Perfect Surprise

I read this wonderful post from Apollo on the date that marked 7 months since we met. This was a wonderful surprise as he expressed his thoughts and feelings. It would be great for him to post more on this blog as it is good to get the male perspective of online relationships. I have met many friends all over the world online and hope to get input from some of them in the near future.
Each week I plan to address a different topic about the pros and/or cons of developing a relationship with someone online. And one person posted a comment about when is a good time to exchange pictures. Well I feel that it is up to the individuals involved as you never know if the person that you are communicating with is really the person in the picture..How about a little feedback on this!!!! How does one know if the picture is real or fake???
