I'd be very cautious at first...but I think you can get to know someone very well..just using words. Perhaps better than in RL...higher signal to noise ratio.
However, I'm pretty picky about my men...and I don't like just "getting fucked" without some type of mental connection...so it would have to be the right person.

i met my "friend " online about a year ago it will be in novemeber and from that day i havent looked back apart from fucjking each opthers brains out as some of u will know we are also best mates and tell each other absoultely everything . only problem is i live in the uk and he lives in france.  . apart from being my best mate though he tuns me on soooooooooo much . people seem to get the wrong idea about meeting people online and i think they have been blnkered by the media cause all you ever hear about frm the media is the things that have gone wrong when people have met online. there are some bad people out there yeah but then there are also some loving caring and very nice people out there.

I have been very badly burnt by an online relationship but mainly I have made some incredible friends and think I have met the woman who i will spend the rest of my life with.
Yes you can lie and be deceived but face to face relationships are fraught with the same risk.
Most people are decent i have found but the ones that aren't have more scope because of the degree of anonymity that you can have online

There are pluses and minuses. But I have meet some great people online, a lot from Pixies itself. I have meet a couple in person, and so far have not been disapointed. And no we did not get together just to fuck either. But I don't think it is all bad. I have had my share of burns, but that happens in RL as well as online. If someone wants to lie, they will do it either way.

I'm engaged to a wonderful man that I met in an online chat. We talked for a couple of years before meeting IRL, and have been together five and a half years now.
The biggest problem is the distance. I think that if you want a long-term relationship then you should stick to people in your own area. Phone bills and flights are too expensive so you should think long and hard about what would happen if you actually fell for someone before you start something with them.
Now we're faced with someone having to move to another continent so that we can be together. It's a tough situation to be in.
My best friend has met her boyfriends online for years, but she only talks to guys who live in our city. Most of her relationships were short lived, but she's independent so it worked for her.
Just evaluate what it is you want, and go into it with your eyes open. Be safe (that coming from someone who flew to northern Europe for three weeks to stay with someone I only knew from online).

Hey I'll take all the friends I can get, right? I mean, who here doesn't need someone to talk to once in awhile? A place to go where everybody knows your name? Sometimes an online friend is even better and closer than a real life one because there are things I've told my online buddy that I've NEVER discussed with my r/l pals! I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say "you'll get better advice online than in the real world". But, for that to work, you need to be honest!
Anyway, it's a good thing.
