Hey I'm 18 and I met a guy through a site that is meant for Christian's to talk and meet to get to know more Christian's in their area...
Well, I met this guy and he seems to be really nice so far. He wanted to hang out and go to a younth group together or something and I normally would never want to meet people online, ever, but it's SUPPOSED to be safe since it's Christian based site it's not a dating site or anything it's meant more for friends really...
He even said I could bring my Mom or a friend or family member and we'd definitely, obviously, be in a public place if we did...
Now I'm 18 so I wouldn't bring my Mom but I would definitely probably bring a friend or something... But, I have been hurt really really hurt badly in the past by guys and I'm not sure if this guy is for real?
He said he's 26 which would make him like 7 years older than I am.... But like when I looked on his myspace and stuff all of his friends (which weren't many) are all 18-22 at the oldest... And he told me he was out of school but I read a comment on his myspace of someone needing to ask a questions before their test? So, if he's out of school, why is he taking a test and why does the person need to get his notes or ask questions or whatever? He said he isn't working right now because he is leaving for a military medical thing in Janurary but that he'll still be able to talk...
What do you guys think of this situation? I wasn't and I'm not looking for a relationship so it's not so much that but as a friend do you think that's okay? Do you think he's being shady and maybe just hangs out with yonger people? If so id that creepy? Any extra input is fine but please don't be rude I'm asking for advice because I really am not sure, I've never been in this situation before, so there is no need to be mean please. I will rate and give feedback.
Nah, don't worry, it's clear enough. Anyway, about this guy you met, I can definitely see where you're coming from in your suspicions, but from what you've described, he doesn't really sound like a threat. What kinda guy would give you the go-ahead to invite your PARENTS to your first date? That doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful though. Do bring a friend, and go out to a very public place. Don't worry about him thinking you don't trust him, cause he suggested it! About his myspace, there's not really many years between 22 and 26, so it doesn't necessarily mean he's a pedofile if his friends just happen to be slightly younger. At least he didn't say he's 26, when in fact he's like 50, and the people in his myspace are 16 year olds. That would be disturbing. Maybe when he told you he was out of school [college?], he meant he was off for the semester or taking a break. These are both pretty answerable questions you can and should ask him, and not at all the kind of things to seriously worry about. Again, be sure to take a friend and be safe. Hope you hit it off =]. Good luck.
