would you fly to another state? would you require a criminal background check? would you just rather chat/flirt etc. online and never meet them?

i've talked to several men whom i really relate to but probably would not ever meet them as i don't know who they are in reality. too many ppl online lie about themselves, i don't lie about myself but i don't reveal everything either as i know how easy it is to track ppl online.

I'd have to consider it, but would need proof that this person was who they were saying they were...cam to cam or something like that!
Chatting and flirting is fun!

I met my boy friend on line a year ago. It was basically love at first site. We are still crazy about each other even though we have our issues. I love him with all my heart and have no regrets. He is a good hearted person.
I would not go as far to fly to another state. I did meet several people in person that I met on line, and they were not what I had expected, even after talking to them through email quite a bit. Flying to another state is a really daring and maybe even stupid thing to do. Meet the men/women you want to date somewhere not to far from your home and let someone know what you are up to, just in case something bad were to happen. Take precautions.

I have met probably 6 or 7 women online that I met in person.
All of them were married women wanting sex when I was in my 20s. I guess I was in my prime and they weren't getting it at home.
I had emailed and chatted with all of them for weeks before meeting.
The most I traveled was about an hour by car. Mostly I started chatting with people in chat rooms and then after talking a while took it to the phone and then met.
Most were not 1 time things they were pretty regular meetings

I'm paranoid so I would do the back round check. Also I weren't fly to another state just to meet someone. Last watch out for scamers. There were some foolish woman on a talk show who gave con artist from Nigria money. Later the talk show host showed them why the men are complete con artists. So don't give anyone money online ether.

I have met several people in person that I have met on-line. MOST of which were just fine, and we're still good friends. I will say however, I drove to another state to pick up someone I met online, and he came to stay with me for a week. While I was lucky that it didnt turn dangerous or anything, I will say that after I took him back, I found out that he was not who he said he was. From his WIFE. Who I didnt know about. So all I can say is find out as much as possible about who you are talking to before you do something as drastic as I did. Its not always a bad thing, but if it seems too good to be true, most likely, it is. Good Luck

Yes, I'd be willing to meet someone I met online; no I would NOT fly to another state (even if they bought me the ticket); no I would not require a criminal background check just to meet them (maybe before we got more serious); and no, I would not rather chat/flirt online and never meet them. If they seem nice, it would be great to meet. But, before I started dating my BF, I did meet people on-line and never let it get "serious" because I knew they were too far away to meet and that I'd never get to know them. A couple of guys came through here and we met for dinner or coffee... and some I kept in touch with... but I knew it wasn't "real"

I did meet people I met online a few times before. To tell you the truth, I never had to travel to do that. I always met them in public, at least for the first time, so I didn't need a criminal record or anything. My current boyfriend I met online about 8 months ago. We are getting engaged soon.

I actually met my current girlfriend online, we've been going out for 3 years now. However, the situation was slightly different. When we met online, we found that we knew some of the same people, so it wasn't like we didn't know if the other was really someone else.
However, I think if your very careful and don't rush into anything it can be okay. Possibly start with a double date, or meeting with friends.

I would never date anyone from out of state because I could never move from where I live. I am actually kinda seeing someone I met online and everything seems to be going well. Didnt do a criminal background check but if you think about it, any guy you meet outside the internet could have a crimial record.

I met my husband online. Our marriage is great and we're expecting our first baby in November 2006. It seems much safer to meet someone from online back in the days, but now, it's scary. If you do want to meet them, bring a friend along and meet in a public area. Do not travel in the same car as them. I don't think I would allow my kids to meet anyone from online. It's very dangerous.

The answer is it depends on what you are looking for. If ground rules are laid out from the get go about what both parties want maybe in the future when the both of you are comfortable then I don't see why not. I met my fiance' on-line and we lived 5 minutes from each other. But we were both looking for a relationship and spoke on the phone for quite some time. I would not fly to another state to see someone as that sounds a bit extreme, but again depends on what you are looking for. Different stroke for different folks.
