It should ONLY be done if you have your own vehicle, and even then, I wouldn't suggest it before around 18, depending on your maturity. Any first meeting should always be done in a safe, public place where there are lots of people around. Both have their own transportation there, and both can go home alone. After the initial meeting, both can decide how "safe" they feel around the other, and go from there.

I've met several people off the internet, but always in public places, with my Hubby along.

I have met the love of my life on the net. I mean there are alot of wackos online, but then again there are wackos everywhere. I say if you are comfortable with someone and have been talkign to them long enough its fine. Unless your a child. There are good people online, just as there are offline as are there bad people on both as well.

I think you have to be very careful. I met my hubby on the internet. I didn't want to meet him (I kept telling him he was probably an ax murderer) but I ended up seeing him somewhere where he didn't know I was there (turns out we each had a child in the same class at school!) and I was able to observe him without him knowing, so he was acting natural and he seemed pretty ok. And my son had met him (he did a lot of volunteering in the classroom with his telescope) and he liked him! lol

I've met a bunch of people from AB and - no problems at all. I would still exercise a reasonable amount of caution, no matter who I was meeting. That will be fine with anyone who's above-board.

Leary - I have never gotten into the whole chat, call, meet ordeal they have going on sometimes.

Been there, done that. Not on a dating website or anything, I wasn't looking to meet anybody, but a couple times I happened to meet people who I felt I really wanted to form a friendship with outside of chatting on the computer, and I did so. It's how I met my husband, in fact! I'm not saying it's always safe, or that you should meet up with every person you meet online, but if you feel that it is safe and appropriate, then I don't see a problem with making friends or starting relationships with people who you met online. Always meet them in a public place the first couple times, though, for safety purposes. Better safe than sorry, there ARE bad people out there who will take advantage of people's trusting natures.

I have done it on several occasions, but I had to be sure it was in a public, safe area. Thankfully they never turned out to be old perverts.

i've met someone off the internet once, and i won't do it again. he wasn't a bad person to me and we talked for a while before meeting. we only talked in person. he grew on me so it sucked to later see that he was "dating" other women. then he stalked me for a while when i blocked him. he asked to see me again and he even had a gf at the time, i'm not like that so i told him no. i'll only meet someone off the internet if we know a mutual friend these days.
