I have met a man in person that I met online. We chatted for 2 or 3 years before we met. I was scared but yet I was excited. We met in a K-Mart parking lot first, and I guess if we scared each other off, he could just leave and would not know where I lived. lol..... But it turned out to be a great vist. jWe got along great and we are still good friends, 8 years later.......
