I most certainly have met quite a few people online. Honestly I think I have met more people online then I have offline. This includes anything from forums to online dating sites. I don't mind meeting someone I originally met online if anything I prefer it. Gives you the chance to feel each other out, and get to know one another before your sure you really want to go forward with anything meaningful. Yes there is the risk that the person could be dangerous but thats true even offline if not even more so. So I guess for me I just have a good judge of people, and if they are going to be good for me, or not so I don't mind meeting online. I have traveled accross many miles to meet online friends. I'd gladly do it again.
