expected.

applause NICE!..I've been missing all these good news stories!

Of the few people i've met/dated, maybe 2 haven't been what i'd expected. No matter how much banter and craic you have with someone online, you'll never know until you meet face to face how you'll get on
