God has made someone for everyone, no matter how you look there is somone for you. Even if you are deformed or retarded God has made some one for you.

How about sending someone my way, Lewis...tired of living alone. I'll even put on my Tom Selek mask!! :-D

Tom Selek !!!

Sweet, sweet ambiguity...

I have myself met someone in person that I met online. It's an interesting experience and can be a lot of fun, but I do not condone it without proper precautions.

I am 20 years old and rather sensible, though I suppose that is my own opinion. I spoke online with Adam for over a year before I met him and I spoke with his best friend for longer. I have also spoken with both of their parents. Both they and I have webcams so I know well what they all look like (ie: not creepy old men in disguise). When I went to visit relatives overseas a few hours from where he lived, it was too much of a chance to waste.

This was not, however, a dinner and movie meeting that places you in potentially dangerous situation with a virtual stranger. Adam came to visit bringing his family with him to meet with me and my family. We hung out as a group all day before he had to go home. It was quite awesome. He came over alone to visit us the following summer and we all had a lot of fun.

Still, there are creepy people out there so you have to be careful.

I would say that the majority of the time, it's not a good idea to meet up with people you have met on the internet, but I watch a lot of court TV ;-)

But I believe there are geniune people on here also.

Wow... this forum is a lot slower than I'm used to. In my usual haunt, my comments would be lost to the wind by now. They would, however, have had more responses. *laughs* I guess you just can't have everything.
