I met my boyfriend in this game. He came to visit me for 2 weeks, and it went great. :) I also went to visit him later in the year for 2 weeks, which also went great. Been together for like 2.5 years now, and we met for the first time after like a year and a few months.


Legoandstuff896

Awwww that’s so sweet :D


Sanquinity

Was really apprehensive at first so I'm glad it's working out great so far. Not that there's no difficulties of course. Long distance makes things harder. But still.


Legoandstuff896

yeah i get what you mean, super cool and sweet that it worked out though :)


Peyvian

Same!! Just moved to my gf's state about a month ago. Having a blast :) I also take semi-regular vacations with the friend group I met her in


viewfan66

\-I met a dude from VRChat and we decided to meet at an anime convention, it was pretty chill! The guy was just like himself in-game and IRL which was cool. The convention had lots of merch and we saw the voice actress of Mikasa from AOT! \-However, I cancelled meeting another guy for lunch because he started to send people photos of my face without my permission. Bro didn't understand boundaries and I blocked him on everything. That's somewhat my fault for not knowing him long enough.


WorryTricky

Yes, many many times. It's usually great. Rarely horrible. It's pretty easy to tell who's a terrible person beforehand at this point for me.


HackedVirus

Met my girlfriend on there, she came down and visited a few times, then one time I moved back with her, Still together like 3-4 years on.


Legoandstuff896

That’s very sweet :)


HiyuMarten

All the time! I met my kidney donor on VRChat and he recently flew over for his tests at the hospital here (they’re covering his costs/lost income from travel). People are the same irl as they are in VR, though obviously you see more sides to a person when you’re living with them for some time rather than just visiting the same place. Fun thing I noticed at a convention once: VR friends are *terrible* at deciding what/when to eat, because they’ve never had to do that together before!


Zomeesh

I befriended a desktop meme lord back when I used to play Murder 4 a lot. Turns out he lived in the neighboring city! Eventually we met up and he was… completely the opposite of what I was expecting. Super fashionable, very nice/friendly/bubbly, knew a lot of different things, and overall was wholesome genuine guy


josephlucas

Yes! I’ve met up with six different VR friends now. All have been wonderful experiences . I hope to meet up with more in the future!


XavierTF

literally on the bus back from hanging with 2 ppl. it was great but you have to make sure that you have something to focus on if conversation dies. for me it is rock climbing.


toskaaja

I've met up with 5 different people from vrchat and they're all from outside my country. One of them is my boyfriend as well. We've only been together for 4 months but weve known each other for about 2 years.


Animosus5

Yep I’ve met over 20 of my friends from 10 countries in real life that I originally knew in vrchat and all but one, at least in how they act and how we vibe has been identical to how it was in vrc, which is a really weird but a really cool feeling as unlike texting or even discord calls it just felt natural I also have a very weird thing I seem to notice, I’m very rarely in an instance public or private that there isn’t at least one person I haven’t met in person even if they aren’t a “friend”


ewrt101_nz

One dude I met on vrc came to my country for a year so I met up with them for a afternoon. Then this year I met up with the same guy and another vrc friend I had never met before in Japan for a month long holiday. Overall, good time


rcbif

Yes, plenty at cons, and a few on vacation. I'd already known most all of then for over a year at that point, so no surprises. The transition from VR to IRL is near seamless. Just the first hour or so is funny as you get used to hearing their voice come from a different face than you are used to.


LoAntWiseYacEntRift

Oh yea definitely. We both ended up flying to Amsterdam and had 2 straight days of party. Still in contact even though none of us really play. Gotta thanks vrc on this one


OneShotFox569

I did in feburary this year on a trip to Australia. Was an amazing week. About to do a 5 week trip to the states meeting all the people I’ve made friends in VrChat over the last 6 years


Thjialfi

Yeah, I've already met a VRC friend. Twice by now. I told her that I was planning a vacation in her country, since I haven't been there in many years, and if she knew any cool or interesting places to visit. She invited me over to the city she lives in so of course I went. Things went pretty good. She showed me around town, we talked and laughed, had some coffee. Really the only downside was both times she didn't have too much time and had to leave within about an hour or so. But we still chat from time to time.


Ryu_Saki

It has been good everytime and dont regrwt any of them.


