Should I meet this stranger off the internet?!?!


Question Posted Friday August 1 2008, 2:15 am

lawlz. okay, I met this guy when I was like 12 and playing an MMORPG FFXI, well ive known him for awhile now, and we just really talking talking in depth lately (as in the past month)...
Im 17 now, and im pretty positive that I am in love with this guy he's all I think about anymore.
but yea... he's 5 years older than me, and lives 8 hours away (in a different state) we might meet up at youmacon, ill have friends with me and all that but im just really nervous, im not a touchy person and he said hes gonna be all lovey dovey... Im a shy person, and as much as ill wanna open up, i think ill freak out when I meet him XD...and is this even a good idea?

yeah... you have to be careful. i mean, he might say he;'s five years older than you, but it can be a trick... considering you will have friends around, try to not stray from them.. about the him being lovey dovey thing, i wouldnt suggest it, because he might try to take advantage.. and lure you into other things.. he should respect you above all, not be all up on you, because although it's been a long time of knowing eacother, its the first time being up close, and he shouldnt be trying anything fishy.. it's not a bad idea because people do it all the time, but it's not the best idea either. just keep your friends close, seriously.. good luck

flirty :)

Okay I'm just going to say this:
He says he's five years older than you, which could be true...or not. He could really be some fifty-year-old pedophile. But of course, I am sure you've taken that into consideration...?
You say that you've known him for awhile now. I'm sorry to say however that you don't know him. It is so very easy to lie about yourself on the Internet. Even while gaming. But of course, I am sure you've also taken this into consideration...?

If you absolutely feel you must meet him in person, though I STRONGLY advise against it, then yes bring friends with you and meet in a crowded place with lots of people around.
And tell your parents. If you cannot tell your parents that you are planning to meet him, then do not meet him. Your parents need to know in case something goes wrong. If you can't tell them, then that's your inner voice telling you this isn't a good idea.

Good luck and be safe.
