Solamente: How many people have you met in person or seen via an interactive video program like skype?
Met one guy for lunch here in Scotland right back when I first joined. Eek, not a very accurate bio! Lesson learned to do more research up front.
Talked to one for months on here and on a skype alternative, but texting only, not visual, until it got a bit too intense. No intention ever of meeting.
Talked to another for about a month before buying a webcam and going to Skype. Then met him.
Not even made Skype friends? Distance does suck but there are very few people from Scotland on here. I thought there were quite a lot of South Africans, though, certainly several active on the blogs.
Yes I KNOW it is a big country. Always loved that request to the tourist board, "can I walk from Cape Town to Durban following the railway tracks?" - the answer was on the lines of yes, but take plenty of water, it is 1000 miles.

My laptop has a camera, but is off all the time since I bought
bungallow55: keep your camera off, you don't know who is watching you
(whispers) I make it a rule never to discuss state secrets or my bank accounts on skype
I do sometimes hear snoring when I'm 2 hours into a skype conversation. And once I swear I heard someone with a heavy accent whisper 'does this woman ever stop talking?'

I met one in person and we saw each other twice: the first time in my country the second one in his country. It didn't worked, he was a liar and a bad person. By Skype about 6 or more, but only 2 are still my friends. I think this is not a place to find a partner, maybe friends or hookups but nothing serious, and less if you are far away or from a country like mine.
