yes... ive met a lot of people from online, actually... some were ehh... some were cool... so it depends. and u should meet the person in public place... and i have made mistake of meeting people at their house before.. thank god nothing horrible happened...

no i have met any one so far for friend ship or sex. but it happened i met many for business in some countiries far away and i travelled to meet them, later most of them turned to be good business relation exchanging new ideas and funds. we sell and buy so many machines this way. more than that it had been a chance to make many friends in those countries.

I met my fiance' on line 2 years ago; we've survived in this LDR even though it's difficult to see each other so infrequently. We'll finally be able to live in the same place this summer and plan to get married at that time.

Dadaist and raven18 have the right idea, here. We all have stories, it seems, about meeting people from online. Can't be scared to take a chance, it's not much different from asking someone on a date as far as fear of rejection and possible relationship failures.

My first online girlfriend has been engaged to a guy from the net an had it break up. It's easy to lie on the net about yourself, it's also easier to only show what you want, but think about it. Is the guy at the deli guaranteed to be more "normal" then the guy who posted a bio of himself to an online dating service? They also have telephone dating services, which can be just as scary. The advantage is, you can meet ANYONE online.

It's like, I believe it's possible to find a compatable mate here (online), especially considering I live in a small town with poor transporation options. It's a big world and we're all looking for a needle in a haystack, proverbally. Of course, if I don't pop my head outside and look around 3-4 times a week she might be right next door, how would I know?

I've visted a few people from the net, I've had a few visit me. My dream is to get rich and through a big bar-b-que and fly in all my IRC friends, like a big chat room with no X in the corner

My 2 cents.

I met someone here at Pixies a few months ago and, after untold quantities of PMs and e-mails, we finally talked on the phone for the first time a couple of days ago. He has the sexiest voice I've heard in a long, long time! As far as I can tell, he's an honest, caring person and he has alleviated a lot of my fears in regard to "fake" people you meet on-line. We are planning our first in- person meeting for the beginning of April. I can't wait to put a face and body to the words and sexy voice...I hope he's feeling the same!

Meet someone on the internet? On Pixies? Move in with them? Marry them? Have a child with them?


Oh I couldn't possibly do anything like that!

I've met people online and I honestly have to say it's not really much different than meeting someone in a bar or whatever.

I met my ex partner online was the worst thing that I have ever done

i met my gf about 10 years ago through a chat room. we talked for a while. and we agreed not to trade pictures; instead we focused on our compatibility. then met about 3 months later. i remember thinking how beautiful she was - although she would've been beautiful to me regardless.

not sure how possible it is nowadays, seeing as how my prepubescent brother spams "a/s/l" in chatrooms like it was his day-job.

I've met quite a few people online. Some were good and some weren't. It just works better for me than meeting people at a bar or something...I'm a little shy. I met my boyfriend through yahoo personals and I've never clicked with anyone like I do with him. Even though my boyf and I live so close to each other, we probably would have never met in person. I got to really chat with him first and get to know his personality and when we finally met in person, it was like we knew each other for years.
You just have to be careful about being sure to meet in a public place and have a friend on stand-by to bail you out if it doesn't go like you expected.
