Comic Geek Love
I have yet to go on a date with someone I met on the internet. Here's why.

I used to work at a comic book store on the weekends (a dangerous enough place for any unaccompanied female), and soon after starting, developed a following of comic fanboys.

One in particular, "Ted", was very attached to me. Ted asked me if he could add me on MySpace, and in the name of keeping peace, I said yes.
When I signed on to MySpace later that day, I saw Ted's friend request and clicked the link to his profile.

Wow. The picture of the guy on the profile was tall, muscular, handsome, in short, everything Ted was not. Ted was short, bordering on obese, and balding.
Profile Ted was into kayaking, hiking, and wokring out.
Real Ted spent at least two whole days a week at the comic book store, gossiping about the latest issue of X-Men or griping about the inaccuracies in the latest Batman movie.

This convinced me that I should never, EVER date someone I met online. God only knows what they're like in real life.
