In about 2-3 weeks time, I'm actually meeting up with her and I don't think I'll be able to leave her after the day.
Basically, I think they're ok if you know what you're doing and if you are responsible enough to know between right and wrong of an e-relationship. This means you shouldn't really strip or describe sexual acts on MSN via webcam/typing, as you never know whos on the other end... But I never have done that anyway, as it's just way too risky and well, with the amount of expose sites nowadays you'd be pretty screwed hehe.
There is the risk of it being a 65 year old drunken man with a divorced relationship and 5 children all starting jobs in the garbage industry, but sometimes when you know it's right, you really have to follow your heart about it. It's reccomended you go with parents too, which is what I'm doing as she lives far away (for the first time I'm meeting her of course). Her parents are going too, so we'll both get to know eachother and expand on a healthy relationship of trust and love.
Really, they're right if you know what you're doing. :)
