My 'online friend.'
16/F
So for the past 8 months I've been talking this guy on twitter. We used to roleplay as a fake couple. Well five months into talking with eachother I confessed I've grown feelings for him. He admitted the same to me. Then we started talking about real life stuff like our friends, family, school, and our past. Everyday we would talk about the most random things. Soon its been 6 months and we start saying "I love you." And I know the internet is never safe because you dont really see the person behind the screen and it could be some online predator but something felt right. I mean after seven months why hasn't he made a move if he is an "online predator?" He never asked me about my town or school or my last name. He straight up told me everything but never asked me once. So I told him everything and he put "Why did you tell me that? You didnt have to." sooo yeah. He always talks to me about school and homework and how he took his best friend to the dance for fun. And he always asks me to help with his math homework (lol) and I always do. I mean if this guy is a "predator" he's really good and sneaky and patient to meet me. I told my mom about this cause I thought she should know and she wasnt to happy about it. After everything I told her she is still uncertain..but I told Forest,the boy, that my mom knows and he did nothing...wouldn't he be scared and stop talking to me if he know my parents know?
I want to meet Forest cause its killing me inside, I live in Iowa and he lives in California. She says she will believe this when she meets him in real life and well I dont blame her. But how can I convince my mom to get us to meet him?
Sorry if this is long and makes no sense

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
Well what about you get to know him more, like using video chat, or make him send you a picture of himself, or like take his number and call each other, and get your mom involved too, like when you chat via video, maybe your mom could be there too, you know? And yes online relationships could be weird and scary, but sometimes they do actually work out. So I think you should take a risk and go forward with this relationship, and you should trust him, because you're right, it's been a long while now, and if he was going to do any pervert thing, he would've done it. But if you're like getting really serious, maybe he should tell his parents too, I mean, it was a really good thing that you told your mom, it means that you are not doing anything wrong or behind her back, but maybe he should tell his parents too, and maybe your parents and his parents could get to know each other, chat or talk on the phone or whatever, you know, just to even assure your mother, that if she talks to his parents, even if for one time, just so she could know that his parents are aware and its safe, you know.

To make sure he isnt an online old predator dude and he's who you think he is, ask him to tell you what he looks like (if he hasnt already) and then ask him to skype or ovoo or anything like that. mostly everyone has a webcam nowadays so if he rejects the idea, he may not be as trustworthy as you think. Good luck! and be safe

Hello,
Well, on the internet, anyone can be anybody. Its hard to know who you can trust. You have to be sure this is what you want. If it is, well, try to make contact but if you decided to make contact don't go aslone go with a friend just incase the person isnt whom they appear to be.
Bye.

I've dated online before only twice.
My personal experience, long distant relastionships especially ones from online didn't work out. But that's my experience, I'm just a bit clinggy and need that special someone closer to me. ANYWAYS!
I don't think he's an online predator from the way you discribe your online "relationship."
But there's always that slim chance so don't let your gaurd down. Atleast see if he has any pictures of himself and hope that they're really him and or that he really looks like that too. e_O" One of the guys I dated online looked really hot "online" but in person...yeah not so much. Lmao, but what ever he was sweet and sooo funny which made him sexy in my eyes (; lol. [Back to topic] You did good in telling your mom, with my online relationships I found it hard but I did tell my parents too they weren't happy. I just think that's an overall feeling. <_<"
Hehe, but I'd say meet him when you feel good and ready. Make sure to have your mom there or atleast close or a good friend or just someone that can spring into action if anything fishy starts to spur-up. O.o"
Public plays too...so yeah.
As so convincing your mom, just explain to her how you feel. All that mushy love feelings, tell her about it and make her see why you want to really meet him. I'm sure she'll agree aslong as she's present. Which is good!
So yeah, hope I helped. (:
