Anything can be dangerous if you aren't using precaution and Yes, the internet definately is a dangerous place to find a boyfriend. You don't say how old you are either. There are weirdos on the net just ready to prey on the young and foolish. Do you honestly want to put yourself in an unsafe situation? There are better ways to find a boyfriend - talk to your friends - ask your brother, your cousin to introduce you to their friends. Join some fun groups that interest you.to meet others.
If you are not as smart as I believe you could be and decide to meet someone from the net - tell your parents ( hopefully they can stop you), friends and never, never meet them alone - take a couple of friends and be sure to stay in a very public place. Do not ever, and I mean ever give out personal information on the web that could lead someone to you that means you harm. Please reconsider this option in favour of your friends getting you an introduction. Terrible things have happened to the unsupecting so please reconsider.

Yes, it can be.
It's a good way to know someone before you meet them, but at the same time, some people do lie about themselves (appearance-wise, personality-wise, etc). Your best bet is getting to know the person for quite a while before you meet (talk for some months before even trying to meet), meet in a public place, and when chatting to the person online.. pay attention to what is being said and if he is consistent about himself/his statements (i.e. if he tells you something and you guys talk about the topic another time.. and then, he tells you something totally different than what he said before).
But, it's also important to keep in mind that you can meet dangerous men on the streets, in a club, etc, and you wouldn't know he's dangerous until you've spent enough time with him and he starts to show his true side. There are benefits and dangers to both.

i've had two relationships with women that first met me on a chatline.. both of them would probably say that meeting me and dating me was not dangerous..
here are my thoughts on how to safely meet someone thru the internet:
take your time to really get to know the person. e-mail them back and forth and ask them questions about who they are, what their attitudes are like etc.. develop a mental profile of this person and watch for discrepancies..
people who lie on the net are easily caught. they will eventually start contracditing themselves.
if the person seems legit after 3 months, then arrange a phone call and build from there.. if all goes well another month or two, then arrange a meeting in person at a public place, and see how it goes..

the answer is definetly YES! With all the online predators and molestation cases I have heard of that would be totally unsafe. Try meeting guys in your own city, but never through internet. It's dangerous, girl!

It is best to be prudent and arm your self with information, before doing some thing that be can a disaster. There are websites and chat rooms were people share stories of their horror stories of meeting some one on line.
Like any thing in life were relationships are concern, there is good and bad. I don't know your particular situation with this person and it is best to play it safe.
Listen to your gut feelings and take decisions with your head and not your feelings !

It can be. But it can also be a great way to meet people that you wouldn't usually run into in person. You just have to be responsible and cautious about it and only if you are over 18. It all depends on your instincts.
