Here's the thing... I think that if you meet someone online, then you should do a background check on them. Here's why: YOU do not know WHO the person is... if even they are the person you THINK they are.. you have to be careful when talking to someone online, you never know what their TRUE intentions are...
That said: Yes, I knew this guy for 4 years online never knew him, never even saw his face, well... I lost him for two years, and then found him again, we started doing that online dating thing.. and then he asked me to marry him.. well like a fool I of course said yes. I moved in with him and his mom, and had a great run.. NOT! I ended up being a freaking caretaker for 3 1/2 years for a cancer survivor, (Grant you, I knew he had cancer when we first met) so... yeah all you ladies out there... MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHO HE IS BEFORE YOU END UP EITHER A SLAVE OR WORSE..DEAD!
