To be scared to meet MNers in real life?

[JoblessNobless]

Longtime lurked here who seldom posts as you all seem much wittier and wiser than me!

I notice that there are meet ups between MNers regularly. My question is, are the ones you have met really as dazzling in their charm or pithy in their wit as they would have you believe? Or (gulp) even more so?

Of course, if they are crashingly dull feel free to say so, haha. Personally I would be quite scared to meet some...too good to be true, or maybe intimidating. What are your experiences, and AIBU?

I have been to 2 Xmas meet ups and have met 2 MNers. The Big meets were very scary and I won't be going again, but meeting the other two was great! Poor MNer I met recently can't get shot of me

I was there and most people didn't know eachother. It was good fun!

bitoffun...were you in manchester xmas dooo

god I am crap....

I didnt recognise anyone sorry sqounky XXX

Ive met tonnes of mners.. some I stalk see more often than others

What am I going to spend in the offy now? [huff] I'm going to go and have a good cry now at Marley And Me with my mum and dad and dd1 now...see you guys later!

might see you next do then wotulookingat

I hold the same "paranoid" view on this as Bohemian Bint

Prefer to keep my rl friends in rl and my net friends on the net

i need no payment for declaring your lovelyness to the world....just one of those Hatton prints

she really is fab though

I shall hold you to that, Diva!

Ive met one. she was lovely, was bricking it though before hand! But Im nervous anyway.

I found out today that a lady I go to a toddler group with is a MNer. We didn't ask/tell each other our MN names though!

how did you find out, Iwish?
I think MN should provide badges for us to wear.

I wouldn't mind people knowing I was a mumsnetter!!! Not sure about letting my posting name slip though! Posts revealing my lack of taste would bite me on the bum I'm sure!!!!

Divamakes - might see you at this years Manchester do if there is one. I could not go to last years as we took the boys to a concert in Manchester the week before so was a bit low on spends.

Im in Manchester but meet up too scary! lol

I have met loads of MNetters in RL, all lovely and most of them just what i expected including COD.

I must admit to quaking a little before that meet

is that one before xmas? i should really hang around meet up threads, im in north staffs but noone seems in my local and no meet ups so far since 2005
disenchanted lets meet up> im not scary either glamour

Disenchanted whereabouts in MCR are you? (A clue will do!)I'm deffo going to the xmas do this year after missing out on the last one. I might need a map and very good directions though!

Podrick - its not the first time a woman has found me a bit funny.

fattiemumma Me too!

I was scared to meet you though, In fear of your amazing breasts.

Not sure if BoF told you why I couldn't make it?

she did. my response was something along the lines of &T((%T$&%_(£&%(^£

you had no need to fear, norks were well hidden

I'm a Parker...I would love to meet you all...it could be a Mumsnet lovefest

wotulookinat She said,"I've just started posting on this fab site. It's called Mumsnet and I spend far too long on there now!"
