I wouldn't mind if I've seen their pictures and visited their websites, at least I know what they do for living especially if they live in Canada too that will be good for business networking. If you don't like to meet them I think it's not a bad idea too, I heard horrible stories about strangers stalking people because they see the pictures online.

Yes. I actually met my husband online. You have to be very careful though. Make sure, if you are considering meeting an online friend in person that you are in a public place, in broad daylight and there are plenty of other people around in case of trouble. My husband and I im'ed and spoke to each other on the phone daily for almost six months before we ever met in person. We have been happily married for 4 1/2 years. :)

hi there, it would all depend really, if id spoke to some online for example on MSN or yahoo messenger, seen who they are a few times on web camera and we exchanged numbers for a long few months and spoke on the phone then i wouldn't be afraid of meeting them as probably would know who they were, but if it was just someone emailing me with no picture never told me anything about them or we never swapped numbers and i didn't know how old they was then NO way would i because they could be anyone and they could say they are someone who they aren't! :O)

If your talking about for a relationship? If so I personally wouldn't. I would be a fraid of meeting a serial killer or someone really crazy. Online you can be anyone you want to be. Their is always a good chance that the person you have come to know online is not the person they portray to be. I worked with a women who meet someone online. One weekend she dicided to go meet this other person. It turned out that was not who she came to know online. She had a very uneasy feeling about him. She didn't go into detail, she just said she regretted going.
