It's fine.Ask me a question. I like giving advice. If you don't like the advice I give, or the opinion I have, it's fine.
Sometimes you can't get through to people no matter how long and hard you try.
advice
So I met this guy online that I really like and I've known him for about a year. We just started talking on the phone a couple days ago at around midnight for like 2 hours and just yesterday we IMed each other for like the entire day and talked about nothing. :P
Problem is, we live about 600 miles away from each other so we can't see each other.
I'm 15 and he's 15- what do you suggest? Does he feel the same way about me?
Corresponding with someone you met online is a dangerous thing. But I'm sure you know that already.
You've already given him your phone number, so there's no stopping that. But just remember that though you've "known" him for about a year, you don't actually know him. You know his voice and his words he's written, but I would keep it at that. Personally, I think it's a good thing that you guys live far away so you can't see each other.
I'm not saying that because I hold a grudge against you and just want this relationship to fail. How could I hold anything personal against you? I don't know you. I only know you through the Internet...just like this kid you are talking about.
He says he's fifteen, but you probably know that he could be a sixty-year-old pedophile. Like I said before, it's dangerous.
Of course, he could be telling the truth. There's always that chance. But even if he is, you should still be wary. You two could share with each other deep dark secrets that nobody else knows over the phone and computer, but that still doesn't mean much. He's a stranger sweetie. I personally consider anyone you haven't met face-to-face a stranger.
If you ever at some point want to meet this kid in person, please first tell your parents what you plan to do. That way, if something happens, they'll know and will be able to help you. Also, bring a group of friends and meet in a crowded place.
But again, I really don't suggest meeting him. Perhaps you should keep this relationship strictly on the computer.
Safety first hun. Good luck.
(Rating: 5) Thank you - I will always be wary of what goes on online cause I know that he could be a dangerous person.
Don't worry, I'm not going to give him my last name or address or anything like that. However, on his myspace, he's got a picture of himself holding his 8th grade diploma on it that has his name and stuff and he has a bunch of friends on myspace that go to the same school as he does (they know him personally).
But I won't give out my last name or anything like that.
