Ask Tamara: Computer Love

Dear Tamara:
 
I have been chatting back and forth with a man I met online and now he wants us to meet in person. I admit, I am a little nervous about meeting him, but we really hit it off online and I really want to take our relationship to the next level. My family and friends seem to have mixed feelings about whether it’s safe for me to meet him in person. I feel like I know him well enough. We have exchanged several photos and chatted using a web cam. I really don’t think online dating is any different than going on a “blind” date with someone you never met.  Do you think it’s safe to meet him in person?
Computer Love
