No you dont know anyone until you have met them+lived with them otherwise you cant really trust someone merely by talking to them,
Well they are potentially dangerous more so than meeting someone face to face as the internet kind of gives a front to hide behind. I am not but I could be a male for example pretending to be a female. No one can prove that wrong without meeting me. So it is best to be cautious and I think u can get a sense of who is likely to be genuine and who is not. But there are many stories that come out about the dangers of ( especially) women travelling across the world to end up meeting a con artist who has chatted them up on the net. But of course internet relationships have developed into good marriages too. Just dont jump into anything.
Internet relationships are weird and dangerous and I would never do such a thing. I need to see someone in person first before I date them. I do not like online dating either. I think it should be illegal.
It depends how deep the relationships are. I've had some really good ones...but there are always, always the people who you can't trust. So yes, it's best to be careful, play it safe, and stick to the basics, don't give out really personal info, etc =)
I think that it is dangerous cause they could be lieing about who they are. And i would make sure to meet him before u get serious. Because u never know who he might be in real life.
Internet relationships need to have some sort of a safety net, just like trampolines should have.
Very unsafe and dangerous! Anyone could pretend to be someone else, a so called 13 year old boy who loves bmx riding could be a 48 year old creepy pedo!!
Friendship then it is okay
From my own personal experience, useless.
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. My sister met a guy on line, they met in person, dated for a while, got married and it all fell apart in about 4 years.
They're really dangerous. I met this guy on the internet and i thought he was 13 but he was 46 years old :{
Sometimes they can be fun. Just do not give out your real name, phone number or address. Just have fun and keep it unpersonal.
I've seen some turn out really good and some terribly awful. I don't know what to think. Lol
