I have had a few bad internet 'get togethers' myself, but I lso agree its a great way to meet people...
A brief internet date story..I drove to Philly a couple years ago to meet someone, to make a long story short, I ended up asking to use a bathroom and while the woman was in her bedroom (which happened to be where my brand new sneakers were) I made a mad dash for the door leaving behind my shoes...
I could write a book on these internet romance/dating stories...some good, some bad, always adventurous...
