Hmmmm.....this is always an interesting one. My answer would be: it completely depends on a pretty long list of factors. Regardless of sexual attraction or not on either party's side, under these circumstances I would not be hurt or offended: 1) there has never been any discussion about meeting 2) we are not really good, close friends (either online or offline), but, rather, just casual chatters who generally interact in a friendly way (from the original post and by reading your responses to others this sounds like you are thinking along these lines as well) Under those two conditions I would be fine. Now, if circumstances were different, I could be anything from hurt to just mildly disappointed, but, again, that would be under different circumstances and conditions of the situation. Peace

Nope, no problem unless I had previously known them intimately

lots of reasons why. wouldn't be a biggie especially if no interest at all. different story if you'd been trying to see each other.

Why? Why would I care if someone who has nothing better to do but come to my wonderful city, didn’t have the guts to let me know there in town? Her loss not mine! On the flip side my ego would be automatically hurt but when you realize that nothing would of happen anyway, I might plan a trip to her city and post it all over my page⚡️😉⚡️ 4124 EMK

No. Life is too short to worry about that

Hm. I guess that might be dependent upon whether they told me or someone else did. If they told me they'd been in the area, I'd guess that they had a reason for not reaching out...and while I would have been disappointed that we couldn't meet for a coffee or drink or something, I wouldn't have taken it personally. If someone else shared that info with me, I'd probably be a little hurt that they didn't mention it. "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." – Mark Black

Joey and I would not take it personally at all. Traveling implies that the person is either in the area on business or to visit family and/or friends. Meeting up with a friendly online acquaintance is hardly a priority in that type of scenario. It wouldn't offend me or have any effect on the friendship I have with that person. That being said, I would mention something along the lines of, "The next time you're in my neck of the woods, we should try to meet up over coffee or a beer, if you have the time." Joey and I have found ourselves on the other side of this scenario, just due to the nature of our job. We roll through and spend the night in so many different cities, we can't help but think that it would be nice to make a few new friends here and there, just to have people we can hang out with from time to time. The hard part about approaching somebody on a "friendship only, we just want to say hi" type of meet, is making sure that we don't hurt anyone's feelings, if they were to expect more than friendship. The other side of that coin is even more tricky for us, in a way. Let's say that we have been getting along swimmingly with a female blogger and we find out that we are going to end up spending the entire weekend in her city. We want to reach out in a way that makes it perfectly clear that we would be meeting up as friends and friends alone. No hidden agendas, no bullshit. With the countless numbers of assholes and bullshitters in this site that would say or do anything just to meet up with somebody, how can we prove that we are, indeed, genuine with our intent. How can we prove our honesty when zo many others have been dishonest in the past? We have tried to reach out to a few friends and/or blog buddies on here, but have yet to meet anyone because they are being cautious. I am sure that one day, we will start to meet a few of the awesome people here in Blogland. By the way... For the record, Joey and I did think of you when we drove through OKC on our way to Cali last week. Unfortunately, we did not have very much time to spare on that particular run. Plus, we kind of figured you would say, "No thank you, Honey Balls!"

No, jut be surprised. It would als depend if they came Tony house or contacted me to say they were in town. I’d go have a drink but explain we are just friends
| ||

I would not have taken it personally. But I would ask why I was not considered.

i guess i did not respond the way you wanted me too... but calling me a troll still does not change my answer but if you insist on something simpler... it is possible that he has no attraction to you as well and the internet chats are just to kill time. so no the meet is not necessary and should not be expected there is a world of difference between insanity and stupidity

No reason to take it personal
| ||
|

(no, this isn't about anyone in particular) this was how you ended your question... therefore in my mind it was not about your friend,someone you know, nor any real person my response of "never mix virtual with reality" simply means although you may be best of friends or lovers online is rarely the same in real life... had you read read my reply you would have noticed that it was written not only gender neutral but was not pointed at any one person. as to you blocking me that is your choice and privilege... but do keep in mind whichever you choose, it will not change the color of my socks bonne chance there is a world of difference between insanity and stupidity

It would depend on how long they were in town and if I already had plans. If I had plans then no it would not bother me.

but it is a truth... his/her passing through without shouting out for a possible bite or even a coffee was no big deal it would just have passed unwritten. yet someone took the trouble to put words to screen... not that action alone means that it was on someone's mind. just the way you phrased it... and i believe it was just venting more than wanting an response... but me being me had to answer so in the end anyone that asks an opinion usually lacks confidence in how to react to a situation but in the end... how much weight does my opinion carry happy holy days there is a world of difference between insanity and stupidity

Why would I expect anything. If you are onla friends online, why would you have to meer in RL? Don't take it personally, this is just a game. Friendly game. Not obligation.

Generally speaking, yes, I think I'd feel a bit slighted to know that not a word was said, if they were in my area. This may merely be a hypothetical scenario you describe, but I have a tendency to critically think or over-think a scenario. So, in other words, what are the unknown variables? What is the frequency of his / her travels to your area? Is this a once in a lifetime sort of thing from someone visiting the states from Japan, or is this person regularly in your immediate area on business trips, vacations, etc... on a fairly regular basis a handful of times annually? If this was a once and done deal that I got passed by on, then I'd personally take it harder than if it was someone that was in the area more frequently. Either way, I'd be a bit annoyed. It's the thought that counts! Even if the person informed you, but made it clear that they'd have no time to meet due to a a very short stay or whatever the reason was for their stay that made them super busy and unable to arrange a meet.

Probably wouldn't take it personally.

I wouldn't, because If I knew them (In A General Friendly Way) then I would figure that whatever they came to town for was not about me. Also I have learned that people do things their way, not mine. If in the future I would like the person to contact me when they come to town, then I would let them know afterwards. If they say no then cool, we are friends (In A General Friendly Way) and I would appreciate their honesty.

No big deal. On this site theyre probably not who they say they are anyways
| ||
|
Nope. Couldn’t have given a flying fuck if someone did that. As simple as that.
| ||
|
There could me numerous reasons why they did not get in contact with you, and heck it is their loss and I am sure you would be amazing!!!!

Yes it shows they care or at least are thinking about you
| ||
12/31/2018 7:01 am |

I would not. We all are very busy. Tough sometimes to squeeze in a workout. We do have to make time for those events we want to attend.
