Have you met 'proper' friends on hitched?

Friends you call on in a crisis, who you would do anything for and will be in your life for a long time sort of friends

I have and I really count myself lucky. While I was slicing potatoes before (?) I was trying to think how many hitchers I have met, I lost count but I'm guessing around 30-40 and more to add on a few weeks! Quite of these folks have really become close friends and a small group who I would count as my best friends (well one of them brought me to hitched and the others I met here.) Because of my health and the fact I've never worked, not really able for night school etc, I've not met many friends 'in real life' so I'm very thankful for my weirdie friends!

I have little groups of friends in my head; My really close friends, Edinburgh, North West, London, Flickr, good old 'direct from hitched' friends and people I really want to meet. There is some crossing over, obviously. ? I really dread to think what my life would be like without this place.

So, what about you?

I haven't met anyone IRL from here but then I don't post nearly enough plus I think I hold back abit on here...

Would love to meet some hitchers though, most people on here bar the trolls (maybe even some of them) are so diverse that it would make for an interesting mix....

My crisis friends are people I have known since I was 10, and I can always count on them.

Well I talk about you lot to Mr Toosh enough, to call you all friends, but infact I have only ever met one hitcher, who was the sweetest, (non norfolk )person I have ever met, the fact she let me loose on her beautiful hair was amazing.?

I doubt I will ever meet anymore hitchers as I am the only one in this lonely part of the world.☹️

I met my best friend via hitched and she's not even on here anymore. She was Matron of Honour at my wedding.

Another very close friend is through hitched, who I met on bt and we speak pretty much every day as well.

I have made quite a few friends, which I'm pleased about. Shame most of them live nowhere near me.

Yup,

I've met quite a few hitchers over the years and got on very well with 2 of them who i've stayed in touch with,
One in particular is now a really good friend of mine, we often socialise and are planning to go on holiday together in December

Yes, but then we wouldn't be able to buy sauce in jars without a hitcher seeing us. ?

I'm up in Aberdeen, so seems to be few hitchers up here, mostly in Edinburgh or Glasgow.

I would love to have met people from here and made some new friends but live far too far away - Highlands in Scotland.

When I lived in Edinburgh I came along to a meet at Bar 38 on George street but chickened out and went home. How sad is that. xx

I have two friends on hitched which I've met irl and count as my closest friends, unfortunately I don't get to see them that much but speak to them most days. I love them to pieces and I wouldn't have got through the last few months without them. I also have some really close friends but I haven't met them yet and again I talk to them near enough daily on msn, they've proved great support to me.

I'm going to take this opportunity to thank my lovely lovely friends for being there for me and being the best friends a girl could wish for, much love ?

Well, you may regret saying that now (?), but me and H am down on the 3rd and 4th of August if you are around and fancy a drink/lunch or something? I was thinking of a wee trip to Jo Malone at some point too.

Yep. There's one hitcher who I meet up with on a regular basis, but they live about an hour away. I'd defintitely class them as a good friend i.e. H and I go to their family parties, and vice versa.

Not sure I'd call on them in a crisis though. I usually save crisis' for my sister (my best best friend) to deal with ?

id="quote">Oh no, really?! That was the first meet I ever organised, I'm really sad that you felt you couldn't come. ☹️ It was back in 2004, wasn't it? I think there were just four of us in the end. ?

I'll let you know when I'll be around in August Oriana!

I almost met one once but was late [:I]

I've often thought about going along when the Bristol hitchers meet but i'm frightened they'd think I was a dullard [:I]
