It's really not a very good idea. But I've heard that it has worked out pretty well for some people. BOTH men and women need to be careful here, because somebody could be pretending to be totally something they are not, including the gender.
There are some very reputable online matchmaking services which seem like a pretty good idea for somebody who is having trouble finding the right person.
When couples meet physically, they may tend to get physical before they have gotten to know one another very well. At least with internet conversations, they find out that they are mentally compatible first. That's a pretty neat thing.

I have a friend who met someone online and it worked out perfectly. However, you must be careful, get to know them as much as possible before you agree to meet them. The problem is, most people are impatient and jump into something too quickly. This is when it can be bad. Truth is, you really don't know who is on the other end of the computer. You don't know if that person is who they say they are. If you are careful, and take your time, and don't meet them alone, it is ok, but I think that is the exception rather than the rule.

I met my husband that way
You have to be SAFE about it. If you choose to meet someone, NEVER give them personal information. Never give them your home phone, address, last name, work email address. etc.
Always meet them in a neutral place where there are other people - restaurant, bar, etc.
Always tell friends where you are, and if you have to, yse the ladies room and call a friend on the cell to come and get you
Always meet the man there, NEVER let him pick you up, never get in a car with a stranger
Follow some common sense rules like that, and always scrutinze their profiles. If it is too good to be true, then they are usually lying!!
I used internet dating for several years very safely, never getting my expectations too high, and eventually met my husband that way. I also made several very good friends along the way!

If you use online dating sites where you can meet local singles, always meet in a public place the first few dates and don't share too much personal information up-front - it can be as safe as meeting people in any other way.
Just be careful and use common sense.
I've met and gone on dates with many guys I met through online personal sites (match.com and yahoo personals mostly). I've never felt threatened or was ever in any danger. I even had a few boyfriends come out of meeting through online personals. They didn't work out in the end, but not because we met online - if we'd met in a bar or a coffee shop we'd still not have worked out in the end.

Here is my problem with the concept of online dating. Everyone seems so appealing in their profiles. All the men are caring and will treat the women with dignity and respect and all the women are fun loving and have a silly cute side. Well, if all these perfect people are out there, why are they having so much of a problem finding a date? If you believe everything in these profiles you must ask yourself why is it that this perfect person is looking online.
There is a reason that one seeks the annonymity of online dating. May it be that they are married, involved, gay and exploring or just plain psycho they are never what they appear to be.
Proceed with caution. I can tell you about the aftermath of a few horror stories that I have seen that would make you think twice.

It's more and more common that people are meeting on the Internet. I think its safe as long as you don't meet the person one on one. You try to meet the person after talking on line till your comfortable with them. Even then you only want to meet the person in a public place preferably with your friends there.

It's no safer or more risky than meeting some guy she met at a bar, at a night club, in a shop etc, as the only difference would be that she could see him in those other places, and looks can be deceiving anyway.
I don't think that she should refuse to meet him just because they met on the Internet.

I am a widower (about two years ago after thirty three years of a perfect marriage.)
I have started dating, I have met several fine ( not just looks)ladies on line. A woman or man can be very careful about when and where you meet if you choose to, just use common sense.
And good luck

I'm happily married to an online date. I was tired of the bar scene. There are guidelines, mainly listen to your insticts. Be cautious about giving out personal info. Meet in a public place. Don't meet someone who won't wait a few weeks to get to know you thru email or phone first.
