This happened to me many times as a teenager. If you have never met someone, the problem is that we many times only show one side of ourselves through text only...and often times, it's different than reality. We would meet up after weeks or months of email/texting and the person would be completely different in terms of the fantasy portrayed online. After this happened a few times, I had a rule of meeting the other person within 2 weeks or move on.
