Please don't meet someone that no one has ever heard of. For ex., If he is living in NYC and knows NO ONE that you know, not even minutely, don't meet them. There is something wierd about that. Online friendships are cool. Online romances, hmmm. Maybe I feel this way because of the things guys I know offline have lied about when they go online and meet different women. True, these things can happen offline but, let's keep our wits about us as soror mentioned. Thinking you're meeting Mr. Right only to realize you've just met Mr. Molester.
