I met my boyfriend off Myspace and he's the best guy I've ever dated.
I've met a lot of people off Myspace actually...nothing bad came out of it except for a few bad dates :P

A move to finding happiness does not need to be debated. Mode of meeting a person, whether internet, media, at the store, at the swimming pool, at a bar, stranded on an island....everything got one factor in common. Do you appeal and are willing to put yourselves out for each other. If you are both moving in the same direction, see where it takes you. Sure, be safe, take a detective with trenchcoat and cos along, but chances are the "thunderbolt" of possible love could make the detective change professions.
Respect yourself and your internet friend, just as you would a friend met anywhere else.
Salute.

Nope. The internet is just a world wide way for meeting new people in the comfort of your home, its as good as meeting someone from a party or a club or even a bus stop. You dont know there intentions are good, but you want to get to know them.
If you are meeting up with someone make sure you at least tell someone, who you are meeting with and where. Make sure you meet them at a public place that you are familiar with and if they dont seem like the person you thought you were, make sure there is a friend or family ready to pick you up so you can go home together.
HOWEVER if you dont feel 100% confident and sure that you want to meet them then DONT. Nothing is worst is than being unsure if you want to meet that person or not.

Not at all...it's good to make new acquaintances even in the internet. And sometimes, it may evolve in a very strong friendship..you can never tell. Of course,this doesn't mean you must keep meeting people like this. If you do that,you'll lose other, more important things in life. Personal contact is the best way to meet people, but but internet is also good.

Not at all. Plan a day, time and place. Meet somwhere where their are people about, but you can sit and chat. (We used McDonalds, lol) Let someone know where your going and what time you expect to be back. Give them the name of ther person and a pic if you have one. Ask them to call you at a certain time and deffinatley pick up the phone when they ring you. It just needs to quick, something like, 'Hey how are you?' Have a code word, so that if you need help to get away they will meet you somewhere.
Its just a case of careful, thoughtful planning and timing. You can never be too careful, but don't be scared to try new things either.

I suppose there is a right and wrong answer to this, firstly you have to be careful and get to know the person proplerly online and pehaps in telephone conversations. If you really feel you want to meet then follow the correct protocall like telling a friend where you are going and who with, meet in a crowded place and for me the most important thing would be NEVER get in a car with them until you felt comfortable.
I have met a friend from the internet, we chatted online for months and she was coming to my town for a day and we met up and had a right old laugh so I suppose it can work out.
Just be careful

Not if you are careful and do your research properly? It will never replace meeting someone for the first time in the flesh, as in a chance meeting, but you need to take good care and be very vigilant asking loads of questions. Get a phone number before you actually meet (and an address) and make sure they belong to the person. If they aren't prepared to let you have them, assume they're dodgy!

I met my fiance that way. We were friends first and it developed into a relationship. I didn't set out thinking I would meet my future husband, and I think that is a good way to approach it. Look for new friends. Keep your expectations at that level first. As long as you go into it with your head on straight, I think it can work out well. The main thing is to not rush into anything, and also to realize at some point you need to meet to see if the person is who they say they are. Also if you do meet...meet in a public place. I have heard horror stories and great stories.

depends on how you think the person is worth meeting. i mean, if you've already got bonded or you got some sort of connection with the person, why not? you gotta be careful though. you choose the place where you're going to meet. have someone with you too ,maybe a friend or someone who can protect you just in case. some precautions, you know. i want to meet someone online too so i guess that's the steps im goin to make.

Its not a bad move because my friend met her husband over the net, and I knows lots of people that now have good friends because of the net. However I would be very careful because you never know. Always make sure that you meet in public places until you really know them well and just use your judgement and don't put yourself in a dangerous situation

Do you mean 'meeting in person' or having an internet relationship?
I think internet relationships can go either way, i know of one that ended in utter devastation for my family, so its not something i would advise.
If you are very vunerable, then they are certainly not good, but if you are strong minded then you can hopefully see if someone is genuine.
