I have a few good friends from the net. Since I've been chatting and visiting message boards such as this one, I've talked to 4 people on the phone. And I only talked to each of them a handful of times. Maybe I wasn't careful and wasn't wary enough when I gave out my number, but I took the chance.
I've also visited 2 people that I met online. The first, probably not the best decision. Nothing bad happened, but it just wasn't the best choice. The 2nd guy I visited nearly 2 years after we started talking. I trust him completely and we still are great friends to this day.
It's all an individually based thing. Yes, there are creeps online. And there are good genuine individuals. You just need to be smart and trust yourself.
