I was reading Clayton's comments on age...shouldn't being underage become an issue if you are meeting in person? I understand that it may or may not have relevance to talking online, but when we are meeting each other in real life, we are leaving the secure bubble of cyberspace and going into the Real World, where many laws do actually apply.

When we meet each other online romantically, aren't we hoping to meet in person eventually anyway? I think people need to get age information up front before any type of relationship begins. It doesn't matter if 2 people are attached. If it is illegal for them to be together, then that is an extreemly important thing to know. It may not be worth risking freedom for.

Maybe this is just a worst-case scenario, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
