I have been doing a few msg with someone though. I still don't really know much about the person ya. I already like the person though. Does that mean that the person is right for me though. Can someone just like another person by msg with someone. Any advice would be cool. Thanks.

Well, in this day and age, there's nothing wrong with meeting somebody online first. Back in the day, maybe that would have seemed weird, but these days basically everybody is on the interwebs, so you never know who you can meet.

However, you can't really have a relationship just online. So, personally, I would tend to recommend not getting TOO attached to anybody online. You really need to transition to being able to see each other in person in order to have any kind of real relationship.

BUT... that said, any time you choose to meet somebody in person you've only ever met online, please do so CAUTIOUSLY. You never know who you are meeting. So, to play it safe, meet in very public places like a mall, or a highly populated restaurant or coffee shop. Somewhere that, God forbid if the person turned out to be a psycho, you would still be relatively safe. Eventually, if you are comfortable enough with the person to trust them you can begin to take things more seriously and stop worrying about that, but it is always best to play it safe at first.

Of course, the other possibility is that somebody is "catfishing" you, so to speak. In other words, they may be using the anonymity of the internet to their advantage. They may be saying they are somebody they are not. Some reprehensible people have even gone as far as to send pictures of themselves to an online "girlfriend/boyfriend" only for it to eventually be revealed they were NOT the person in the pictures at all. If you've ever seen that MTV show "Catfish," it is all about just this sort of thing.

So, to sum up, basically sure it is fine to meet somebody online, and even fine to like them enough that you feel like maybe you want to pursue a possible relationship with them. I would just advise against getting too attached to somebody until you have a closer face to face relationship. Otherwise, there are just too many risks. They aren't the person they claimed/they have no interest in a real relationship/you never get to see them in person/etc.
