Well, I have met people off of the internet, but I have never had a relationship solely on the internet. Usually what I do, after I've talked to them for a while, we'll usually exchange numbers (always get their number and block your out when you call, just in case). I can't stand typing to someone about personal stuff, its easir to just call. I've met, 2 guys that I dated, and some friends. We usually meet pretty soon, like I said, I need actual contact. I actually try not to talk to someone who is far away, unless I'm ONLY interested in being friends, the long distance thing sucks (been there, done that). Some people think the internet is evil, and only evil, lonely desperate people are online, and its hard to prove your point when DAILY kids get snatched by pedafiles who claimed they loved them. But I look at the internet as an avenue. If you met someone at the mall and gave them your number, you're in just as much danger. Just because you actually see them first is irrelevent. But I wouldn't chat or IM online too long before some more personal contact (phone or meeting in person).
On the same note, kinda, has anyone ever signed up on an online dating service? Has it worked? Did you pay to get on it?
