xx-miss-cupid-xx agony auntHey x

Relax...this guy sounds fine. There's nothing wrong with it, some people find their life-long partners through it!

If you decide to meet him, be very careful though. Get to know him well before you meet him, and take a friend with you just in case he's not the person he said he is.

Everyone is dating online now...it's not a bad thing!

Good luck!

melschatbox agony auntHey..I've met lots of people online. I have chat friends from all over the world. It's great to learn about different life experiences from others. A year of chatting is quite a long time to develop something real if you ask me. IT's time to at least meet. If you don't feel comfortable meeting alone, take a friend. Good Luck.

Peterk5699 agony auntI met my girlfriend online and we're going very strong. We talk daily and everything is (almost) perfect.

Go for it and meet him (in a safe place of course) and have fun.

Enjoy it while you can and good luck!

Hey...There's always a risk when you meet someone online, but this doesn't seem bad. You've found a nice guy, and you should feel happy about it! I met one of my boyfriends online and we went out for a year! Give it a go, it's not a bad thing. Good luck! Cara -x-

TasteofIndia agony auntMy boyfriend and I met online and we've been together about a year and a half. He's a completely normal, attractive, fun, smart guy and I'm pretty normal myself. Nowadays everyone is meeting online... we are, aren't we?

Just be safe about it - meet a few times in a public place first) and I think you'll be fine. Nothing to be ashamed of. You met a great guy!! How many people can say THAT?

vina_101 agony auntI've met people online before and I don't really think it's anything to be ashamed of.I mean ideally you'd meet them in real life but it doesn't matter that much. Is this what you're thinking...? "internet dating is for old/middle aged pathetic loosers who struggle to find dates otherwise." Well let me tell you that that is not true and if you met this guy on the net there is nothing to be ashamed of. ok? The internet is just an option that you chose to use. It doesn't make you a looser or a sado or anything like that. So what if you met him on the internet. As long as you're happy right?

TDMB agony auntThee's nothing to be embarrassed about because you met someone online - thousands of people of all ages do it every day! Is this what's stopping you meeting up? A year is a long time to have a virtual relationship.

My advice would be to stop worrying about how you met him and meet up soon (in a safe way of course) and see how you get on. You might not even click in that way, in which case you'd be worrying for nothing. And if you do - well just enjoy it and be glad that you found each other - even if it did take modern technolgy to make it happen!

Good luck x
