It's always a possibility to be aware of, and I am always cautious when I chat to people online.

However, the beauty of the internet (especially if you meet someone on a site like this) is the liberating fact that you can be honest about who you are. There's no need to pretend....for a lot of people the internet is freedom to be yourself for the first time ever. For this reason, most people are honest about who they are. When you've spent hours and hours talking to someone into the middle of the night when you're both tired and defences are low etc, it would be very hard to keep up a pretence of being someone else. It's also important to chat on the phone before meeting, as that gives you a clearer idea of whether someone has something to hide.

For me, I've always had a pretty accurate bullshit radar, therefore being taken in by someone was never much of an issue for me. I certainly knew I could trust Fussy before we met, and of course, I've been proved right.
