Meeting via* the Web

W: Hi, Pete. Guess what! I met someone online. His name is Steve, and we chat1 with each other almost every night! He is such a sweet person. We really have a lot in common2.

M: But you haven’t met him face-to-face* yet, right?

W: No, not yet.

M: Why not? Don’t you want to?

W: I don’t know. I’m not sure if we will get along3 when we meet in person*. I’m happy with our relationship4 now. Why change it?

M: I just want to know when you are making a move5 from messaging6 someone to actually meeting them.
