Each situation is different. I've never been stood up. Of course, I always hope for the best, but you have to deal with who the person really is, not who you guess they might be after only online contact. If you daydream about the person too much before meeting them in person, your fantasies can end up masking who they really are. Then, a couple months later, you post in the forum about a bad experience in the relationship and everyone yells, "Why didn't you trust your intuition and common sense?" Well, sorry, I couldn't hear them because my fantasy wisher was turned up too loud.
