I am probably going to sound like a old bugger here, but can I just mention for the younger people on here, that you really do need to be careful about meeting up with anyone you know nothing about.
Stories are rife in the papers about teen girls, running off with so and so person. And the police have done many an investigation on this very subject.
I have to say I have met a couple of people, that I have met via the internet, but one was a girl, and we webcamed so I knew she was who she said she was and we spoke for a year before we met up for a shopping trip.
Then I talked to Jeff being on staff you do hehe but we spoke on IM for a long time. And we became good friends, so when he was working in the uk, my hubby and I went down to meet him for a few days, since then he has been to our house for holidays and we have been over to CA to see him, and will do again.
So I am saying, you can make some wonderful friendships on line before meeting in person.
If you do or have met anyone on line and want to meet up, I would say the following:
Make sure you have more than one photo of them, ie they are who you think they are.
If you do meet, make sure it is somewhere public, and if you are young, take someone with you.
Just be careful that's all, myspace, IM whatever medium you are using, just think before you leap.
Over and out
