Most of the people whom I have met from online friendships I have known so well that it wasn't a surprise meeting them, although it usually took me about ten minutes to adjust to the person in person. There were things about them that i imagined differently - mannerisms, height, voice. But after that ten minutes I was adjusted and felt like they were the same person I knew all along.

Subject: Online relationships - Another weird survey ...
... If I may.
Many of you have met me, live and in the flesh.
Am I different in person than I come across in my posts to the lists?
We're any of you that expected to see me - surprised at
My appearance?
My demeanor?
My outlook on life?
Anything?
Having a discussion on a forum - and there's someone saying that friends
you make online are not necessarily who you think they are - which can
often be quite right - however - I have met people after "knowing" them
online and have not been surprised - meaning I had pre-conceived notions
of what they would be like and look like and act like - and I was right
on. No surprises.
Wondering what other people have experienced ...
Cheers,
Erika
