Did anyone here hook up with someone from Craig's List?

I don't understand how people can claim they "dated" someone for a year plus that they had never met in person. If you just know each other virtually, it could be entirely a lie and at best I'd call someone friends. I suppose this goes in with the "Love or Sex?" thread, but if there's no physical component of a relationship - I'm not even talking sex, I'm talking seeing the person and knowing they exist - it's worthless. I'm not talking existing relationships that become long-distance and people try to hold on to - at least they know they're holding on to a real person. Claiming that you are "dating" someone you've never met is complete bullshit in my eyes.

How ya doing, buddy?

Meeting online? Deciding you're interested? Sure. But there's a statute of limitations here. Somewhere before the year point, it goes from "potential relationship" to "what the hell is the point". If it's been six months and you're so into someone and you STILL haven't met, either arrange a meeting or give it up.
