in context of net dating (6)
Influx I go with B)
What you know of the other person realistically is squat. You have to assume they talked honestly and answered your questions honestly. It is easier to get a feel for someone if they are interacting on the forums.
For they are interacting with more people so will show more sides of their character. And if they are lying they will soon spin so many lies they will show themselves up.
But talking to someone over the net before meeting them wil at least make that first meeting easier and give you background for talking.
You just have to remember you really know nothing about this person. You still have to find out how truthful they have been, and those personal unasked (Depending on ones nature)Questions still have to be asked.
But I think this is a great way to break the ice.
Point of fact - Half of those One Night stands wouldn't be one night stands if those personal unasked questions had got different answers. But you got enough of a feeling from that one night to know you weren't interested in trying again.
One can not form an opinion until they have done the meet and greet.

thanks dragon there are sane people here 
Sane tell that to the voices in my head 
HI ALLI have no answer I've been scammed but never dated !!
But I'm still here hopeful that it might work for me !
Oh Man I have met so many over the years both from online and offline that I have lost count 
I have met some awesome people though even had a couple of longer term relationships and had a few try and play me with their made up lies and stories but don't regret being adventurous and having a go.
I have found lowering your expectations if you decide to meet someone and anything else is a bonus - simple! But not everyone is upfront and honest or what they seem online or for real so a caution factor is also a positive thing to protect oneself.
I guess I wouldn't be who I am today had I not ridden the adventure and had fun and will continue doing so selectively

Yes iv'e had the scammers and all in all they are just damn rude praying on people like ourselves, more so wasting our time.
My point is that if you do get to know someone over the messaging system does it make you expect more of them ... or on a first meeting would you take the step back and say hey? i really don't know this person but i'll see how it goes....just a question on what people think of internet dating.
