1) Meeting a guy saying he's a girl

Are you trying to tell me this is not also true for "real life"? Give me a break.
I've met many folks via the Internet and never met a guy who claimed to be a girl, or vice versa.

Id stay away from online relationships like the plague.
The real question you have to ask yourself is how well do you REALLY know this guy? People are really good actors/liers, i know this cause im a great lier and i can make people believe whatever i want.

I've personally tried to start relationships with girls I met over the internet. The biggest problem with meeting through dating sites is there's too much expectation, too much desire for the "perfect" SO, so much so that you drop them before you really get to know them.. that is, you had nothing else in common with them in the first place. The second biggest problem is that meeting online usually entails distance.
That real question should be applied to
all relationships, regardless of where you met them, and what the purpose of your relationship is.
