I can empathize 150% with the girls that are leary of a real life meet, (especially considering what happened as a result of my one and only real life meet with a very seductive evil vile monster and his so called sub, who was probabley another victum he enlisted to help trick me, I would never reccomend to anyone that they just casually hookup in real life with anyone from the internet male of female.
That being said i may be a bit tainted by my encounter, I have heard of several people meeting and luckely nothing bad has happennd to them, conversely i have heard of a very small, even fewer number of people that actually developed real life relationships with a online person, some of which have turned to long lasting truely wonderful coupleings of soulmates of the deepest bondage and love
probably just goes to prove that love online is just as rare and precious as in real life
