Please dont put yourself in danger, you are ok now but these men are sneaky and will try and make you fall for them, they prey on young children like yourself. [ chakra's advice column | Ask chakra A Question ]

If I were you, I'd just stop with the txts, because you're absolutely right - HOW do you know he's really a 13 year old boy and not a 30 year old paedophile?
It's risky business. and whatever you do, don't meet him - especially on your own. If you do, it MUST be with an adult.
Also, I assume he knows quite a bit about you already, but do not give out any other personal details, such as your address, because if he's not who he says he is, he could easily track you down.
Scary, isn't it? [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

It is difficult when you've formed a relationship with a person by text message or over the internet and your bound to have some doubts and concerns.
We all hear a lot off horror stories but that's because its only the horror stories that get told - most people have good experiences.
The most important advice I can give you is if you do decide to meet up don’t go alone!
