Lemme see. Would I send my pic to someone? Hmmm, I think I'll send a pic of my friend. He's younger and better looking. DUHH!
Two factual experiences on the Internet.
A female college student had an on line "affair" with a man for several months. They finally agreed to meet at a motel. The man registered and advised the girl of his room, and that the door would be open.
She walked in, went to the bedroom. The man was sprawled on the bed, Nude.
"DADDY"!
A detective had chat with a 13 year old girl.
She never gave her name, no address or city, or state.
She did give him her height, hair color, the school colors, the school mascot, her participation in track, the beaches in her area. Not the name of the school.
One day, a strange man approached her after her track practice, in GA.
It was the detective. He identified himself.
A long talk with her and her parents.
I had a teen contact me from here. I was honest with her. I'm 78.
I'm not sure about Q & A. I already knew she was from NY. That's all. How much could I have learned?
Geeez. Internet!!!!!!!!!!

I think your friend will do what she thinks is best for her.
My dad met someone online two years ago...went to China last year for two weeks and after seeing her in person for the first time...they married...and still waiting on the visa papers and all that ... she will finally be moving here with her son sometime this year. So you never know I guess. I think the internet is a new way to meet people. And you have more opportunities to meet that certain someone...it isn't neccessarily a bad thing. But like anybody else she would date...she should not be naive and vulnerable to users or abusers...I don't think anybody really knows anybody until they take that leap of faith.
So tell her good luck and just stand by her if she needs you.

There are some really open, honest, and nice people on the Internet. There are also the freaks! Tell your friend to be cautious - I am sure she already understands that the Internet does not always show a person's true colors. If she wants to take the relationship to the next level, then she needs to meet this person so they can really begin to get to know each other. Tell her to make arrangements to meet in a public place and as someone already pointed out - avoid giving too much personal information until she rally gets to know them. Hope it all works out for her - the fact that she has kids should not make a difference.

Before the Internet, how did people knew each other? Back then, how did you trust a stranger you met over the phone, in a bar, at work, school, college, the dentist office?
Each human being has his own story, some sad, some not so sad, some tragic, and some as dull as ever. Talk to your friend about your concerns, warn her to be careful, she would probably wont like it nor listen if she is so much into him as it seems. At least you would have acted as friend and speak. Be there for her and hope for the best.
You haven't ever met me, and I am a good guy, maybe he is also.

Always remember online friends are only avaliable online....they dont have to chat when in a bad mood, they can censor there thoughts and type or say what they think u wanna hear. Always be wary.........if you do meet them then do it with someone u trust...there are some real fruit cakes out there. Of all the internet romances i have known (friends not me) only one developed into something that seemed real...the others have been unmitigated diasters

I met my husband online--on Yahoo Personals actually! Anyways, you can meet nice people online but there are alot of crazy bad people out there too... Be very careful, bring a friend along with you and make it a meeting in a public place.

Some people can be trusted, some can't. If she wishes to meet him, make sure the first meeting is in a very public place and she should not give out too much personal info until she knows if he can be trusted or not.

i think that as a rule a person should always be careful over internet relationships and stuff cos there are a lot of people out there who are bad but i also say that there are some people out there who are genuine. have they already met in person? i think it would be a good thing to see this guy in person first and then get to know him more from there. some people find their lifetime partners over the net too you know. she just have to be very discerning first. :)

She has to adopt policy of cautious optimism. She needs a man being a divorcee, but her passion for a man must not land her in trouble. I fully understand your anxiety for her. She should carefully try to obtain more details about him before finally settling down with him.
