Alright this is very different from the bar scene and I dont particularly like using online sites but since I feel I might not understand the tenet for meeting people online I thought id ask.

Basically I expect to chat with the person for a week or so online, meet somewhere public, talk to the person and if we are both interested in one another go from there.

What ive experienced from other sites is I get an address to meet them or they say somthing with no value in it. I dont respond to these emails and ive only had one encounter remotely similar to the way I explained earlier. My question is am I being overly cautious its not as though im anywhere near as cautious at a bar but considering its the internet and the weird emails ive gotten in the past and the stuff ive heard about it seems like the only people out there to meet have std's or are way more trusting then they should be?

Since this post has gotten several views id like to get at least a few opinions on this.

I Agree.
I've met several men inperson; but not from off this site.
And, they could be trusted. However, I got to know them Well before
I set up a meet. I do not do the Bar thing.

If I'm meeting someone local, chatting for a week then meeting in a public place sounds completely fine to me.

I totally agree. Even chatting for longer than a week before meeting - that helps me figure out if we really do have anything to talk about!

Public place for coffee or lunch, then see if it you want to spend more time with them. No matter what you'll still probably get a range of responses, from being stood up to wanting to split after 15minutes to making a connection.

It's a process... enjoy it for what it is worth. :)

I think what you're doing is right. It can take a long time to meet someone on line, though. The longer someone has been on line, the more cautious they tend to be (if they're smart). So I would say just keep looking, keep trying, but be patient.
