Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT! seriously they could be an old dude and like want to rape you. NOT COOL! you probably shouldnt even be talking to him on myspace if you dont know him. listen to your mom (sry to say), shes right and dont meet up w/ him. not trying to be mean but you could get like kinapped or something bad could happen to you, it might now but theres always a slight possibility.

Alarm bells! Alarm bells!
You don't know who this guy is. No matter how genuine he seems, or how convinced you are that he is telling you the truth, the internet is like a big black balaclava. No, I'm not saying that you should never meet people from the internet. The danger is in how you meet them.
Never Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever meet somebody alone, or in a place where you can't be seen, heard, and helped by at least 20 people. What's more, never go alone, even if you are in a public place.
I have met 3 people from the internet, and all of them have been genuine. The most important thing you can do when you know somebody over the internet, and they want to meet you, or you want to meet them, is not trust them. It is the coldest thing I can imagine telling you, but it is true. Only by questioning people's truthfulness constantly, can you ever find out that they are lying to you. Often enough, I've found that bad people, the type who prey online will just stop talking to you, and block you as soon as you begin to question them. They know you're too intelligent to dupe into a dangerous situation, and you are a risk which could expose them. I suggest taking at least two (preferably male) friends to any meeting, and as before do it in a very public, very safe place.
Tell your mother, she is your best friend in this situation. If she doesn't understand, tell her about all the great advice you've been given ^.- If she really wouldn't understand, make sure you've told some very reliable people what you're going to be doing, and taken along a couple of your burliest friends. Instruct the people you've told where you're going to be to phone your mother, and the police if you don't contact them by a certain time, because it's your life, and your safety at risk.
Hope you meet the nicest, most genuine guy in the world...

Personally, I don't think so! Unless he goes to your school, maybe you have a mutual friend?

Well im just going to tell you that your mother may not agree with it and my mother didnt either...i am saying this because i know...i met this guy online and we started talking and i started to really like him and now hes my boyfreind....i have never met him though and i wont for a while because as much as I love him I still dont feel safe or comfortable meeting him...so what i suggest you do is talk to this myspace guy over e-mail or aim and use the phone too...but dont plan on meeting him just yet....first you must really trust him completly but if you really want to meet him dont go alone..ok??...go with a group of friends or sumthing..
hope i helped and good luck!

nah dont do it unless he is a friend of a friend or some shit, even if you have a picture of him it might not really be him.
]
Well the first thing is: DO you WANT to meet him???
if so heres the steps you should take in meeting him...
1)Get a froup of friends that you trust to go with you..
2)Meet in an open area where alot of people are...
3)Dont go anywhere alone and where alot of people arent
4)DOnt go to somewhere where it is dark

well first of all, its never good to meet someone online alone.. maybe you should get a group of friends and tell your mom that you are going to the mall and just all hang out together and tell him to describe what hes wearing, so you can spot him first so if hes disgustingly ugly, or old.. you can pretend like you never even showed up =) hope this helpss..
but if you do this.. DEFINANTLY go with a bunch of friends.. maybe include some guy friends just in case!

it might not be such a good idea because as youve been told, he could be anybody. he could be totally fake. if you wanted to meet him id say do it somewhere with a friend where theres a lot of people, like maybe a mall? id suppose it could still be very dangerous, and then what would you do if it turned out not to be him. maybe you really should discuss it with your mother, maybe wait a little longer.
]
Well if you met someone online... its not the safest idea to go out and meet them.... maybe you've watched all those movies on lifetime or heard from others what could happen... you might not know if the person is some 40 year old creep that is pretending to be some one that he might not be... you never know but if you have known this guy for a long time and you trust him and you've talked to him on the phone well then make sure you meet him in a public place like the mall with some friends because that might be one of the safest places to meet him.
well i hope i helped! if you have any more questions just feel free to ask!!
good luck!

no, you shouldn't. its dangerous =
<3 me and my friends ;)

No. Don't do it. You're just a kid. If you were an adult I'd say "Do it in a neutral, crowded place." But you're not, so definitely do NOT do it. Just block the guy or get a new myspace account. I had a friend who was raped by someone she met over the internet, so please for the love of Sirius Black, DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH HIM. Tell him you're not going to and that's that. If he persists, it's time to block him! And blocking people is a luxury only available on the internet.