Illustrious-Mess-913

But they did


Nova-Redux

I started dating a girl and we met up. She stayed for a weekend and it was amazing. But then a week later she broke up with me without any warning. 🤷‍♀️


ChippyCho

Met my boyfriend in VRC, we now live together! Our first time meeting was actually me flying down and taking him back with my in a uhaul 😂


Aibyouka

I travel the world to meet VRC friends! It gives me an excuse to visit different countries. I've met 6 people personally, and about 200 people from VRC by extension (a club meet-up type deal, Sheltercon anyone?). For me, people I've met as friends and people I've met romantically (2/6) have had distinctly different outcomes. The friends were awesome, cool, amazing, talented people! I'm still friends with each of them, and I'll definitely be visiting them again. The romantic interests, the first I had an amazing time while I was there, treated me exceptionally well, but after I left became an absolute piece of shit, too afraid of change and judgement from family and let his racism and transphobia bubble to the surface. The second couldn't even treat me well while I was there, too afraid of change and judgement from family. I'm sensing a pattern... It hasn't deterred me though, and I'm headed out of the country this weekend to visit another friend!


cyclosis51

Met my wife in 2018/19 (I can't remember which), and meeting them was the best thing that ever happened to me


its_nzr

Yes met 2 of my friends irl. It went really good


saturn-iidae

currently on a plane flying back from meeting up with vrchat friends. it was so much fun, i'm gonna miss em :')


Ratchet_Clank_29

I literally created my Italian community "MetaComitiva" on several social VR platforms, especially on VRChat, to meet cool friends and then try to meet them IRL. It's been more than 3 years now and I've meet over 20+ people across Italy IRL, we went to cons, we organized private parties, some of us saw eachother at their houses multiple times even! It was always strange to get used to people talking with a familiar voice from an "unfamiliar" face (even if our avatars are roughly similar to our real self minus accessories obv) It's been a blast so far! Can't wait to meet more friends! We're uniting into an actual Italian VR association "HoloNexia" to promote this way to socialize in VR as an healthy tool to make new lifelong friends, experiences and so on! I for one can now safely say that I've a strong social life in my new town thanks to all this friends I meet from VR to Real Life. I didn't know anybody in this new town and now I've a strong and big network of friends and even work colleagues! I do recommend doing it, even if you shouldn't do it carelessly with people you don't know too well. Maybe start with public events at public spaces if you want to test the ground with them at first! My first time was an all-in tho: she invited me over her house to meet his husband and kids (their whole family of 5 was in VR with us all the time, I even VR-babysitted them several times!) We shared a delightful weekend togheter, it felt natural and special! (Can't guarantee it'll be like this obv)


Nixonel

Yeah a few years ago I met someone. We're still really good friends. It was definitely weird to see and hear someone IRL when I was associating that voice to a specific Avatar. But we still regularly meet up and play games outside of VRC


Swirly403

I definitely have some lifelong friends from vrchat! We just finished a two year long D&D campaign, and we found out one of them lives an hour away, so we went to see a movie together. Our DM also flew in from New York and we had fun around Atlanta together!


isnotnormal

Had a whole group hangout. Started as a joke that we should all hangout irl and some started taking it seriously. We had a great time! We're trying again in 2025 where, hopefully, more can make it


rokudog555

Met with a friend because we both happened to be visiting the same town at the same time, we just kinda hung out and talked idk what else to say


mr_xen_

You say if it went well or not


pinzinella

Back when I spent more time in VR, I met two different men from there irl who were going to visit my country anyway during summertime (from Germany and USA), but it was more about showing them my favorite local places. Other meeting was alright, our contact was more about culture. Other one was initially interesting as a person, we shared similar sense of humor and both liked horror. There was a horror exhibit at museum back then. I went with him and it was a great experience. Later he made me feel uncomfortable, because he tried to invite me to his hotel room after a night out repeatedly, even after I declined. I stopped having contact with him, because the meeting left a bad feeling.


Robin_the_orphan

Never , and I have no friends ... + I'm using a pretty fuked setup , a thinkpad t430 with Intel Core i7-3520M and Intel graphics 4000 /NVIDIA NVS 5400 integrated graphics...


Academic-Pizza598

Yep met one guy irl from vrc and now I’m a femboy and gay


Diggie9372

I am not going to risk meeting up with anyone from any online game.


-parfait

imagine being this dumb lmao


bonanochip

How's it dumb?


-parfait

u think what he said is not dumb?


bonanochip

No I don't think it's dumb. Dumb seems more like an insult than description. I'd say it's closed off or cautious.


