I would say that talking to these guys online probably isnt the best idea, i'm not in your situation, but i would think it was best to avoid situations that might lead you to feeling worse, like if they turn out to be losers, plus you may be in a manic or mixed state and your decision making may not be in the best place.
Obviously all advice is easier said than done, you only realise how to overcome these things once they're over. Hindsight!
