There are positive stories about people meeting via the Internet, I can assure you. I am one.

My girlfriend and I met each other 2 years ago over the Internet. In that time, 4 other relationships around us have dissolved into nothingness while ours remains strong. I suppose that is becuase we met each other while talking and we continue to talk with each other daily (albeit face-to-face, but you don't hear me complaining )

Anyway, use the same caution you would in the real world and you should keep yourself relatively safe, but there is no reason for the hysterical paranoia you hear on the radio or see on TV about Internet relationships in general.
