I hope you realize that just because it is labeled as "christian," there is no guarentee that stalkers and liars are not there. It is still an internet chatroom, so do not give out ANY personal information at all!!! Take it as slow as possible, and do not send photos or encourage sex-talk. Guys do not generally develop feelings and attachments like girls do. They do like phone and internet sex-talk a lot and flirting and most are there for selfish reasons. Some creeps who are really old stinky men use someone else's picture and pose as a young attractive guy in order to lure a girl. I hope this is not your case, but please be cautious. It may be better to meet guys the old fashioned way! [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

People can easily trick you and make you think they're as young as you are when they could really be older. I know you were probably expecting that tip, but just keep it in mind, it'll keep you safer.
Online dating can work, so try not to let people tell you the opposite. It's a rare thing, but it can work. The biggest step you'll want to keep in mind is to get to know him a lot better before you go letting out your personal information. Keep getting to know him until at least you feel safe and secure with him knowing your private issues. It may be a Christian chatroom, but you just never know about who you're talking to.

The internet CAN be very dangerous,
I'm sure you know that.
Just make sure his picture is legit,
because a lot of people [paedophiles,pervs,etc]
use fake pictures of some guy, and etc to trick others into meeting them or something.
I dont think you can have feelings for someone over the internet, well I mean YES you can, but you cant really get to know somebody over the internet as good as you can in real life.
I'm not saying meet him, I highly dont suggest doing that, but yeah I guess what I would like to emphasize is be careful!!

You met this person online. How do you know if he's real or not? He could easily be taking those pictures form another person's site just to lure you in. Just be careful and if you do wish to meet him, have it in a public place iwth a lot of friends around.
But really, a lot of guys ask that for not reason. I mean they could be in a relationship themselves and yet ask that.
