u are not nuts for doing so. i think of it as a blind date and even blind dates dont know anything about each other or seen each other. good idea for telling a friend. i would suggest meeting in a public place and bring ur phone with u. its ok to feel wierd about this. i met my husband on myspace! lol we have been together for 4 years and recently married. we have talked and seen pics of each other before we met. which was nerve wrecking.

hope all goes well! good luck
