Meeting people from the internet

Not trying to scare you but I will tell you a little story about my neice. She met this guy on the internet too. And they talked and talked well she decided to go to Ill. and meet him. And she brought him back with her, to make a long story short. They married and he whacks her around. He's weird. But if thats what she wants who am I to say. Just be careful.
And if it all works out. Have a good time. You never know. I have heard of others that have met and they clicked. So good luck. Odie
