Virtual to Actual

The one downfall to meeting someone online is that you want to meet them in person. And, in some case, that's probably the point. I mean, you probably want to take it a step further than just simply being someone that the dude talks to on Tinder.
My friend recently got a Tinder, and has raised this question. How do you take someone who you've met on the inter webs, and transform them to an actual, boyfriend? When is it not creepy to say 'hi, i think we should try to go out on a date.'
We live in a society where the internet has been given a bad name. We live in a society where we doubt the person behind the screen is actually the person behind that screen. We live in a world where people lie, and society begins to lose faith in love, in addition to trust.
So, what if you meet someone wonderful? Someone that makes you pretty gosh darn happy, and someone that makes you feel like a person. Someone that makes you laugh, and someone that you can just be with. Is the fact that you met online a deal breaker, because they may as well just be a serial killer.
What is the protocol for taking your online relationships, offline?'
