Well there is nothing wrong with meeting people in chatrooms - as there could be nice surprises but the best way to do is meet them really quickly in Real Life to see the true colors of this person.
I have met men in churches, through nice friends, schools and coffee shops yet there were some jerks so it doesnt really matter where you meet them as long as you exercise common judgement and NEVER ignore red flags!
Good luck with this one, Pinky - am glad that you are happy.
