Mercy_x_Me answered Monday September 13 2004, 3:57 pm: First of all you shouldnt trust anything thats online. How can you prove this guy is who he says he is? I think theres a definite possible chance he is the picture he showed you but you have NO proof. And i know you dont want to listen to me because you dont even know me but i've heard kidnap stories, rape stories, all sorts of terrible stories about online dating, even murder stories. Do you really want to risk your life or healthiness for something that might not even work out? I know this isnt what you asked to hear, but I'll answer your real questions too. I'd have to say theres no way of not being shy if you've never talked to him in person before, all you could do is be straight up. And to not be scared?? Well bring a friend, then maybe if theres an 'emergency' they can help out. I dont think you should trust he doesnt care about looks, because you dont know him, good luck hun, hope ive helped really make u think.
Toxicxoxo answered Monday September 13 2004, 12:43 pm: What I would do is ask him that its ok to bring a friend along the first time you meet. That way, it's safe and it will feel more comfortable for you and most likely more comfortable for him. After you meet him for the first time and decide that he really is worth trusting, go out with him alone. [ Toxicxoxo's advice column | Ask Toxicxoxo A Question ]
sweetbabigurl answered Monday September 13 2004, 12:11 pm: well, although u may feel you know this person to the point u hav feelings, theres a good chance this person is not who he says he is. i know your probably thinking yea doesnt everyone say that about meeting someone online, but it is so true. i have been in your situation one to many times and whos to say that the picture is actually this person you are talking to? Although there are some situations where people do meet..its very different when u meet that person theres so much more u didnt realize about them because you only had to type back and forth before, and now u have to see eachother, and things become different. Also you have to think what if your parents dont approve of this? or what will my friends think of me? although you may not care what they think, you might want to think of these things before you make the big decision to meet this person..ultimately i know you are going to make you own choices but i hope my advice helped you to understand some facts about this situation...thanks for listening ,,kara [ sweetbabigurl's advice column | Ask sweetbabigurl A Question ]
IxAmxCrying answered Friday September 3 2004, 2:17 pm: This relationship honestly can't go anywhere over the internet.
I'd say you have to meet him.
Of course, it'd have to be at the mall, or another very public place, and you'd definitely wanna bring a friend or two.
Maybe you guys should call each other first, and talk on the phone for a while, before actually meeting.
Contrary to the thought, not all guys, are shallow egotistical, meat heads.
