Who here has made actual friends on the forums that you spoke to on here and then met up with now and again?

As for me, even though I've been on here since 2017 and posted some good threads, I don't think I have sadly.

One or two but honestly not as much as I'd like, always open for a casual chat, whether or not it goes further we can always see how it goes

Not from the forum, no. I've tried to meet a couple of people but it didn't happen.

One of my early meets on here was with someone I got chatting to on a "ask in private, answer in public" thread though, and he was a fantastic guy who I count myself fortunate to have spent a few weekends with. Sadly UNLOS and no longer swinging, but it was great while it lasted!

I'm not sure I'm hugely sociable really, but when I think about it I've got to know a few people on here and Fabguys who get in touch every now and again, and we'll either chat on the phone or meet for a drink or two of something - which I really appreciate. I'm just not that great in getting in touch myself, that's my problem. I know I turn a few people away from time to time, esp often sexually-incompatible men asking for friendship (there's a lot of lonely ppl on fab) - but when it just happens of course it's great. We all need these kind of pals I think, people you get on with who know some of your secret kinks! --pt

I have a couple I'm very good friends with. We met in the usual Fab way for the usual Fab things but they started a family and things fizzled out when they left here - but - we stayed in touch.

We see each other maybe 3 or 4 times a year now and, like I say, we're just friends.

I met the best friend I could have ever wished for on fab. Covid got in the way but now I'm making up for lost time & getting back into going away for what will hopefully be many visits & nights out. It's nice to click & trust someone enough to move things beyond fab & into real life.

As it's just a group of friends meeting up, I'd say it was by invite only. You're in Southampton, according to your profile, so I'd say it was a little far for you. X
