I met this guy online and i really like him...he is really sweet and he asked me out...i said yes and i havent told my friends yet. The thing is they might think it's kind of wierd or strange that I met a guy online that I have never met before and actually talked to him..because they think that you shouldn't do that. Should I tell them or just keep it a secret to myself??
Thanks a lot!!
Confused

LiSaxOBaBii answered Saturday May 14 2005, 11:57 am: The best thing to do is break the whole thing off.Many older guys go on the internet and pretend to be something you're not.Stop talking to this person you don't even know.Something bad can happen if you give him information.There's a reason your friends don't think it's right:IT'S NOT SAFE! Talk to people you actually know or be friendlier with your aquantinces.Seriously,talking to a stranger is not a good idea.

shake answered Saturday May 14 2005, 2:08 am: Hmm, you're stupid. He'll probably meet you and rape you. Then walk away and you'll be screwed for the rest of your life. Bad decision that you made. If i were your friends, i would slap you in the face for being such an idiot.
Go get a boyfriend in real life and stop picking ones you cant see or have never met. Hell i could act super cool and fake an identity on the internet.
SAMzasis answered Saturday May 14 2005, 12:53 am: PLEASE stop doing that. NEVER Go out with some guy you meet online. Just... no. Don't. If you do, you're really child-ish and immature to do so. Never do such thing ever again.
karenR answered Saturday May 14 2005, 12:05 am: I think you should tell someone. Never meet anyone you meet on line alone. He could be a 50 yo pervert for all you know.You need to watch the news. I don't think you should meet him either. I think it is very dangerous. BUT, if you decide to do it anyway DO NOT GO ALONE!!! :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
MapleAdvice11 answered Friday May 13 2005, 11:57 pm: No never keep that a secret, since you don't know the guy I would let someone else know about it. Actually my real advice is to not meet him at all, it's too dangerous. It would be much better to go out with someone you have actually talked to face to face, but that's just me.

fall2pieces answered Friday May 13 2005, 11:02 pm: The internet is full of pedophiles, so be careful! You should tell your friends, friends tell each other things and in the long run, if they find out other than by you, they might get mad at you for not trusting them with your secrets and stuff. Hope I helped! [ fall2pieces's advice column | Ask fall2pieces A Question ]

fragileivory answered Friday May 13 2005, 10:00 pm: Well, first off how long have you known him? I want you to be careful, because you never know if someone is who they say they are. Does he live in your area? If he does and you want to meet, you definately need to tell friends because it's a must not to be alone when meeting someone off the internet.
But there is nothing wrong with it, in my opinion. Just keep in mind that if someone else offline comes along, don't let him stand in the way because it is no substitute to a real face-to-face relationship. [ fragileivory's advice column | Ask fragileivory A Question ]
truadvice answered Friday May 13 2005, 9:53 pm: what your doing is puting yourself in danger ... for all you know he could be a 40 something year old perv who lives with his mother ... this is how people get kidnapped ... someone says lets meet then the cops are looking for you ! This guy might be ok but i wouldnt trust him ... if you must see him go in a well lit area with lots of people ... tell your parents where your going !!! carry I.D.
