I agree Lucy, has any female ever met a man on the net who was truthful? Maybe in the longer term they might have to fess up to who they really are….. by that time it might be too late, you would have met them and who knows what might have happened to you.
Keep in mind Claudia Lawrence the woman who went missing in York, its never been established what happened to her but the police suspect her disappearance is linked to the Internet and chat rooms. I dont think the net is a good vehicle for meeting people in real life, there are a few exceptions I know… but very few and its risky in my opinion.
