Just be yourself and relax. Have a little drink to calm you down. I would meet in a public place or with a friend you can trust. Take your time to get to know the gentleman. Things will progress naturally, and you will know if it right to pursue the relationship. I hope it works out OK for you. Just be careful. None of your friends want to see you get hurt or brokenhearted.

everyone is always so down on finding love online... you need to make sure you do everything as safely as possible... taking someone with you when you meet him, meeting him in a public place, etc etc. I met my fiance in a yahoo chat room almost 3 years ago... we've been together for 2 years now, living together a little over a year, and we're having a baby. There is nothing wrong with finding love online IF YOU ARE SAFE ABOUT IT. My fiance is from North Dakota, and I'm from Michigan, and when we decided to meet, he flew out to Michigan for a week, because I told him that when we met it would be on MY turf, where I was the one in control, knew where everything was, had friends and family nearby, etc etc.
It's probably going to be awkward when you first meet in person, no matter how much you talk, because you'll be face to face. It was awkward with my fiance for about 20 minutes, and then we were fine.
I wish you the best of luck, and I really urge you to use as much caution as you can. There are some sicko's out there, and no matter how long you and he have been talking, you don't know everything about him. Just be careful, and be yourself. I'm sure it will go great!
If you can't meet him with a friend there, take your cell phone, and tell a friend or family member where you will be, what time, what his name is, and tell them if they haven't heard from you by a set time, to call you, and if they can't get through, call the police with the information provided. Make sure that you answer the phone when they call, and if possible, then when you first get there, excuse yourself to the bathroom and call that person, giving them a detailed description of him, just in case. I doubt you will need to use this stuff, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Make sure, too, that he knows you have given certain information to friends and family, just to be on the safe side. If he's any kind of decent guy, he will understand.
Good luck!!

I think Franky had very good advice. Meet in a public place.
Public meaning very public ,lots of people around and find out details, friends ,family , marriages ,kids . Ages and have him checked out if you become really interested by a PI.
Hell that cop had four wives and the the third one drowned in a empty bathtub and they cant find the fourth. So we know that there are weirdo appearing to be "normal" out there.
Just be very cautious and protect yourself .

Meet in a public place and take a friend with you.That way you get their opinion too.Having a friend with you might make you a little less nervous and more comfortable.
There are a lot of predators and fake people on the internet. So I can't strees be careful enough.

Dear HHH, please have anyone you want to meet vetted. You can get all you want to know about someone on line, and the cost could be less than a heartache. You will find out if he`s married, or has a job or is just out of prison or maybe he`s all he says he is. Please do this even if it`s a waste of time. I wish you all the best in any case.

if you are comfortable talking to this person it should be easy for when you meet just remember you probably said some stuff that no one knows except for that person. Iam shy and when i meet that person i was so much at comfortable for i already said a lot. So remember since that person all ready knows talk like you are talking to a best friend.

Just be like you are on any date. Even if it's a blind date it's still just a date. I don't sense that your concerned about danger. Otherwise I would suggest a public place to meet. Just be yourself. Relax get to know the guy and enjoy yourself. Best wishes!

That is exciting! Please be careful though and make sure a friend knows where you are and take your cell phone. I wonder have you exchanged pictures? If not you might want to it will give you a feel for what you might be in for when you meet face to face. Good luck :)

You met him on P&S?! For all you know he could be a ******* serial killer! Don't EVER meet someone in person that you met online first. It doesn't matter if you know all of the ******* "Saftey rules" if you aren't careful, you may never be able to come on P&S again! Please do NOT go meet him. If you want to make friends, try school or people that you're relatives know or something like that but don't ever meet people that you originally met online!