DO NOT HANG OUT WITH HIM! I dont want to sound like your 7th grade health teacher talking about how people online can change their idenity, but its true. You dont know who the person really is. They can say they are a 17 year old male from Ontario, google a picture of an attractive 17 year old and pretend to be someone they arent. They can lure you in by observing how teens talk to each other on other my spaces etc. and kidnap you. Even if this person is really who they say they are it is sooo dangerous. Be smart and dont hang out with him!!! - Isabel

Absolutly not, never meet any person that you don't know or have met online.It is not safe.You know that he could be a rapest. Just take my advice and dont go.
]
Certainly not alone. He could very well be some old pervert in reality. I doubt your mother would agree either. If you absolutely have to meet him, either take mom with you or a whole group of friends. Meet in a public place during the daytime and don't be alone with the guy at all. I know it sound like you're ganging up on him ( and you kinda will be!) but you can't be to careful. :)
]
BIG NO NO, BIG NO NO you NEVER meet someone that you dont know online. They could be saying that they are a 17 year old football player, but a 36 year old reapist. This isn't a good idea and i WOULDNT DO IT. This is stuff that happens everyday. People being tricked into hanging out with people and then they are reaped and murdered. Im concerned for your safety PLEASE DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i did that once and it wasnt a good idea. see he was an online boy friend and boy was that a mistake and he tried hurting me. Not everyone is bad over the internet is bad. But dont take any chances. This world has too many people dead from meeting their online person/friend. Only because they have turned out to be bad.

get your friends and tell him to get his friends and go to the movies or something..plus just tell your mom ur going to the movies with your friends..its not like your lying..and just in case hes some sicko you'll have ur friends and all that
]
well it all depends. i can go if you wamt but you should never go alone. take a friend or someone you trust with you. it doesnt matter how much you talk to the guy because he can still be something he isnt you noe? i would tell you not to do it but if you want to you can just be careful.

Uhhh...not such a great idea. You should really figure out more about him first. Make sure you know him perfectly and you know you can trust him, and it won't be awkward when you're around him. Situations like that can end up very badl at times, but not a lot, just make sure you know him really well, and you know what to do if something goes wrong. But if i were you, I wouldn't. Just my opinion.
Hope I helped.

nooo thats why i dont go on myspace any more and tell everyone not to! sex offenders!! that is probably wut he is! u hear about it all of the time! "hes soooooo nice and would never do something like that" rite? so u decide to meet him and when you do, he kidnaps you, rapes you, etc. it is NOT safe with anyone you dont know!
]
it really depends. i mean if you talk to him aLOT and you really trust him, i would say its okay. just bring people with you, meet in a public place. it's really up to you -just remember it IS dangerous!
]
no its not. you never know what he'll do to you. sure, he may seem very kind and nice on line but in reality he maybe a kidnapper / muderer or he might even want to rape you. just please dont do it! i hope u end up making the right choice. good luck <33
]
No, probably not. You don't know who he really is and I wouldn't want you to get hurt! If you've ever seen the show Degrassi, you know what I mean. (because theres an episode about a girl meeting someone off the internet and then almost getting kidnapped) You can still talk to the guy though, obviously... Just don't give out personal information like your adress or anything. Good Luck. :)
Much Love, Johanna <33

Well you never realy know.Some people are that crazy that they might just do somthing and others just have common since.But if you watch the news when some people do that they end up getting raped or things like that.But if you realy wanna met that guy i sugest you take a group of friends(more then 1 friend)to be saft.And for your second qustion it is realy not a good idea.Be saft.
*Good luck*:)

hey its not a good idea but if you like him then go meet him but make sure you have a call fone w/ you and bring a friend w/
]
It's NOT a good idea to meet someone from the inernet. Not to freak you out but you can be anyone you want to be on the internet. The person could be like a rapist or something. You don't know. I wouldn't do it.
If you were meant to meet, you would've already.
]
Definately not! He could be some weird dude that is like 40 or someting. He could even be a she! I wouldn't do it and I hope that you don't either. Too many bad things could happen. Never meet someone off line.I hope I helped, and remember, my inbox is always open. Please rate.

WhetheR oR not it's "Good" to meet someone online is an opinion. I can tell you Right now that it *IS* a Risk. One that COULD end with the pRice of youR life; you just neveR know. I've met a couple people off line, and some of them had bRutal, disgusting intentions, so I do not Recommend it.... =/
