Do you Not want to meet?
Most people that like each other enjoy being together in person.
Are you asking if you should meet?
Follow some simple safety rules:
1) Always meet in a public place
2) Always take a friend, (never go alone, even if you're sure who you're meeting the 1st time......you don't know)
3) Always have a photo, if the face doesn't match the photo, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
4) Never give a home address, home phone #, anyplace they could track you down
5 Be smart, alert and aware
By the way, it's OK with me if you want to date online.
Does this answer your question?

I can't even be sympathetic with you on this, unless you are less than 12 years old. One does not DATE on-line. There is no such thing as dating on-line. You have an acquaintance on-line, that is all. You DO NOT know each other yet, so you don't have a relationship. People waste too much time, and are hurt all the time with these fantasies. Live in the real world, not some cyber Never Never Land.

You love this guy after talking to him for 3 months online? That sounds scary. It's ok to date online. You can get to know each other better before you meet. However, why haven't you met if you are "in love"? All I can tell you is, beware. The first time you do meet, be sure it's in a public place! Don't let him pressure you into anything, esp if he uses the "if you really love me" line!!! Good luck!

A strong 'No'. Because it is ok to chat on any subject. But dating involves risks. If you must date him, the meeting must be in a public place. Then after a lot of meetings if you come to find that the person is trustworthy and that he would not harm you , dating is fine.
Indulging in sex before marriage should be avoided at all costs.
Happy living.

You're not in love. You're also not dating.
People who date meet up and do things like go to the movies, eat meals together, go hiking, play Frisbee on the beach, etc. People who fall in love actually have to be in the physical presence of the other person. Otherwise you are simply in love with the facade that the person has presented to you, not a real person.
Unless you two actually want to meet, your "relationship" is going nowhere.

Your not dating your talking to him online. And it's cool to keep doing that if you like. But if you love each other then you should date in real life.

Definitely. Online or not, age, distance, etc.....all those things DO NOT MATTER. If you two love each other, keep on dating. You'll meet each other someday soon, and evantually, live together maybe. Though....for some, dating online is a bit weird, which is why I am single now.

Sure, it's fine.. Just don't let yourself get too attached to somebody over the internet.. I could put a pic of Brad Pitt and say it's me.. Also, you have to remember that this guy has time to think up his responses to you.. It's fine to meet somebody online, but if you let yourself develope feelings for somebody you've never met in person, it could end up really really bad and end up doing nothing but wasting time and hurting you emotionally.. Hope it all works out...

Sure, it's all good fun. We've all done the online dating thingy. Just don't get so wrapped up in it that he becomes your life. Chances are it won't be anything other than an online thing.

Yes, absolutely. But, before the relationship gets to serious meet him in a public place to make sure he is who he says he is. I met a guy online and we are about to go out on our third date and he is amazing, exactly what I thought he would be only better.Check this site out, it gives you lots of information on online dating, all that you will need to know. It was very helpful and informative.