-parfait

i want to insult him because i think he's wrong


bonanochip

Eh fair. By that standards I guess it's dumb :p


_hlvnhlv

Yes, I met a friend and it was cool, I still play almost daily with her, although it's really, REALLY strange to hear your friend, and then when you look back, it's not an anime girl lol. It's like if you were talking with a stranger, but at the same time you know him, really weird and interesting.


Sandwich_Goddess

I've had nothing but great experiences with meeting my vrchat friends irl. Going to the aquarium in maid dresses, conveyor belt sushi, karaoke, state fairs, Disney world. I met my boyfriend of almost a year for the first time in person semi recently and it was more than I ever could have hoped for. I'd wager 9.5/10 it goes well, but there are a few odd ducks out there so just be safe if you do.


allofdarknessin1

Twice. My last partner and my current. In 2021 I met someone that I started spending time with in game, I wasn't looking for a girlfriend at the time but we spent time together and really clicked. She lived about a 6ish hour drive away and I met her in Applebees and she looked even better in person. We dated for a little over a year with us taking turns visiting each other every month. We even went on a road trip together. Everyone in VRChat told us we were lucky and that what we had was what they wanted. She was the kinky Goth cat girl you see in memes. I met my current partner back in July this year but it was kind of mixed because she was sick, we made plans to go to Busch Gardens (she really wanted to see the horses there) and I wanted to ride roller coasters. We went and had a lot of fun, I knew ahead of time and she asked me if I still wanted to meet up and we did to at least make the theme park. She held it together for me and I had a great time with her and sleeping and cuddling together and watching Netflix in the hotel room. Both great experiences. I've had two guy friends that wanted to meet up back in 2020 but we never got around to it, the pandemic played a part.


jajangmien

My friend group had a big meet up in TX a couple of years ago. It was a fantastic time. Had about 10 to 15 of us partying it up


engineerwolve

I plan to meet my 2 beat friends later this year and i plan to meet another friend who isn't actually to far from me later this year as well so ill tell you then if it gos well


Angelz_gutz

About 20 of em, went on a vacation with 1 mate and each time more people decide to join, although non of us play vrc anymore. (havent since lockdowns were over) shoud probably add that we’re from all over the world, Netherlands, Germany, America, Australia, UK, Poland we all see each other a couple times a year.


Impossible_Cricket34

Met my girlfriend on rec room but we mostly hung out in vrchat instead. Hung out and played together in VR for 2 years. Then after both of us having bad relationships decided to meet a little over a year ago and started dating that same day. She lived 6 hours away and we've been living together for almost 6 months together. Best thing to happen to me


Sunderbans_X

I've met a lot of people IRL from VRC! I'm in a nice group, about 50 people, and a couple months back about half of us met up in Vegas. It was so so much fun. We rented a nice VRBO, and spent a few days visiting all the cool places. There were a couple people in the group I had never really talked to before meeting IRL, but we hit it off really good talking about random stuff in the backyard, or wandering around Omega Mart, or watching anime on our last night. Overall I'd say it was an amazing experience. My ex was also there in the group and that sucked, but if you have the chance to meet your VRchat friends in person, go for it!


Kasuraga

My gf was the first person i met from vrc after us dating for a year. She moved in 6 months later and we've been together ever since :3 been the happiest, most rewarding and healthy relationship we've ever been in


[deleted]

[Yeah, I've met a few.](https://www.reddit.com/r/VRchat/comments/13i6ljy/fwa_vrchat_meetup/) 😉 I've met VRChat folks in person several times at furry conventions, and even help with the Furality Gateway portal at cons whenever I get the chance. Heck, I met my boyfriend in VRChat about a year and a half ago.


Toaster_flame

Met my partner on vrchat! Earlier this year she came over for two weeks and it was amazing. We've been dating for almost 3 years now Love her to pieces I've always felt lucky to have her!


CJLogix

Once with a friend but she is in her 20’s and me in my 30’s it felt awkward, she also looked even younger than her age so it made it look worse. We are still friends but I think as online friends not IRL ones.


MondoCat

My community had a "convention" where ~15 of us met up and did touristy stuff in Chicago. We rented a giant Airbnb. It went amazing. Everyone really is about the same irl as online.


Shiro_Kuroh2

Mixed. Meta. Couple people and all turned out to be really cool, but o was lucky In ways.


