Meeting an Online Love Face to Face


In this day and age where most people communicate by mobile phones and internet, its hardly surprising that more and more people are forming online love relationships. I have several friends who hooked up with their boyfriends/husbands through internet. This is the rising trend nowadays, some may frown on it but then its a reality.

Meeting online friends or lovers face to face has its own risks and you also have to take precautions, particularly women, with stories going around about date rapes. iVillage has an interesting article on how to meet an online love face to face and how to make it work. Here's the general ideas on the article.

  • Better phone first before face to face. Set up one or two phone calls and use this opportunity to get to know more about your cyber lover and judge whether you really want to meet him/her face to face.
