Meeting an online friend.
I have been talking with this guy online for over a year now. He only lives about an hour away but neither of us have met people from online so we've never met in person before. My parents are having a bonfire the weekend before Halloween and I've invited him. He's accepted the ivite but I've also arranged to meet him this weekend. I'm really nervous about it. We're really good friends right now and I guess I'm just worried that meeting in person will ruin that. The question I have is should I be worried?

if you are ready to meet this person have your mom talk to his parents first cause i think its the best . tell them you knew him for a year now . they should let you to meet him . never meet someone by yourself in person take a parent with you . so be careful what you decide.

Well, bring another person and all, to be safe... but it seems that you're more worried about how he'll turn out to be. Don't. You've known him for a while and talked to him quite a bit, so he shouldn't be too different in person. Good luck!

I say you shouldn't. Unless either you know someone who knows them or take an adult. I have met 3 friends which started only as internet entities, 2 were friends of my brother and the other was a friend of one of those friends.

Yes, you should be worried. You have never met this person, you don't know who they could turn out to be. Go with an older friend, or sibling, or even parent and meet in a place in the public with many people around. Just in case it turns out to not be what you expected.

I don't think you should be worried; you've been talking for more than a year. Now if you had only known him for a week...or even a month, I would raise some concern. If anything, the personal meeting will make your friendship better.
But if you're hoping for romance, that's a different story.

Probably. You've never met the guy in person, so you SHOULD be at LEAST nervous. You should probably have someone with you JUST IN CASE he's really a sicko. there's a chance; you never know for sure. I'm not saying hes actually a creep, i'm saying you don't know yet.

Well, I would be worried. I mean, what if the person is a sniper or something? This is highly doubted, but I mean, it COULD happen.
Just I would bring a friend to meet him. And make sure you meet in a public spot, incase this guy isn't what you expect.
Good luck!

Bring a friend, go somewhere safe, and tell your parents where you'll be.

Don't be worried, just bring a friend with you when you meet him. There is nothing wrong with online friends but be careful and make sure that he is trustworthy when you are with him.

Worried is a perfectly normal reaction for meeting anyone the first time, but it something that you shouldn't really worry about. It's normal. Just make sure that when you meet him this weekend that it's in a safe enviroment (i.e. lots of people around or take a friend with you). You're already friends, why should meeting change that? If you been talking for over a year then you basically know the guy and he knows you. Just go with the flow and don't overthink things. That way things won't get weird. Good Luck!
