Well, I have never tried it, and I don't think I will, but...
To be honest I don't think you're old enough to be internet dating... that's for like 40 year olds who can't seem to get with anyone, not 16 year olds.....
However this is just my opinion, and I don't know your exact situation.
If you really think you want to meet with this person, and get to know each other, you should just ask her online. Saying, "hey, maybe we should meet up sometime, get to know each other a little better" should work. Be careful though, you never know who your meeting. Otherwise, it's up to you. If you do meet up, have fun! and don't take anything to seriously, just be yourself.

Online dating only works in some circumstances, the main factor being how often you are able to see each other (if you are able to meet in real life). It just doesn't work out if you can't see each other at some point, because eventually one or the other of you will end up fning someone in real life. It's a sad truth. So, really, if you did want to do this, you need to figure out if it's at all realistic for you guys to meet up in real life once in a while.
I have had experience with online dating, and it is not something I would generally recommend unless you were in circumstances like me where you're in a very isolated region and don't have any other options.
So yeah, you'll have to think about it, assess it and see if it's something you're up for, etc. We can't make the choice for you in the end.

Sounds a little "Dateline - to catch a predator" to me
are you even old enough for online dating sites - isn't that like 18 or something
If I were you I wouldn't do that and give personal info to some stranger

ok, i don't want to put you off, but i have done it and found that its not the best move. at the time i thought it was awesome, in fact, i know it was awesome. i really liked the girl, we got along great and i loved every moment we got to spend online together. but its when you start wanting more from the relationship that the internet can't give you, that you start running into trouble and that was the beginning of the end for my online relationship. as much as you want all the things of a regular real life relationship, the internet just doesn't offer that. you can't hug her, you can't hold her, you can't kiss her. you can't go and watch her win a game of sport and see the happiness on her face when she scores in that game, you can't be there to give her a hug when she is sick and the "you can'ts" continue. the bottom line is, its very rare for online relationships to work unless there is some certainty that you will be able to be together in the end.

It's stupid, and a waste of time.
Seriously. Take it from me.

Not an actul date site. I meet this person on myyearbook with the match maker thing. And this person has more than one picture. I can see if u guys think it's wrong. But nothing like match.com eharmony.com. I will never do those sites. And I got to know this person more so it's really nothing bad. Thanks for the advice though.
