Bad idea.
There's some people you can trust on the internet, but I would never risk my chances. If you REALLY want to meet him, then begin talking with him on the phone. This might help to trust him a little better.

i'd say it's a bad idea... but if you really want to, when you meet, bring a friend or two just in case.
good luck!

BAD IDEA! Just don't do it. I'm sure you've heard of all the horror stories of girls meeting up with a guy she met online, who turns out to be a rapist or something. Sure he might be the guy he says he is, but what if he's not? Its super easy to lie over the internet. And plus there are plenty of cool and sweet guys that you can meet at school or whatever.

BAD BAD BAD idea....never meet someone in person that you've met off of the internet...that is so dangerous....you don't know if he's like some 40 year old guy just looking for sex or something like that!
Hope I helped

You should be careful. He could be a 45 year old sex offender for all you know. If you do meet him in person, have a friend or two there with you.

Meeting someone from online can very dangerous. If you do decide to, proceed with caution and make sure to protect yourself. I have met people from online, including my husband, but only after I was pretty sure they were who they said they were and always in a safe, public location to begin with.


First, talk to this person and make sure you really know them before meeting them. Ask him if you can see him on webcam. Try to make sure you're really talking to who you think you are before even thinking about setting up a meeting. There are some people online that pose as younger guys in order to get a younger girl.


Second, before you meet, get his name, address and phone number. Try to verify that this is his true information if you can. Call the number and ask for him. If he's in school, ask him which one. Then, call the school and verify that he's a student. Do the same thing if he works. Get a picture if possible. Leave this information with a trusted friend.


Third, set up the meeting for a public place where you feel comfortable. Meeting over a meal at a restaurant is usually a good idea. That way, if things don't seem right, you can get out of the situation safely. I would suggest staying with meeting in public places until you're fully sure that you can trust this person.


Fourth, pick someone you trust and tell them about the guy you're meeting. Give them his name, address, and phone number, as well as the location and time of the place you're meeting him at. Arrange for this person to call you at certain times during the meet to make sure okay. These calls give you an easy out if you don't feel comfortable or find that you're not as interested as you thought you were. Another option is to have this friend go with you.


Good luck.

bad idea. older men like to pose as younger guys to get with teenage girls. dont go meet up with him. always go out with people in person.

In my opinion.. it's a bad idea. This guy could be 50 and been in jail before. Could be a rapist, anything really. The internet is fake, anyone can lie just like that. So i'd be careful.

orphans answered Saturday December 3 2005, 7:42 am:
That's totally a bad idea! You don't know how old he really is. Do you watch the news at all? Almost all girls who do that either never come back or they get raped and abused! I'm not trying to scare you, but it' the truth! I personally don't think that meeting a guy online is a good idea at all. plz rate!!

Jarhead11789 answered Saturday December 3 2005, 2:20 am:
Very bad idea. Very very bad idea. Before you meet in person, spend much more time getting to know him. Talk to his friends, talk to his siblings, talk to his parents, talk on the phone, get pictures(multiple), get undeniable proof that he is exactly who he says he is before you even consider meeting him in person.

generarly a bad idea, almost always ends in an amber alert for you. id seriously advise against it. but if you must, you must, in which case take protection like pepper spray, because no matter how well you think you know the guy its still dangerous.