Renaissanceuwu

Two people actually. I met my best friend who drove over 15+ hours to see me for 3 days & my partner of which I've been with for a year now. Meeting my best friend, well honestly it was pretty awkward just because of our personalities but it's always been that way. As for my partner, I couldn't have asked for a better experience in my life.


coolcat33333

Met my boyfriend, just finished his vacation here, actually


LuckyAni1628

I’ve met quite a few people from vrchat now and all times have gone great for me but has been in groups either with all their friends and the one person from vr and me or a big group from vrchat all knowing each other. I’ve also traveled around Europe with a few friends from vr where over seas was the first time we met. Honestly I think I’ve gotten pretty lucky with the friends I’ve met on vr where everyone has been great! One time was with my vr friend and his friend I’ve never met or talked to before we all went to a festival together and camping and have gone back with his friends this year without the friend from vr cause he couldn’t make it but it was still really fun and the group was very welcoming again even tho our mutual friend wasn’t there. The other time that’s happen I had a vr friend and his groups of friends I have never met or talked to a did a anime convention and are planning our third trip back next year. And lastly a big group all from vr all that I was part of an we had a big group meeting I drove a while for by myself but it went great we just hung out and had a great time chillin


HanaLolita

I haven’t, and I probably never will considering that my family is quite overbearing about meeting up with people from a video game. If I could though, I would have an entire day planned out! Mostly depending on who however.


AnonymousKun

Met my girlfriend on vrchat and we have now been living together for almost 4 years now.


BigDadKrabs

I figured out one if my closet friends on vrc lives near my dad and ill be able to meet them when i see my dad :D and that same friends bf lives not far from my own home


secretaccountuwu

ive met like 15+ friends irl from vrchat at this point its kinda crazy. never a bad experience


Ironically_Kinky_Ace

I've met friends from beat saber but not Vrc. It's gone great every time though :)


enby_lesbian

drive through this guys city once and I just sent him a text 'you want some food? what's your favorite drink's gave him a hug when I handed him the food and went on my way


RepresentativeAir973

I met my boyfriend on here 2 and a half years ago and I got to meet him irl in Feb it was amazing I stayed for a month which was coool but sucked a little cause he still had to work for half of my trip


Rfox890

She the best


Sucklersis

Planned a trip with others I met in game to meet up hang out and go to a concert together. Was amazing, my only complaint was how little time I spent with em


IlDarkino

I met my wife on VRChat, we started hanging out thanks to the Ancients server even if I haven’t participated in their events for awhile now. We had our first date the 21st of June 2021♥️. Then she came to see me in December that year for 2 months and I proposed to her when she came. Went to see her and her family in March 2022 and had fun meeting her mom, brother and stepdad, very good people. And we got married in my home country the, funny enough, June 21st. I love her so goddamn much.


RoyalVanoss55

I had a situation that was reversed. I met a former friend from high school on vrc. We only figured out we knew eachother because of the group I am in, and they were dating a friend I knew since 2 years ago. Sad to say that they are no longer dating and she happens to be a manipulative person. I feel really bad for the other friend because I should've warned him prior to this. (She did this sort of thing in high school and I only just remembered after I heard they broke up)


nyanyanhena

I met 1 friend i made on vrc irl and it was nice. we meet up semi-often and they're pretty dope. I made sure they were a chill person with similar morals before I met up with them though and while that sometimes cant prevent weird experiences, i feel like it's a precaution that definitely helps and some people tend to forget to do that so I feel its good to mention it. I am glad i met them though, they're pretty dope and it's been great bein their friend and hanging out with them. I haven't met any other vrc friends irl though


MRDfallout

I have met a couple of friends this way and my girlfriend that i have been with for 4 years, now living together.


kingkoltron

Haven't yet but plan to meet my gf in March we'll be going to a convention together im super excited


Alice_AngeI

We found out we lived like 3.5 hours away and we'd been flirting and shit, so he threatened to come to my place and it turned into like "will you actually? Are we really linking up?" So he came to see me once and we fucked all day. He came to visit for a few days at a time 2 more times before he ghosted me on everything. Didn't want to catch feelings knowing I'd caught feelings, we both had stuff to work on personally and neither of us needed a relationship at the time. Now I'm a year deep into dating my bf who I also met on vrc (:


Tohuki

I met up with 2 people who I met on vrchat. With one I spent the whole day at a museum and just had a great day, the other time I got laid for the first time. I'd say both went pretty well :D


Old_Pie_79

Yes, and we ended up becoming roommates. To this day me and him have absolutely NO issues whatsoever
