Is it safe to meet someone in person that you met online?

It depends on the situation i think. 3 years ago i met someone from the site pogo.com....now we are married and have a wonderful son. We just celebrated our first year anniversary last month!

I have met oodles of online friends in 3-D! Of course, I am not young and I take no chances. We have always met in a public place and, if it was a male, my husband was always with me. I have met one from CA, two from IN, three from MO, 2 from MI, one from WV, one from NC and one from AL. They have all been wonderful experiences and several of them have become very close friends. I am still in touch with all of them and we are still all friends!

I think if you trust on that person

NO! it's not safe at all. you never know if the person is a rapist, murdere, etc. i would never do that. it's NOT safe at all.

I think it all depends. You kinda have to go with your gut. I've met several people that I knew online and it all turned out ok, but I had to be sure I could completely trust them, first. I don't meet anyone I feel I don't really trust. I hope that makes sense... Also, make sure you meet them in a public place like at a mall or a coffee shop or something. Don't meet at a house or get in the car alone with the person... Ya know? --- --- --- "I certainly think Britney Spears is the devil.

I don't think I would do it. It seems dangerous. If I did I think it would only be with a friend in a safe, public place.

it is definately not safe ! i did that before when i was younger and still single. and i got in the car with this guy. something bad could have really happened to me.

do it in public and take a friends don't do it alone

Wow, that sounds pretty bad but yet it sounds like an interesting story. I have met a few guys through online personals (before I met my husband, who I met at work, different story). They were all normal and I still maintained a friendship with a couple of them after we stopped dating.

2 boyfriends from on-line! Still very nice men whom I am friends with today. The really sad case - the guy who sent me a picture of what he looked like 10 years prior! Shows up to an upscale bar in deck shoes, white wash jeans and a polyester sport coat. Was already pretty drunk when I got there - on time so how long had he been there? And kept trying to touch me and was insulting to the bartender - really bad ethnic jokes

ya I did too. But it was safe.

yes y not

i have met several guys from online ..a few of them did turn out to be complete nutcases...one i have remained friends with (we met as friends only) for the last 8 yrs..and one i have been married to for the last 7 yrs ..(happily i might add) i think just like real life..you go through some jerks..but they are also some nice people out there...

yeh if you know them good enough i guess....

I'm kinda disappointment you stopped at that. It sounds like a really interesting story! I wanna know more. haha But I haven't met anyone from online.

Well sometimes it is and sometimes it's not most people are not who they claim to be online and act tottaly diferant when you meet them in person. I went all the way to Russia from the USA to meet a girl I talked to for about 6 months on the internet well she was not who she said she was and she did thinks she said she did not do online we only tlaked for a few days then we decided it was not good for either of us to continue.....but I am still looking to meet a person that is who they say they are and is turthful.

I met my husband on ICQ. We met and soon after were married. We recently celebrated our 8th anniversary. Many of the people I know that have had online affairs did not have happy endings. Like any relationship, you need to know the person before involving emotions of the heart.

Well i meet a online friend one day for lunch it went ok i guess but i was kind of scared to meet him. I wasn't meeting him other than to be friends and i made that clear before we meet up.

It should be safe to meet someone in person if the meeting takes place in a restaurant or any other public place.sometines such meetings result in dissapointments. I married (happily) the first lady i met in person after an online friendship.....

I met my husband online two years ago. We have been married since valentines day last year and just had a beautiful baby girl together. So it worked out great for me. We lived about 250 miles apart so we would have never met any other way. But I agree that you have to be really careful when you meet people online because it can be dangerous.
