I guess I've been on the internet so long.....I really don't draw any lines between the people I've met online as opposed to the people I've first met in person.
If any of you were going to be in my area....I wouldn't have the slightest hesitancy to invite you to my house. Same is true for other people I met online when chat rooms were more popular. Thru the years I've met LOTS of people face to face who I first met online. Some were just friends...some were more in a date capacity. There really is no difference.
I could bring up the issue of guys who say they are single when they are married....but that same scenario happens in bars on a daily basis. What do you really know about anyone....just because they happen to be face to face with you? If we did....perhaps divorce wouldn't be so rampant.
SH...to answer your question....I would be careful with the date sites and be more prone to be in a community forum situation where you can get to know someone. However, beyond the occasional horror stories which can occur regardless of how you meet a guy, millions of people engage in meeting someone online first and have been safe doing so. It's a great way to meet lots of guys and chose which one more shares your interests. ....as opposed to in a bar where all you have in common is a drink in your hands.
