Oh God that weekend I was sooo keyed up! Poor Chris had to keep reassuring me and bless him he even texted me that Monday night to make sure it had gone ok :) On top of it all i'd gone and missed the train by waiting at the wrong platform! I'm just glad i didn't "miss the boat" ;)
I've seen a lot of people meet and fall in love on the internet sight unseen or offline when they later meet in person. Most have worked out and i keep hearing about new ones. The internet is wonderful for meeting people at least. There are always stories of people turning out to be nothing like who they portray themselves to be but then, that can happen anyway. You learn to look for consistencies while you are getting to know them. I think that's key. Mind you, finding out what they're like drunk in a pub still might make or break it lol i wouldn't want to be with someone that turns into a nasty thug when drunk, totally different from their sober side.
Did you know Suzi offline before LJ? I'd say you could justifiably argue that you met him through an internet friend, certainly you met because of the internet even if you didn't know each other as friends directly from it.
