Is dating a guy over the Internet a good idea?

Answer

No it's not a good idea. Why not try the old fashion way like meeting someone that perhaps one of your friends knows or some place you work. At least you can see them physically, know who they are, what they look like, what type of personality they have and if you really want to start a relationship up with this person. On the Internet it could be anyone and it's dangerous. Anyone could tell you lies over the Internet and be the exact opposite and it's dangerous. More young women go missing because of their Internet romances. Sometimes some of these men are out to recruit young women and police are literally tearing their hair out trying to get women to listen to the warnings of meeting on the Internet.

Of course I know there will be a follow up on my post with people saying that they have met the most wonderful person through the Internet, but the truth of the matter is the success of a happy relationship by this method has an extremely low percentage rate and only a very few get lucky.

NEVER give out your last name, you address, phone #, talk about your family or what city or town you live in. Be a mystery if you persist on talking to this person. If this person is serious and a good person they would have no problem wanting to meet your parents or family. Keep safe!
