Answer 1

Sad but true... things is you can meet a person at a bar and they can do the same thing. People can pretend to be someone else for a little while but eventually the truth comes out. That's why I think it doesn't matter where you met her- the bar, the mall or on the Internet- as long as you take the time to really get to know her. Just don't jump into anything! Which is normally the biggest mistake people make. My best friend met her husband on the Internet and they dated for 2 years and are happily married now. My use to be good friend- met a guy and moved into him within two weeks of meeting him on the Internet and then married him right away- they are both bankrupt and miserable. The Internet is just another tool to meet people. You might have to filter out more weirdos but it's still just a tool.

Answer 2

I met my wife on the Internet. We've been together for 7 years and married for 2 years. The use of the Internet for dating is merely another means to meet people. Once you transition into the world of actual dating, then the mechanism you have for creating and maintaining relationships is the same as with someone you met in a more traditional setting. If your dating mechanism is sound, then you stand as good a chance of having a successful relationship that started on line as offline.

Answer 3

Relationships where people meet over the internet are more and more common these days. I suggest you exchange pictures and move up to a phone conversation, and from there if things continue to go well, meet somewhere neutral for a date.

From that point, things can move just like a normal relationship which you should have experience with. Many of these relationships work out. In a way, it's a throwback to the ritual of courting because you are getting to know someone before becoming intimate with them.

Answer 4

Well, yout take chances in any relationship that you get in; meeting someone in person or on-line. Anyone that you meet could be a fraud and you could be with them for a long time, and when it is too late, things are jacked up. However, on-line dating could be good. I met my bf 6 months ago on line. I ran a "50" on him to see if he had committed any violent crimes. I found out that he had one speeding ticket that he told me about. I told him I was having this done. He was not offended. I was in a relationship with a man before for 3 years that I met on a phone dating service, so things can work out. Happy hunting. Best of Luck.

Answer 5

to be honest with you it really depends on the persons involved in the relationship. each experience is unique from the others. it can result into a wonderful relationship if you both work it out. however, there is also the posibility that it won't work out especially if you do not meet in person.

i've been there and done that but sad to say it didn't work out because my "supposed online boyfriend" lied to me eventhough we had an agreement to be honest with each other. so when i found out about the lie he told me i let go of him. he doesn't deserve me.

i'm driving the point that in any relationship (be it through the net), trust, respect and honesty are very important. when you have these, more likely your relationship will work out.

just a word of caution, get to know the person better and don't be persuaded by sweet but empty words. it is also important that you meet in person for you to know if you are compatible with each other. don't be too gullible.

good luck and god speed!

Answer 6

i think internet dating is just as normal as meeting someone in a club etc nowadays. Just be careful and cautious and think with your mind - not your heart and certainly not another piece ofyour anotomy!! Often you get to know a person far more intimately online than you would normally - so thats kinda beneficial. I think the only way of finding out is if you arrange to meet this woman - obviously if shes a fraud chances are she wont show, if she genuinely is interest - she will! I wish you luck - but remember, be careful and most of all enjoy yourself!

Answer 7

Well, you have to meet the girl first to know further more, of course.
I'm now with a boyfriend who we met online. He's gorgeous, and I know I'm too. But I did found some problems we have never talked before...and that will never come up until you really meet and know the person more.
Your first "date" will be the day you actually met the person. Go and set a date!

Answer 8

To be honest, it is your call but be very very careful with these things. People sometimes are not what they appear to be. I know coz I have been in the situation where someone lied about their age only to find out after meeting. It was definately embarassing for the both of us because he must have been older than my dad. Maybe that is not something you care about though but if you do meet up for the first couple of times, be very cautious, dont let her know where you live and and most importantly, meet in a public place. Good luck with that!!

Answer 9

I met my fiance on Yahoo! personals. I always had a rule that webcam and lots of photos (especially with their family) were NECESSARY. It shows they are legitimate. But if you do meet, always meet in a very public place. There are some weirdos out there (I've met a few of them), but if you are careful, and make sure that you know what she looks like before trying to meet her it should be ok. So to answer your question...yes, it can work out...it can work out VERY well. (and by going online you can look for EXACTLY what you want instead of sitting through awkward moments at a bar when neither of you have anything to say and you realize you want to leave....online, you can just sign off...)

Answer 10

Well, let's see.. I met my ex online. We ended up moving in together. It lasted for 2 years. Then we broke up. I met my current fiance online as well. He and I were friends for about a year before we started dating this year. Now we are engaged. So I guess it depends on who you meet and what type of people they really are in person. Good luck!
