I met someone on the internet who seemed to meet all my requirements based on her profile. She has the right complexion, height, job (teacher), and religious background.
We are due to meet each other soon, but I am concerned about many things – what if this is a mistake? What if I am being deceived?
Would you marry someone you met on the internet or on a dating site? What is your take on this?

You will need ample time to get to know (study) her because the internet is a place where one can take on an identity different from who they are. My chance to marry someone I dated/met online is 1:1000000…my take!
So true @ Mim, sometimes people create fictitious profiles online to attract unsuspecting partners. However, I like to say that it is important you ‘investigate before you affectionate’, wink.
That’s a decision that can be made only after meeting the person physically, and finding out whether he/she ticks the boxes on your list of “requirements” or expectations. The meetings/dates need to be mostly physical and as frequent as possible. These are only guidelines though. To each, his own.
Online Social Media(OSM) should ONLY be used for the purpose of connection. After connecting,every other thing should please,be OFFLINE. Marriage can be very mean when dealing with those who joke with her institution! #QuickDownloads™101
WARNING: Potential spouses should be drawn from your pool of close/covenant friends of the opposite sex – friends with whom you share the same VALUES,BELIEFS &GOALS(VBGs),friends that you have known over time without romance attached,and can vouch for their CHARACTER. Anything outside of this,comes with a lot of unnecessary risks. That is one of the reasons why our time should be spent on being a friend by building FUNCTIONAL FRIENDSHIPS that we can bequeath to our children. Do this,and you will never lack the right suitors if you are a lady,nor good ‘wife-materials’ if you are a man.
