I met a wonderful lady on imvu, wasn't planning on it but we just sort of found out we were compatable, but I did know from other woman I talked to there that they are some times not who they claim to be, so when I found the lady that has become very special to me before I would get to deep I asked her to start to skype with me, after many months we finaly decided to meet in person, as we both live in the same state it wasn't so hard a commitment to drive to see each other, but we both met in a very public place, this was so we could feel safe, especialy her, toughest part of meeting some one is the urge to move to fast, if you do you get blind sided and don't see everything about some one, by going slow you can at least learn about them, so my advise is first meet on a cam chat to verify they are who they are, then meet some place public so you both are safe, and let things go very slow so you can see who they realy are, then hopefully they still become who you emagined them to be,
good luck if your into imvu for dating,
