    Hi,

    I've met sum1 online and in a very short space of time we've decided to meet but I'm at one end of the island and him the other. We've been very intimate online and seem to get on. I've never done this before. It was very random, not a dating site. I'm not sure if it would work in person. Do people turn out very different in person to what you imagine them to be online? It's all I think about but I'm afraid of being very disappointed by what I meet in person. Have anyone else got experiences they could share with me?

    There's nothing to lose really, as long as you keep the basics of (more or less) 'blind' dates in mind: Meet in a public place, let friends/relatives know where you are, etc.

    In fact I'd say the chances of clicking are a bit higher because you already know each other pretty well before you meet.

    Best of luck.

    I met my OH online and things are fantastic! Before him I met two guys who turned out to be the complete opposite of what their profiles said. One was a foot shorter and the other was married!!!!!

    Terodil is right, treat it as a blind date! If the guy is as nice as he seems to be online and he's genuine and honest then things will hopefully be great when you meet him. Remember he is as nervous as you so just try to relax and go with the flow!!!

    Best of luck!!!

    ive also been having an internet romance of sorts, i met someone via my playstation and i have to say its been lots of fun only issue is that he lives in a different country, he came to visit me first time last month and it was like 4 days and nights of blind date lol. we have known each other since christmas time or thereabouts so we were quite at ease in each others company, it was nerve racking because you have no idea if you are going to be physically attractive or whatever, but in my case it has worked out really well. im glad we decided to make the effort in short!!

    I know of a couple who met online, are now married with kids, another of my friends has met the guy she is with for the past 6 years or so online, so if it is for you OP, it will not pass you by.

    as previously said, just make sure you make other people aware of your movements and use your good sense until the trust is there.

    best of luck and most of all have fun, life is too short to say i should have met them sooner :)
