Online dating is a waste of time. Find someone, become friends with them first. Otherwise, your going to meet like ten million losers who lied on there surveys, and a desperate for anyone.

If you are an adult and plan to meet in a safe, public place, then I don't see why not. Perhaps even have a friend present with you for that first meeting.
I've met many people in person, from online, and although we didn't always "click" in-real-life there were no scary experiences and no one was completely different than they'd represented themselves online.
I would never suggest a minor do such though, without their parents present. Otherwise, use your best judgement but protect yourself and your privacy until you are comfortable enough with this person to reveal that type of information.

YES! I met a girl and I've been with her now for 3 months. I'm planning on asking her to marry me in the future. By all means, yes. First meetings should be in public places, and only for a short period of time (not for more than an hour). Make sure someone knows where you are and who you are meeting with. It can be a lot of fun - especially when you meet someone who takes your breath away and just may be the love of your life.

One bad experience does not mean the whole system is flawed. Don't give up so easily! This person is an entirely new person from the last one - and your relationship with them will succeed or fail for entirely new reasons.
Go ahead and meet them, but don't expect too much - just because they aren't your soulmate doesn't mean it was a failed experiment. Consider it practice for when you meet the right person. It's just a date, not a marriage.
And be safe - meet in a public place, let a friend know where you are, stay sober, and don't go anywhere private with the person.

Yes, but only if you do it in a safe place. It's kind of like a blind date. Hey, you may end up making a good friend. Go into it with the attitude of meeting a friend - don't expect to find your soul mate. However, you just might meet the right person. I know several couples that met online.

As long as you are careful and use your head. You take a chance when you meet anyone, but the more people you know, the more you are likely to find someone decent.
I met my husband online...we've been together for almost 7 years and we are just as crazy about each other now as we were then. It is possible to find love online, just be careful. It's not for everyone.

Like yourself I met someone whom I had been chatting with and it went very bad. I was frightened but did meet up with this other lady I had also been chatting with. Dam that was over 4 years ago. And we went and did something that we both swore that we'd never do again. We married a little over 5 months ago. If I hadn't met up with this wonderful lady I would not have met my soul mate. Trust your gut instinct, if it feels right go for it and if not don't bother. Best of luck, sorry couldn't be more help.

Me too, I would not give up.
Really I was not disappointed, but online chatting is an easy way of dealing with what you may not be facing in when in the presence of someone. Everybody has baggage and learning to see it for what it is will help you deal with future disappointment.

No, their all bs. You have to meet them first in person. Thats the way real relationships work. It is like saying should i meet someone that i met on the phone. Its not a good idea.

Sure, go for it. I met my husband online and it worked out great! I also met a few nutcases, too....just like in real life.
Just learn to weed out the ones you are not interested in, and get the know the ones you find interesting....just like in real life.
