Tell this guy that you don't want to hang out with him. Local guys always ask me for my number or my address, and I refuse to give it to them. If you meet someone and you want to see them, go somewhere like the movies or the mall. And if people you directly where you live, give them known streets and that'll give them a better interpretation. Hope i helped :)

HyperactiveMiss answered Tuesday July 5 2005, 8:20 pm:
When I read this question...I was shocked. Really. Because I know people do some stupid things on the internet, but at least they have the common sense to at least not give their ADDRESS to a total stranger (No matter how "cute" they are). Please, remember next time, you shouldn't even give out personal information like your number, or zip code...ESPECIALLY important things like addresses!

DEFINITELY tell your parents. Because if the guy really did come, I don't think they'll be too happy and you won't be either (Imagine what he might do!).

I think maybe you should tell the guy you're going to move houses in the next few weeks or something. Make it believable, not something you made up because you accidentally gave him your address.

You should also eventually tell him you aren't interested in meeting people over the internet and your parents know about your internet activies and don't approve of it. That way he can get that you don't want a visit from him and your parents know about it. Then block the guy. Extra sercurity measure would be to get a security alarm or something. Never walk around by yourself (Although you probably shouldn't have before anyway).

This may be good that it happened because some people only learn after they have made a mistake. Just don't do the same mistake twice!

if he comes to your house, and you don't want him there..I highly suggest calling the police! there are so many things he could do to you and it'd be best if you didn't give him the chance to try anything. from now on, be careful of who you talk to and who you tell your personal info to! hope I helped! :D

sunkisst0716 answered Tuesday July 5 2005, 5:48 pm:
well first of all i dont think that you should have given out your address in the first place. you shouls have suggested meeting at a resturant or coffee shop. if he comes to your house get your parents to answer the door or something.

hope i could help!

you should never give out information on the internet and you always need to be thinking. just tell him that youd rather not hang out or just block him completely or tell him your parents dont want you talking to someone older

Talk to your parents, tell them you made a mistake withouut thinking about it first, and that you need their wisdom and their help. No, really, say it like that - they might be a little upset by what you did, but not nearly as much as if you say it that way (and sincerely).

Wow. If he woRRies you, I suggest just cut off all contact with this guy fRom heRe on out. I highly doubt he'll actually come to youR house, but ya neveR know.. theRe ARE fReaks in this woRld, so if you shoudl discoveR that he has.. phone the police.. immediately, because that would be veRy impolite of him... :)

stalkingroxy911 answered Tuesday July 5 2005, 4:44 pm:
if he comes to your house shoot him and tell the cops he was stealing something. just playing.
though that might work.....

but anyways why did you give your address to someone you dont know? wow you stupid, not trying to be mean just stateing the truth. now onw morning your going to wake up and he is going to be standing outside you window with a knife and he is going to kill you! or he is just some bored kid that wanted to search something on map quest. but im sure he is like some pervert that is really 50 and likes to watch little girls threw there windows. i would say tell him you are moving to a new state and give him some stupid address but make sure it comes up on map quest and so then he will think you live there insted. and make sure you dont let something like that happen agian!

Well this isnt good. The internet is so unsafe u never wanna give out information like that!!Im not critizing but he may say hes 18 and put in a hot picture and stuff and they could really be some like 60-year-old sex offender lesbian!!!Im sorry to scare you but this is really serious. I tihnk that you should tell your parents about this they would kno whats best to do. Also you could try saying that your boving but that might not work. Another thing, if all else fails go meet that guy see what hes really like, but bring soem big macho tough guy friends with you. I hope a helped a little. Sammerz

Well, this kind of a dangerous situation because you really don't know who this guy is at all. Even though you may think you have seen a picture of him, he could have even lied about that. I think the best thing for you to do would be to first sever all ties with the guy. I know that on My Space you can put people on a block list. Right? So try doing that. MAYBE just this suttle adjustment will give him the hint. Also, before you do this you may want to send him a note and say something along the lines of I really don't meet people from off the internet, and my parents wouldn't like that very much either. This way you might scare him because you mentioned your parents and you told him you aren't interested. Also, if you have been talking to him on any other Instant Messaging service, block him. And lastly, if you really feel you safety is at stake, or he makes contact with you again by creating new sns and such, tell your parents. They may be angry with you for giving out that information, they may even ground you from the net, but in a worse case senario, giving them that information could save your life. :)

gUeSsHoO278 answered Tuesday July 5 2005, 4:29 pm:
You definately shouldn't have given him your address or phone # no matter how long you had been talking to him...its REALLY dangerous. I don't really support internet friendships anyways.....its just more sensible and easier to make friends in real life but anyways...if he comes to your house..definately dont let him in cause thats crazy....maybe you could arrange a way for you to meet him in a public place with lots of other ppl around & lots of your friends around...as in a restuarant or something, but thats only if you HAVE TO MEET HIM. Otherwise I would let my parents know about it so they can protect you.
