I've already met...4 people from the internet....1 turned out to be a very bad person (a murderer)....sometimes there are no warning signs sometimes with people. Other times if they want all your information (where you live, your last name, etc.) and they keep talking about sexual things with you then you might want to put a red flag in your mind. If you start talking to someone and they say they have a girlfriend but are willing to still talk sexual/intimate details with you, you might want to stay away from them. If they start telling you information about how they molested their step-siblings you might want to put a big question mark there, too. All the guys I've met from the internet were not worth meeting, although one is my boyfriend of 1.5 years. But if you've read any of my other posts you know he's not the greatest guy in the world. But sometimes you can't know. I didn't with the murderer.

I've met many people.
I'd like to think that I'm a pretty good judge of character, and with the number of people I've met I've never had a problem. I won't share the number with you, but it's up there with Mr_Music. In some cases, I've ended up in a relationship with the person. Some just casual dating. Some just friends. And some nothing at all. Both of my ex husbands, actually, I met online. I know - two ex husbands at my age? One was stupid. I was 18 and I'd be lying if I said I actually loved him at all. But I did it. Second was very much real and important and everything it should be. Even now that we're no longer together, he's still one of my very best friends. I'm rambling now, but my point is yes I have and yes I would. |

Would you REALLY meet someone in person from online? If so, then when do you know it's safe to actually meet that person? What are some warning signs to not meet that person? We live in a CRAZY dangerous world. Yes I would....if they were cool. Is it really anymore dangerous than meeting someone in life that you do not know? Isn't there just as much a possibility of someone you meet in person being dangerous? |

Is it really anymore dangerous than meeting someone in life that you do not know? Isn't there just as much a possibility of someone you meet in person being dangerous? For sure. I've met guys at bars who gave me the creeps WAY more than anyone I've met online... I think the chance of them being a dangerous creepster are just the same as someone online. |

Of course they are. You take the same chance whether you meet somebody online, or if you meet them at the Dairy Queen. It's all relative.

Geez. After months and months of searching (sort of), and quite a few weeks of talking in e mail and IM, I finally found someone who was willing to come meet me in person sometime in the next few weeks. I'm a pretty good guy and would never even think of hurting someone I met here, nor would I be afraid of them hurting me. If I was really that scared, I'd meet her in a crowded mall or something, and have no problem with her feeling the same way. But thanks to half of your horror stories, she might take a look into this thread and change her mind. Thanks a lot for trying to ruin my chances.  Thought you knew me a little better than that by now! Although... maybe you should listen to them... I could be the world's first petite serial killer chick. Yeah, I think I do. But if I really don't and you are a serial killer of guys you meet online, could you at least bring a good shotgun and make it quick?

Would you REALLY meet someone in person from online? If so, then when do you know it's safe to actually meet that person? What are some warning signs to not meet that person? We live in a CRAZY dangerous world. I always thought that internet dating was no different than real-life dating in that there is no guarantee that the guy (or gal) that you're going out with is a good, honest, upstanding citizen. It takes time, in real life, as well as in internet communication, to get a know a person. My only extra advice when meeting someone you've never yet seen in real life is this: - cam chat with them. while it doesn't ensure a great character, it at least ascertains that the person with whom you've been corresponding has accurately reflected themselves with the photos they've posted. - send them a gift. nothing special or expensive, just something to ensure that they've shared an address with you and were there to receive it. once they receive it, they can tell you what it was. this also doesn't guarantee that they indeed live there, but it's a small indication of their level of honesty and trust. - arrange for a friend to telephone you at a certain time during the date. that way, if the date sucks, or the guy creeps you out, you have an 'emergency' to attend and have to leave. ~~~~ I've been lucky in the few dates that I've gone on; I haven't met any wackos. However, I'm an extremely cautious person (I don't even like to park in the same area so that they can't see my licence plates!). There are lots of red flags, if you look carefully enough. My personal red flag: I'd been chatting with a guy, not in a romantic way, just casually because he was semi-local. I recall his wanting to travel up north to visit his parents and my home was about the 1/2 way point of a 5 or 6 hour drive. So we were thinking about meeting up and he wanted to get a hotel for the night and finish his drive in the morning. I gave him the name of a couple in the area, but he still asked for my postal code to help him google the area. Haha, a postal code in Canada gives you the exact street name on which a person lives! I immediately told him that I was not meeting with him and I stopped all further communication with him. and after all those precautions, she STILL wound up with a wacko |

Yes, I have met many people from online. Ladies from my Disney group that turned out to be some of my best friends. And yes, I have dated people many times that I have met online. I have never had a "BAD" date. Some I didn't end up liking as more than a friend, but we always had a great time.
You have to be a good judge of character and be able to spot red flags. Like others have said, don't rush into anything. Get to know them really well first, through emails, chatting on IM, and phone calls before you meet them. I will never agree to meet someone in person until I know them well enough to know for sure we will have a blast together, even if just as friends. And I don't consider making a new friend a waste of time. |
