idk what to do


Question Posted Wednesday May 18 2005, 6:10 pm

Hi, I have been talking to this guy online.....I really like him..he asked me out and I said yes. DOnt worry I have no intentions on meeting him anytime soon.But i dont know if I should tell my friends about him because they think talking to people online that you dont know is wrong..and i know they will probably get mad at me and think I am crazy.
What should I do??
Thanks

Wow. Well fiRst of all, I'm going to ask: what's the point of an online Relationship?? I mean, yesss.. I can COMPLETELY undeRstand how you may take a liking towaRds someone online, but why can't you simply leave it at that? Keep him as a good fRiend, and not a boyfRiend. What good is it if you can't not eveR actually physically BE WITH him! And anotheR thing, chances aRe this is not so, BUT did he absolutely 100% PROVE that he IS who the pictuRes aRe off!! TheRe's a chance that he veRy well MAY BE some 40 yeaR old man!! Ya neveR know!!! I suggest leaving this kid alone, oR at the veRy least, explaining to him why 'dating' is such a bad idea. Of couRse, I can not MAKE you do something.. so if you wish to caRRie on this Relationship that is totally youR peRogative. To answeR youR question: yes, I definitely Recommend telling a tRusted fRiend. Think of it this way: if she's tRuly youR fRiend, she won't ditch you, because you have an online boyfRiend. She may think it's stupid and dangeRous, but she most ceRtainly will not walk away fRom you foReveR. Also, you don't know what you *could be getting youRself into, so having a fRiend who is awaRe of the cuRRent situation would be good... OveRall, just please give this whole online dating thing some moRe thought! I wish you the best!

I know you must really like this guy and his personality, but any person online can act a certain way to acheive another's trust and gain access to their personal information, and trust me, there is pictures all over the internet. As in the other post, you must have said yes to have a boyfriend, but perhaps that is no the case. It is okay to have friend relationships online, but not romantic relationships. This 'guy' may even want your address and number so he can either steal from, kidnap, rape, kill, ect you. You may think you know everything about that person and trust them fully, but they can trick you and act so innocent. Just remember, keep only 'friends' online. Do not give out personal information such as your full name, address, number, location, ect, yeah, you get the picture. Well, that is my advice. I hoped it helped you.

listen if you've seen a picture or not it could be a foney it could be this sex offender out there and when you want to meet him and you go to he could kill you and rape you! when you finally are absoultly positive that he is real and what hes been telling you ia real then talk to your friends. does he live near you? cuz if he does get FRIENDS to go with you to meet him just incase he tries to pull anything you'll have your friends

Well I am going tell you the same thing. Your friends are right. IT is dangerous. And you agreed to go out with him because you want to have a boyfriend, that is understandable, but do you want to be dead. Only you can decide if you want to keep talking to this guy on line. But don't ever meet up with him. Don't ever meet him anywhere alone. If you meet with him you had better have all your friends with you, and if he had aproblem with that.....then don't agree to meet with him. Honey listen pedophiles an kidnappes know exactly what they are doing. They know how to pass themselves off as teenage boys. It is so easy. you know NOTHING about him, except that he says all the right things. Of course he does. Please don't risk it. DOn't tell him where you live, or anything about you.
Find out all you can about him, see if you have some common friends or neigbors? Ask those people about him. If he knows NO ONE that you know, then stay away. There are thousands of guys out there. You will meet someone some day. Don't be in such a hurry or it could ruin your life. THink of those girls who were kidnapped, or raped or killed. When they realized what was happening, they would have dond ANYTHING to go back and start over again. The first people they think about is their family. And how sorry they are. Please don't take this chance. You must be worried about it or you wouldn't be asking about it on this website. No one on this website should be telling you that it is OK for you to go meet up with some stranger that you met over the internet.

OMGOSH!!!! online relationships are REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY bad(most times)... unless you have seen a picture, have a friend who knows him, talked to him on the phone, etc the relationship won't last long. PLUS it SUCKS not being able to see him and spend time with him!!!

but if you REALLY like him... tell your friends... you will find out if they really are your friends are not... if they think its stupid and call you shit then you know that they aren't too great of friends... if they are concerned or if they are there for you then they ARE friends...

hope i helped!!
