Like some of you, I met my hubby-to-be on the Internet. Some people don't really like to tell others that they met their partner online cuz these people tend to be skeptical. My, then boyfriend, now fiance, told me that the Internet is just another platform for people to know each other, there is no difference from meeting the person from work, or introduced by family or friends.
In fact, generally people are more vocal of their thoughts when chatting with "strangers" cuz you're not quite exposed to the criticism from close family and friends which will put you down.
Regardless of where you get to know your new friend, you have to be smart and cautious as bad people can hide not only behind their computers but also put on a mask in their daily lives other than in the virtual worlds. In addition, you always have to know a person well before you decide if you wanna commit your life to him or her. Thus, it really doesn't make much of a difference if you do know him or her from the Internet.
Once you're sure of him or her, go for it and enjoy it.
