on what terms would you meet up with someone you met online? does this scare any of you a little bit?

firstly you need to talk with them awhile. then a public place. By awhile I mean minimum a month.

Did anyone ever tell you that the snake is probably more afraid of you than you are of it? I think most people I have met are more afraid of me. I am only afraid of things that I can not shoot, punch or f*

Meh, I've met dozens of people from online. It ain't a big deal.

I've met a lot of people in person and it wasn't scary at all. I always suggest meeting for drinks or for a cup of coffee at Starbucks. The only rule I have is not to meet anyone I haven't seen at least a few, recent pictures of. I'm not into meeting someone I won't be able to recognize. I want to walk into a place and immediately be able to say "That's him!". I put my face out there for everyone to see and I expect the same in return.

I have met many from online, most were at meet and greets of large numbers. As yet I have not dated anyone from mingle, but if I found someone I felt comfortable with over time you bet I would go for it. I don't see it as any less safe than the other ways people meet. And if you meet in public you are probably a lot safer than picking up someone at your local watering hole.

Which once again begs the point I've brought up several times in the past: What makes meeting somebody for the first time from online any more risky than meeting somebody for the first time from the grocery store?

I've met people online. It was scary the first time. Just nerves on my part.

I like to email for awhile first. Then graduate to the cell phone.
Then if everything seems good, we meet somewhere in public. I let somebody know that I'm going too. I don't let them know where I live until I feel comfortable doing that.

I suppose it's all old hat to me. I have met many online, married one, now am involved with someone who used to be on here for over a year, moving there next week. I tend to be happy with my choices, even the one I married, then divorced.
