That would be totaly up to you! I personally would not suggest it! I'm sure you will get plenty of replyes saying! yes go for it, it is auwsom, My fear would be not knowing the individule prior to meeting, you never know what type of person is on the other side of that wall!
Yes, you take a chance when meeting some one in person also, but you atleast have a chance to see who it is,and you have the opertunity to leave if your not comfortable.
My way of meeting people is to chat with them a bit first,then if things sound good I like to meet in a public place and make my decision from there.
You can tell a lot about a person when seing them in person.
I am sure I will get plenty of slack about my answer here, but that is the way I see it!

No matter what your decision is I wish you good luck
