I've been talking to this guy on Mingle2.... really nice, seems fun, likes the same things I like. He keeps wanting to meet me, but I am so scared for some reason. I am confident and like who I am, but I've never met anyone person to person from the internet. I don't know if I can do it... I keep giving him excuses.

Just do it!!! Its fun- sure its nerve racking but so is meeting someone you met in real life for a date

Face your fears - you might have a great time

He just invited me to meet again as we speak...

the internet is not dating..until you meet....this should be accomplished as soon as there is interest....otherwise, someone will end up on a pedestal , and the other will be,inevitably, disappointed....

GO ahead and meet the feller... but DO keep some things in mind-

- Meet the dude in a public place like a restaurant and NOT at your house, in case you end up with a stalking serial killer or something.

- Make sure you're REALLY sure of his intentions before you do anything else with him. Again... that stalking serial killer business.

- If the dude's main vehicle is a white full-size van, be VERY leery, as he's probably a stalking serial killer.

Keep playing him.

Then he can come on and complain how nice guys finish last.

Be smart, agree to a meet and greet. No more than 1 hour, public place, coffee shop, cafe, keep it simple and easy. Tell someone when and where you are going, who you are going to meet. Have them agree to call you during the date, to check and make sure you are OK. If you can be there before your date gets there, and let him leave first. If you want, don't let him see what you are driving.

If the vibes are right, agree to a more regular date. But meet him there if possible. You don't have to let him know exactly where you live either. Again let some one know you are going out.

I think that is part of my internetdataphobia... there are crazy people out there!!!

You have every right to be cautious though.
Meet in a neutral location, a public place of course.
Anyone on the internet can be deceptive.
Play it smart

Just make sure it is a public place what ever you do and I would suggest maybe a lunch date for the first time and nothing else. If you like hime and hit it off then go for a second date. But myself would not make evening planes on the first one. And well have a friend call you if needed about 1-2 hours after your suppose to meet in case you need a excuse to leave. Never hurts to be prepared!!

Thx... I'd think i would prefer a lunch date, more casual. Not so many expectations.

Public place, and comfortable place too. Meet him their for like a meet and greet and then go from their.

Ive met several people from here its fun and nice to meet new people! Just meet in a public area like I always do.

yeah, meet in a public place a couple times first so you can get a "feel" of what kinda person this dude is.

wow this sounds like a girl i met who was afraid to meet me for someoadd reason. then i found out she had a bf....

He keeps inviting me over there, but we live like an hour and 1/2 apart.... he should be coming to me, but there is nothing to do here.

The first time is scary. But anything new and different is like that.

I have met some very nice people. Guess what?! You may even have fun.

Michiganman had good advise.

All have given you great advice. Make sure, as one of them said, that someone else knows you're meeting someone. Have a plan in case something happens that makes you uncomfortable.

It's sad that some people have taken the internet which could work for so much good and turned it into a place where you have to be extra careful.

It's also a good idea, if you find yourself liking a person alot, to meet as soon as possible. That helps to keep false illusions from being created and then everyone ending up being disappointed.

I'm afraid to meet people period.

Meeting halfway is good.

Haven't had a bf in maybe 9 months... not the problem
