A good friend of mine, who I met online is coming to visit me. Ive known her for 4 years, but this is the first time that weve met in person. Any tips? And even though she is hot as hell, no pics :p

I met a chick from far far away... Knew her a couple years. She came out to see me, we went out, got drunk and... well... that was one fun week.

And she came back very soon after, and again ;)

Say "Wow, it's great to finally meet you. Can we have sex now?"

Alternatively:

"Hi, I'm your stalker."

Meet her in a public place for the first time... like a restaurant. This way if either of you gets too insane you both can still walk away.

4 years now much in particular you have to worry about.

Go get some food, and if sex is in the cards get to it.

I met a lot of people from online when I traveled....I would hit AOL a couple weeks/months before my trips and make 'stops' along the way....sometimes it was just dinner or drinks, sometimes I'd stay a night or two. A couple times I have been mislead, but it's cool, you just say sorry not interested and move on.

PICS or bann!

You are free to use your scanner and rely on a more "physical" and analog method if you lack any digital means of capturing her soul. A scanner might seem crude, but it's still better than a fax machine, after all. Maybe she won't like the idea, but wth...

There isn't really any etiquette per se. Be yourself. Obviously she likes who you are online so that's what she's expecting when she meets you. Have a good time and don't worry too much about it.

Hmmm, i had the very opposite. Me and friends who i met online gaming met up in Chicago last August. It was a lot of fun and even though we NEVER called eachother by our real names basically the whole time we were there (aside from mine since i use it as my nickname) it wasn't wierd at all. I felt like I already knew them and the conversations were great to talk about things that happen online that you usually don't get to talk about with anyone in real life since they arn't around you. Or atleast in my situation. :)
