Net Buddies.
Okay,so it's another one of those 'internet friends' kinda things.
I was just wondering if there's any sure fire way to know if someone's real over the internet? I've known the person I'm talking to for nearly two years, and I ended up talking to them first, as in I emailed her about something off of a different website. (Sims)
I've talked to her on the phone before, but I'm not sure what to think.
So is there any way I'd be able to find out if this person's real or not (I've tried white pages, can't use that since she's too young).
Thanks for any help. =)

One way is to use a webcam. I know that someone I talked with online for over a year always got on their cam mostly to show his unique dish he just made..which I must say were..interesting. Haha anywhos. Ask her to get a cam although that's kinda hard. Pictures are somewhat reliable. I mean she could just take them off the net but it's hard to find pictures with the same consistency if she is required to send a lot of them.
Best things:
Webcams
See her in person
Haha but webcams are somewhat expensive and her parents are uptight, then it'd be hard to obtain one

The only possible thing that could help you is if you and her both have a web cam. If you don't know what it is, it's this little device that allows you to see the person you're meeting up in the internet, If you have MSN or AIM, you can do it.
You can get one at an Apple store. But of course, she has to have one too.
Hope that helps

Ever asked to see her on webcam?
A lot of the time people who are lying to you will refuse to let you see them.
You can't be too sure that anyone online is legit. All I can tell you is not to put your trust out there completely and keep extremely personal information to yourself.
