I mean people you've met either to date or as just friends. Just wanting to hear other's experiences. Bit chicken to meet people that way myself.

I don't have anyone particular in mind to meet, I've never tried it.

The last guy I met on the internet was 2 years and a month ago, and we just got married last month! Before that I'd met a few guys, and some of them resulted in relationships and some didn't but none were seriously weird. I think if you're reasonably intelligent you can tell the kind of person you're talking to. For example, when I had a profile on AOL and strangers were able to IM me I always just ignored the ones who asked what I looked like first, or my bra size, or if I wanted to meet for sex. The way I look at it is, you find out a few things about the person you're talking to, and then you meet in a bar or somewhere - how is that any more dangerous than meeting a stranger in a bar? As long as you don't tell the internet person where you live until you've actually met them and decided if they still seem nice. Yes, there are some weird people in the world who use the internet to pretend they're something they're not, or to get close to others for unsavoury reasons, but they are the minority. Most people just see it as a good way to have a chat to someone without the awkwardness that can come when you try to talk to someone in person.

I met my now husband on the internet. I also met a few other people as friends and honestly, the internet is just another way of socializing. Sure there are weirdos but its the same as meeting them face to face without the risk you know. It gives you an advantage to first get to know the person a bit then meet. Most guys are the shy type online and use that as a tool to stay in the real world in touch with real peole. Always remember that when considering meeting people online you should us caution just as you would in person.

I did... several times actually. What I have found that some are....well horizontally challenged, but they're a good communicator. I do still in contact with them virtually but to go ahead, I'm just not attracted physically.
My suggestion, go meet the real person you've been dying to see. Be prepared though as, u used to use your brain while meeting on the net. Now, your eyes will see, your skin will feel & touch, your nose will smell. At least 3 additional sensation & you might be overexpected.......yet....meet them.. & good luck

I've never met anyone on the internet. But I have friends and relatives that have. After listening to their feedback, I'd say it's fifty fifty. My brother, for example, met a really great girl on the internet and they have been together for awhile.
The way that I look at it is that it's an "in" and once you have that you can meet them and discover more about them and see if you like them or if they are a good / bad person.

It is a mix. My friend had a serious stalker that stemmed from someone she met over the internet. Just be careful, and never meet anyone in your home or by yourself. Never give them personal info until you actually meet them.

I would be very careful agreeing to meet someone you never met in person. First of all, you really don't know who ur talking to. They had a program on TV on how they were busting guys to go meet these "Girls, or young ladies" for sex. Every one got busted. There could be killers, crazy, or even criminal insane people out there. You never know any more today. You'd be better off meeting someone in your area in person. Ask ur friends if they know them.

I met two people, and they were both great experiences. It's good if you correspond with someone for a long time before you meet them, it helps weed out the freaks.

I've met friends from message boards at concerts. It has always worked out, but I've been on that board for 7 years now, so I know I can trust these folks. Plus it's always in public.
I would never date someone I met online.

I've dated 5 guys off the internet. The last guy that I met is holding my heart hostage and will not give it back.
