Only me..ha ha! Honestly though, be very, very careful... There are a lot of predators on the net just waiting to take advantage of other people. Beware of someone who insists on meeting you...especially after just one or two communications. If you are going to meet someone in person, never arrange to meet them alone. Bring along a friend, preferably one who can handle him or herself. And meet in a public place. Always consult your parents, spouse, or someone you trust about this person you are supposed to meet. If the other person is legit, they will understand your caution.

I am marrying a man I met online, and he's wonderful. However, you need to really get to know the person IN PERSON after you meet them online. You never know anything about a person online except what they tell you. They could say they're 35, good looking, graduated from an ivy league college, etc. and really be a 45 year old bum living with his mom and looking at child pornography. You really never know. Be smart about it. If you want to meet this person, meet them in a VERY public place and hopefully with a friend or two. Don't share any personal info. too soon (where you live, etc.) You can usually tell a lot about a person once you meet them and spend time together in person.

Yes, but not right away. I don't trust anybody i meet right off the bat, weither its online or in person . It takes time to gain trust, so be careful and use common sense and you should be alright.

why not ?
do you trust someone you meet anywhere?
"Online people" get a bad reputation from Dateline and other shows like. Most people that are online are the averages Joe's you would meet anywhere else

Sure, but only after I had talked to them on the phone and got to know them offline. Just meeting someone online doesn't automatically make them a creep.

No. Online dating is very impersonal. It's understandable that people feel at ease to be themselves with no identity, however, you wouldn't want to start a friendship/relationship in that manner would you?
