i've actually met a couple people online. more than i'd like to admit. i find that if you don't expect anything (romantic or otherwise), then it will all work out fine. too many people meet with this idea of a "date"... a couple of my friends have brought me along when they were meeting someone like that and it went horrible. people also project themselves how they want to on the internet, it can be easy to get fooled. that doesn't necessarily mean everyone out there is trying to fool you, or that it's dangerous to meet people online.. just be safe about it. and know what you're getting into. it's easier to meet someone with no attachments to that person because it can be a weird relationship online before meeting.. build up the relationship *after* meeting, not before.
i met Will online about three years ago through something like myspace but we started becoming good friends and confidantes despite the silliness of how we met. that was behind us. and i never once thought of him as someone i could be with back then.. when i met him in person, i didn't expect anything, although we had started talking on the phone regularly almost every night. i was worried it wouldn't go well at all but i took a chance and now we've been together for almost 5 months.. i feel i'll be with him for a very long time.
