I met a few guys online, dated some of them for a brief time, and I am now currently married to a man I met online. It is just like dating in real life, only you meet them intellectually before you meet them physically. I had better luck meeting guys online than at a bar or a club, at the bar or club they only ask you out if they find you hot, and you tend to only say yes if you find them hot, online it's all about the personality and intellect, most of the guys I met at bars were one or two dates top, then you find out there just isn't much more there than the physical attraction.

Actually, I met a guy from online nearly 11 years ago. We set up the meeting after having talking on the phone and we met in a public place. Now, in 2008, we've been together ever since....been married nearly 8 years now and have 4 kids!!

Would I recommend what I did for everyone? Nope. I think meeting someone from online is very risky since they can really pretend to be anyone and really "set you up" to be hurt....physically that is. Does that always happen? Of course not...I just think there is greater potential for it to happen.

As for bar/club versus online....I think the only difference is the actual "visual" that you are allowed. Online, you never know if the picture you receive is actually them, whereas in person, you "get" what you see.

I've met several guys online, and dated one for a few months. Generally, the people I've met have been honest. The difference is sometimes guys will look online rather than try to meet women at bars/clubs.

I met someone online once, things seemed to going great, but he turned out to be a freak, he was lying about so many things, and he was totally nuts. He was stalking me and then when I told him the relationship wasn't working for me he started threatening me that he'll tell all sorts of stuff we did together to anyone else that I would date and that he would post my pics on the net and ruin my life and what not..

So I would say that you should be VERY careful before you get into something online. Take it slow, and make sure you KNOW they're telling you the truth about everything. How much they are willing to share with you will let you know whether they're for real or not, and small other things that can tell you, so trust your instincts and be careful, try never to send any revealing pics or having cam to cam sex or anything of the sort..

it's not always bad!! but it can be.

I met my current boyfriend online. You can trust them about as much as you'd trust anyone else you meet. The most common deception of meeting someone online is how they really look. Other than that, I don't see a difference if someone is lying to you online or in person.

If you decide to try it, take it with a grain of salt until you meet them in person and start dating them. If they decide to date someone else they met online, it's not different than if they decide to date someone else they met in the grocery store.

The one thing I like about meeting someone online is that you get to know more of their personality before the physical attraction is there.
