a guy you first met chatting online? How long after until you two decided to meet for the first time in person? Was it what you expected or not? Did you made out during the meeting?

The question is a bit broad.

If you're talking about online dating - then everyone here has met people that they first established written contact with.

If you're talking about random IM stuff, I think the same goes.

People have all sorts of ways that they handle these meetings, in general most people treat the first meet as a "are we compatible" get together which is generally over coffee or drinks.

Take a look at these frequently asked questions, because I think they have lots of answers to things people commonly wonder about:

I have met someone online in person. I met him in a chatroom, we imed for hours, and then a couple days. I have trust issues, and am usually skeptical of people I met online, but for some reason this guy and I really clicked. We met at a public place, and although I felt he was safe, I still had a gf on alert knowing where I was, what I was wearing, when I got there, etc. We even had a password that I called her with in the middle of the date so that she knew I was ok. I also called her when I left. Over cautious?? Maybe. But we both felt safer doing it this way. The guy turned out to be wonderful.
