I have had good meetings and bad meetings with submissives I chatted with online. Flamingredhead aka VoodooGirl and I met, but talked extensively online first. The entire experience is one I reflect on with positive memories. Her Dominant is a very lucky man. On the flip side of that, I met a submissive once that during the first meeting she declared that she was in love with me. I must say I made fast tracks out of there. I don't think it is wise to make such a leap that soon into meeting someone. Then there is karin, some of you might remember her. I met karin online, and ended up marrying her. That entire ordeal turned out badly due to the past being covered up, but that doesn't pertain to the thread.

Anyway, I have had good and bad meetings from people I have known online. I don't think online is a barometer to the success or failure of a first meet.
