It really isn't that big of a deal, online meetings and the whole internet dating thing.
Thanks to anonidate, I've met a boy and we are planning a hookup here soon. He seems nice, I of course am very nice, so there isn't any worries to be had.
and you don't always have to find the right one on the first try. it takes time. etc. etc.
in the meanwhile, talk to as many different people as possible to find out what's even out there. you will be very, very suprised.
