I felt the same way but then I met my current man on here and haven't looked back.He's amazing and very trustworthy.That's a judgement call only you can make.Ask lots of questions and follow your gut.I asked lots of questions that were important to me.I watched his response and that helped me make a good call.

You don't have any reason not to trust him. Just be careful when you meet him in person, though, if it ever comes to that. Meet him in a public place a few times first. Just remember, the people on each end of there e-mails are taking a chance. Neither one really knows each other. Talk on the phone a few times, too. Thee's nothing wrong with meeting someone on the internet. Just use a little common sense.

I don't think that you should be able to trust anyone on the Internet. But if you really do think that this guy seems really nice just try it. Whatever you do though do not give out any info on your address,phone number,etc... And if you guys do meet, make sure that is somewhere that is in a well populated area. I know how hard it is to find a man out there and I know that you will find just the perfect one! You seem really sweet and people like that don't deserve to be in harms way. GOOD LUCK!!!

Thats a tricky question, what kind of trust do you mean? if you mean trust with just asking advice and opinions sure, but if you mean meeting and getting personal than NO. not until you were to talk on the phone alot, visit each other several times etc. I would not show that kind of trust to someone online until you know they are excatly who they say they are. Again if you just want advice or opinions, then its ok to show that kind of trust.

It's okay to get a few friends online just not too many. Never give out any personal info (address, city, state may be okay but no fone #) and it might not even be safe to show a picture. Just be VERY careful when dealing with online friends.

It's hard to trust someone that you meet online. Alot of people lie when they're online. Some people aren't like that though.

One way to find out. Meet him in a public place, such as a food court in a mall. Have someone you know watch, and follow the two of you. WALK to a movie at the mall. Walk back to the food court, and then leave. If he follows you, your friend will know and see this, can phone you and warn you. We do this with our son who get's dates on #######. Many times the girls are actually women (he is age 15). We do not sit with him, we are sitting a bit away, watching to see who shows up. Sometimes no one shows up. They do not want to meet in a public place.

Well, ......Just last week I was listening to the news, and it seems they caught the guy they were looking for.
Apparently, a woman had met a man on line, and they had numerous conversations on line. One thing leads to another, they decide to meet out, for a drink. Unknown to this woman, the man slips something in her drink, the next thing that happens is she is taken to his apartment,where he is rapeing her. She tells the police that she knows she is being raped, but because of the drug, she could do nothing but lay there. THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
Of course the flip side is you hear of many people meeting their true love on line. Personally, I have joined two different dating services at two different times,and paid for this service, but I could not bring myself to comfortably send mail to these men. Also...I got lots and lots of mail from men, as soon as I joined, where as... I felt like new meat in town or something. I had an un- easy feeling about this, and I opted to cancel out , with out trying the dates. I think some thing was telling me it was Not right for me, so I am going with my instinct. I think to sum this all up, it depends on the person, go with your deepest instinct. I have chosen to try speed dating , at least in speed dating, you will meet several men in one night and in person, you should be able to tell about a person when you meet them in person, and you will meet in a group setting.
Try typing in speed dating in your browser, it should come up with a screen where you put your zip code in, and it will give you speed dating events in your area.
Good Luck!

You should use your instincts and common sense. I've known people who have met and two different people who have gotten married to someone they met online.
