There is no way to know for certain. If you feel you have developed feelings for this person, don't be mislead even to give personal information out, and be careful the person your online with could be underage, posing as someone older. The best thing to do is set up a public meeting place, to meet, and even then you will not be able to tell if they are sincere, it will take time, that is all you have to prove if this person is being sincere.

i met my fiancee online (myspace), there is no way of telling for sure if anyone is sincere. sometimes you just have to take a chance. now i dont mean go hang out at their place one on one, thats dangerous, i did that once and ended up raped. but i got back on my feet and met my fiance, we met for the first time face to face at the community college after 1 month, at 2 months were were at each others houses, 5 months wer were engaged, 1 year i live with him and now 1 1/2 years later we are inseperable! so it all depends on the person, never meet in a deserted area!!!! ALWAYS make sure some one knows where you are, how to reach you, where you could end up, all the persons informatoion....everything!!!
you can always find out how real they are by making up a new screen name or account, and try talking to them without hinting that you are you. its a great way to catch people!

You won't know. And even if you meet in person, it will take some time to determine how sincere the person is, as some ppl are great liars. Don't get too invested in the idea of a person just from online contacts, bad idea!

I've tried online dating. You never know. I guess you'll have to meet in person. Although, suspect of the "too good to be true". My advice is set up a date on a public place a coffee shop would be great. Get there earlier order your own drink and if the person is a liar you just leave the scene. We run into weird, psycho people everyday, just talking with them is not a problem. Just make sure that you are on your safe zone!

there really is no guarantee that the person you meet online is sincere.. the thing about people in the Internet is that most of the time, they're not for real...i'm not generalizing, but then again you can always look for the signs as to what your standards of a "sincere person" are..

I met my b/f of 4 years online we were in totally different states i was in OR he was in CA. We talked on the phone all the time and sent pics back and forth, then after about 3 months of that we decided to meet i took the bus from OR to CA. But i never would have if my whole family hadnt known about him and talked to him on the phone and i gave them his address and phone numbers he even gave me his moms phone number and his drivers licence #. I went and stayed with him for a week and then a month later i moved in with him. There are bad people out there but if you know how to deal with people then you will be ok. Ask for his information and if he willingly gives it to you then cool, if he asks why or says you asking for it means you dont trust him then be cautious and let someone know where you are going or even bring someone along when you meet for the first time. Make sure you are in a public busy area like a coffee house. Most important go with your gut. Listen to your instincts if you arent comfortable meeting him then DoNT.
Good luck and be careful!

You won't know until you have met and spent some time with the person. Anyone can make you think they're sincere with words, it's the actions that prove the deeds.

There is no way to tell. Some bad people can appear very sincere. Don't give out too much info about yourself, guard your heart and if you meet, do it in a public place and make sure someone knows where you went to meet, what time and etc.

Yeah, most online ppl are fakes. Don't trust the person at all, and don't give away any personal info to this mystery person. Nowadays there are so many dangerous scams b/c innocent ppl are gullible to fall for this "dream" online person.
Be careful!

you can never know until you meet in person. many people use online relationships as a way to cover up real emotions, because you are never in face-to-face contact with the person you are dealing with. ask for a personal meeting before you make any big decisions.
