He told me he liked me too and after talking it through, he came and visited me. It was rather bad. We got on well, but it was awkward all the time and when he left I felt very relieved. He still had strong feelings for me but I didn't feel anything any more, and well, we stopped talking. His visit had made me feel a bit awkward to say the least. A bit later I met my current bf on the internet, but that's a different story because we went to the same Uni so after a week of talking on msn we met, so it's not like we had been talking on msn for months.

And he turned out to not be a crazy murderer which was a great starting point ;) We were talking for about 6 months before we met in real life and I did all the things you suggested. I googled and got pics and stalked to make sure he was an actual person etc. My situation was also a little different with the fact that he USED to live in my town and had family here but had moved to another state to live with his Dad. We've been together 18 months now and he has a 15 month year old son that I am a very happy Stepmumma too. (Long story short, the Mum is an old "friend" *wink wink* who didnt bother to tell Steven she was pregnant till we'd been together for 2 months "hey surprise you'll be a Dad in a month yay") However I have a workmate who has had two online "relationships" the first one was an obvious fake and i do not for the life of me understand how she thought this guy was a real person. I mean, his profile pic was a male model, it was the ONLY pic he had, and every single one of his friends was a chick (this was on facebook by the way) I had to break it to her that I didnt think he was legit and she should ask him for pics of him with certain objects etc. She asked, he disappeared off the face of the planet. The second guy she is "dating" is a real person and he is now living with her and he has no job and the other day he managed to lose her wallet. Sigh. So yeah, it can happen, but often the guy or girl turns out to be a fake. You just have to be smart about it really. This reminds me of a hilarious picture I took from a real magazine. Somebody ACTUALLY sent this into a magazine psychic... http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/85/l_cec0a0ae6574925e05b6875fcd0854ad.jpg I also met my partner online (Myspace ftw yay)!
