Just to play Devil's Advocate here.
'Meeting' at first through email, then IM, and moving on to telephone conversations, at what point, if any, would you rely on your instincts about a someone you meet online?
Do you think older people tend to do less 'game playing' than younger people?
While bearing in mind that anyone can hide behind a computer, meeting someone in a pub or other public place for the first time is not much different, is it?
You still have to rely on what they tell you about themselves as being the truth, even with the benefit of 'reading' facial expression and body language.
If you did follow your instincts, did you find you were way off the mark when you actually met?
Or was there a point where your instincts told you something was wrong, and you later found out you were right?
And, finally, did you trust your instincts and find you were right to do so?
