I'm just curious about how other people see connecting through an online site and what efforts they'd personally make to make a real connection.

What I like to do is trace their IP address to find their location, and legally stalk them. To legally stalk is to not get caught. rolling on the floor laughing Naturally Im kidding. But I think whatever both choose to do is acceptable, as long as it really isnt a stalker type situation. Both mutually agreeing is the key.

rolling on the floor laughing Like it!!

Seriously tho, I think that probably emailing/texting/IM chat is probably the best for a while; you can tell alot about people's personalities and compatability from their words.

But there is no precedent to work with; go with it while it feels good, change it or get out when it gets uncomfortable.

No, I don't want you hurting your cute little paws.

A friend of mine is being stalked by another female, though. Any advise for her?
