If they have never sent you any fotos of themselves I would say never meet them. If they have sent a foto and you like the way they look and what they have been saying online I say meet them as soon as possible, if this is the only way that you are meeting people. It's best to know right away if you are compatible or not and the only way you will know this is when you meet face to face. If you are not just strictly meeting people online then I say put your money on a real live face to face guy then you know what you see is what you get. But meet as soon as possible so as to not create an illusion of a relationship and get into that comfort zone of only having a relationship on line because you feel safer, it's not a real relationship and is not healthy for either one of you.
As for going to thier place? If your female I would say not for a long time. Not untill you know where he works, his first and last name, some of his friends and if you know and have met his family. I believe if your gut is telling you something, go with your gut, always trust your insticts. If your male, never impose yourself on a lady and always go her way..If she invites you to her place don't think you're in like flint and think that she's gonna give you some, it just means she likes you and wants you to know that she trust you and if she cooks for you, dude she really likes you. It's not an invitation to force yourself on her and for you to think she does this all the time with strange men. Just be gentlepersons and everything will work out okay.

A good time to do so is when you feel that the online relationship has worked well, and you are certain enough that this is a real person and a person worth knowing - not some cyber sociopath or obsessive. But it is important that you meet in a neutral place, perhaps public. Invite a group of friends who know you have been online with this person. That person shouldn't be uncomfortable with the crowd of people that you hang with. After that, sorry...you are on your own. You have to trust your own instinct.

Online "etiquette": respond to emails within 2-days. First phone call is to set up a meeting at a public place (someplace cheap: meet for coffee, ice cream, etc) within 5-9 days from the phone call.
The reason for meeting as soon as possible is because 90% of all communication is non-verbal, and somebody you like on the phone or via email could be colored by your own imagination. It's about keeping it real and not wasting a lot of your time (and money for the men since they usually have to pay for these things).
Those are good general guidelines.

Well, I have meet people online before and have had pleasant experiences, thank god. But I would, of course, meet them in the public place and then go out in public a few more times, just until you are TRUELY comfortable around them enough to be able to relax if you go to their home. There is no set time, only when you are ready.
Good Luck.....

1. Get to know them for at least a few months.
2. If you want to, meet them in public (the more people, the better).
3. Continue to meet them in public for a while.
4. Introduce this person to your family and friends (that way, everyone knows who he is).
5. Exchange phone numbers if 1-4 go well.

I would definitely allow enough time to get to know the guy. My friend met this guy online after talking to him for 4 months or so, and come to find out, he had been dating this other girl online since probably mid-December. So I think her meeting and dating him that soon was a mistake, because you can't fully get to know someone in that short time.
I've been talking to this guy online for almost a year, and I still don't even feel like I've know everything about him. But I do plan on meeting him sometime this year. So I guess use your discretion and be wise about it.

WARNING WILL ROBINSON, WARNING...........
First off, you never know WHAT you're going to meet from the internet.
Secondly, meet him in a very public place, like at the mall.
Third, if the person is giving you strange signals then don't waste your time on them. Always follow your gut instinct.
Don't go to his place or let him come to yours until you know the guy way better than you do from conversations over the net.

I wouldn't meet people I met online in real life if I were you, but if you must, make sure you have people with you and it's in a public place...
Don't get involved with people online, start meeting people in real life and stuff. It's more safe, if anything...

when you feel comfortable --- like all dating there are no "rules" --- you do what you feel comfortable with ---- you may go to each other's place later on the first meeting or it could be months ---- enjoy and best wishes
