I live in Ohio...he lives in Cali...we've talked on the phone for almost 2 weeks with deep conversations. He's sent me pic mail and he's real cool. We haven't talked about hooking up but I think it will come up soon.

I did something like that while I was in the military. We did hook up after several months of talking, but after that it just couldn't work. It was nice for a while, but I wouldn't recommend it. Long distance relationships are really difficult, and not usually worth the hassle. It's one of those things that's more exciting on the phone and in expectation than when you really get together. Just keep him as a friend and whenever you go to Cali for a trip sometime you can hang out.

Sure it is...But be extra careful ask lots of questions. And be sure that the other party that wants you has a honest Profile.
Have the person send you a letter in the mail and get on who is who and be sure they are real people. Like search for people. And if all is indeed in phone books, etc. Then you more than likely have who you are really talking to.
Just don't get in a hurry...You have lots of time. And the first time you meet this person, bring a friend with you and a cell phone in case there are any problems. And meet them for Coffee or a Coke. If they are for real then questions won't be a problem....for you to ask and for them to answer. Keep a book or keep all your letter in a folder and go back and forth and check your question and their answers...
DON'T get in a hurry!!! Their are a lot of good folks out there. And quite of few that are NOT for you...but they will tell you what you want to hear. All I can say is be very careful. Don't be afraid to ask questions and I mean the deep ones too...
Keep a log of your favorites and see if they are telling you the same answers each time. If they are NOT...then move on!!!
*** JUST do NOT be in a hurry!!! ***

It has been my experience that meeting people off the internet can be disastrous. People can seem cool, confident and charming on-line and on the phone, but can be totally different when you meet them. In my experience, I talked to this guy from Northern Cali and I'm from Southern (which is still pretty far). I went to meet him and he was so.. happy? to see me that he started crying that I as the only person that cared about him and his mom was mean to him.. and I was like "whoa.. where did all this come from" He isn't the only one either. That sort of thing happend to a friend of mine where the guy went all emo on her. I say talk for a really long time and get web cams so you can better read his body language. Be safe. :)

I wouldn't get my hopes up to high and I would remain cautious if I were you. There are a lot of unscrupulous people that make their way in life playing off the gullibility of others, especially on the Internet. He can tell you anything and you don't know but what it is the truth.

You're head over heals with a stranger who sent you only a pic which might not even be him. Slow down and take your time, cause if you don't and he's not the guy who you think he is or even the guy in the picture he sent you, you'll be extremely hurt so slow down.

You should arrange to chat cam to cam online to make sure that he is indeed a real person and not just some weirdo using other peoples pics to lure you. Online dating is really great and when you meet the person face to face its like you already know them. Just be careful.

well it is ad visible to meet this guy in person and sending photos and talking over the phone can be dangerous if he is a true guy he will come forward and face you and Internet dating is only to pick up young girls for their fun .don't believe all such people if he is a true person he will attempt to meet you in person and don't give your details to an anonymous person whom you have not seen in person as by sending photos one cannot show his identity keep safe distance

Whatever for? Take a good look around you for first hand scrutiny. Its a safer, take your time bet than meeting an unknown over the net.

It's pretty harmless as long as you're having fun. However, without seeing each other in person, there's only so far a relationship can go.

No way !! I just met a woman by Internet and then found out she has a ten year old kid. She didn't tell me at first, but it came out when her son answered the phone.
Good luck and G-d bless !!
