I meet people from online in real life all the time! As long as you have good common sense and avoid places/situations you don't want to be in, what's there to fear? The news/media always portrays the Internet as this big evil thing that seduces mindless people into bad luck, etc. No! :) You can't blame machines for the actions of people, simply put. If/when you seek out others for friendship or more, just have your wits about you, stay observant and try to enjoy yourself. Don't do things you're not comfortable with. I think these are common sense things...

I would be reluctant to travel for example, from Australia to Europe just to meet with someone I got to to know online. If it's in your own area, I'd meet them in a very busy cafe for coffee/lunch. Then you'll be able to see very quickly whether you want that friendship to continue.

i think it could be nice!!!!!!!!!!! i never meet anyone from net.. (they are very far from my country) ,, but if you find a nice friend.. it will be nice.... ,,

haha~ i never try it. but my friends do it . i always sound one does it,some become goodfriend,they help eachother in study,in work or just talk. but some other ones become strangers even on net. i think i will and willing to try if i meet a person who i think is the right one :-P

i will meet some of them,i like to meet them in a party etc.whether he/she will be my real friend,that's hard to say
