I met my fiancee online. I had met a few others before him. I have always considered myself to be a good judge of character. Thankfully nothing ever happened to me. It is very risky and I don't know what tips I can give. It never hurts to be too careful.

keriwebb,
That's great!
I also met my fiancee online. I had chatted online with several others before her, and met some of them in real life. I met some decent people, but also me some weirdos, so when I met my fiancee, I was pretty good at judging people.
I agree that it is very risky, but I didn't take any precautions meeting her, because with her it was sooo different that I knew everything was going to work out fine. It worked out great!

Yeah, I'm too generous in giving people the benefit of the doubt so I get abused alot. Not physically, just mentally & being asked for favors & such. I should probably stick to internet FRIENDING. HaHa! Best wishes for a happy life together! Thanks! Aloha!

Actually it is a fact that more and more couples are now meeting online. And its not so weird ne more.. because the internet gives you more of a variety of girls and it helps find the right girl for you. Sure from time to time you will come along a bad meet up or what not but i actually found the girl i am gonna marry online so i cant say anything bad about it. So i recommend it .

This is true, too. The biggest problem is that it's easier for alot of people to lie when they're anonymous (or relatively) and not face-to-face. So one good thing is to try to ask the right questions BEFORE you even meet them. Congratulations on your success, and I wish for you that it continues! Aloha!

yes when i was 16 or 17. and it was the BIGGEST mistake i ever made. he could have kidnapped me or raped me. he was the biggest jerk i ever met too. he was cool over the phone but once we met he turned into an a**hole. i vowed never to do that ever again.

I have met someone I chatted with for a couple months or so. I met him in a restaurant where I knew the staff, for lunch, in the middle of the day. I was glad I had made the arrangements I did, because he turned out to be nothing like the person on the computer and creeped me out! I wouldn't recommend meeting a chat room 'friend' until and unless you have checked them out thoroughly.

B-I-N-G-O!!! EXACTLY what I'm talking about how people fabricate a great person to assume. Oh, their intention is not always to do evil things to you, but nonetheless, even if it's not dangerous, it can be quite stressful and just a B-A-A-A-A-D experience that you could've done without! Thanks so much for sharing! Aloha!

I met a lot of people from the internet. Since, I am a married woman, I did not "Date" any of them. But, I met a few of my online friends for dinner in another state. I have met some of the nicest people online.

I have not dated with my chatmate. I believe it is not safe to meet someone who you only knew thru internet. Most likely, the projected image via internet is not the true person, in case you are really excited to meet your chatmate, you should be with chaperone and be sure you only go to safe places.

I disagree... it's safe if you get to know the person enough in advance. I talked to my husband (who i met online) for about a year before we actually met in person. WE talked on the phone and online so I got to know him pretty well before we met in person. I also took my dad with me when I met him just as a precaution. You just have to be careful.

i totaly disagree too
I met my currant b/f and also my last one.
I am a single mum of 2 and the internet is just the same as meeting in a club or a bar or even a supermarket.
You do not know them until you talk to them the same as not knowing meeting someone from the internet and talking to them.
The internet is just a introduction tool, it helps you to meet people but it is really upto you on what happens once you have made the introduction in what the internet helps with.

I tried it and met about 3 or 4 women locally and ended up having dates with two of them.
Then I met a woman in Russia and we hit it off right away. After about 5 months of emails, phone calls and a few packages and cards, I flew to Russia and spent two wonderful weeks with her.
It took about a year for the bureaucrats to process her visa but she moved here and we got married. We have been married for three years and they have been some of the happiest times in my life. I found the perfect woman and got two more wonderful children as well.
I would definately recommend it - it worked for me.

I met my current girlfriend on myspace. she went to my college, so I just found her there one day after we had been chatting online for a while. We've been together for eight months now.

Yes I met someone on the internet (Match.com) about 3 years ago and we are still dating soon to be engaged. We talked online for about a month before we met. We met in a public place. I would recommend it to others.
