Well, let's see... First of all, the person you are talking to obviously has problems, and is someone you should avoid in the future. I don't know if he is actually a child molester, but even if he isn't he has issues that you are better off not dealing with.
I am not a person who is so closeminded to think that just because an adult has a IM converstation with a minor they are a molester, I myself have come across younger people in different yahoo groups and forums and chattered with them about anime, manga or video games, and I am certainly not a molester, but at the same time I would never talk to an underage person (or any person for that matter) about drugs, or ask a teenager where they live. The world is full of a lot of really scary people, and the one you are currently talking to sounds like he could have the potential to be dangerous. Avoid him for now on.
In the future you should always be very careful when talking online to strangers. Never give out personal information to 'anyone' you meet online, no matter how old they tell you they are. And if you know for certain the person you meet online is older it might be better off just to avoid them all together. Sure some of them are just harmless friendly people, but you just never know.
Additionally, should you have problems avoiding this person in the future, you should consider changing your IM screenname. And you'll probably hate this idea, but just in case he is a molester, you might even consider telling him that you told your parents you were talking to him online and that they have asked you not to have contact with him anymore. That should scare him off, but if he writes you after that you need to report him to someone. Better to be safe.

sounds like it. he was "feeling" you out. getting a sense of what he's dealing with. they're not stupid you know. they won't just come straight out of the gate talking about sex. they know there are cyber cops out there. if this conversation would have carried on, he would have been offering you drugs and asking if you wanted to come by and get high. (good thing you live in different states, but, they will travel to satisfy their hunger for kids. for these types children are a delicacy). can't go into everything now, won't either. but this guy YES. he's cruising for some young boys. a grown man wouldn't be interested in or even having this conversation with a kid. most responsible adults would NOT chat with a kid about how great it is to do drugs.

I think you're most likely right, it dose appear that he was trying something wierd, it gave me the creeps; you should report the incedent to the authorities, and although you probably don't want to, you should tell your parents; ASAP!
Good job keeping your guard up kid. The next time some one gets weird like that, it would be best if you end the conversation right away, tell the authorities and your parants: always keep comunication with those people you know you can trust; make that a first: Do NOT include anyone you meet over the internet on that list, of trusted people, because you never know who your talking to.
You've started to do the right thing now finnish it and get that guy checked out. Keep your guard up kid, and yes don't ever give information over the net, and as soon as someone your talking to makes you feel uncomfortable stop talking to them.
The following is an excerpt from the FBI's Parent's Guide to Internet Safety
"While on-line computer exploration opens a world of possibilities for children, expanding their horizons and exposing them to different cultures and ways of life, they can be exposed to dangers as they hit the road exploring the information highway. There are individuals who attempt to sexually exploit children through the use of on-line services and the Internet. Some of these individuals gradually seduce their targets through the use of attention, affection, kindness, and even gifts. These individuals are often willing to devote considerable amounts of time, money, and energy in this process. They listen to and empathize with the problems of children. They will be aware of the latest music, hobbies, and interests of children. These individuals attempt to gradually lower children's inhibitions by slowly introducing sexual context and content into their conversations."
"There are other individuals, however, who immediately engage in sexually explicit conversation with children. Some offenders primarily collect and trade child-pornographic images, while others seek face-to-face meetings with children via on-line contacts. It is important for parents to understand that children can be indirectly victimized through conversation, i.e. "chat," as well as the transfer of sexually explicit information and material. Computer-sex offenders may also be evaluating children they come in contact with on-line for future face-to-face contact and direct victimization. Parents and children should remember that a computer-sex offender can be any age or sex the person does not have to fit the caricature of a dirty, unkempt, older man wearing a raincoat to be someone who could harm a child."
"Children, especially adolescents, are sometimes interested in and curious about sexuality and sexually explicit material. They may be moving away from the total control of parents and seeking to establish new relationships outside their family. Because they may be curious, children/adolescents sometimes use their on-line access to actively seek out such materials and individuals. Sex offenders targeting children will use and exploit these characteristics and needs. Some adolescent children may also be attracted to and lured by on-line offenders closer to their age who, although not technically child molesters, may be dangerous. Nevertheless, they have been seduced and manipulated by a clever offender and do not fully understand or recognize the potential danger of these contacts..."
"For further information, please contact your local FBI office or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678."

If you have a printer, I would print this up and take it to the local police station, maybe they could set up a sting operation, But do not chat with him without an adult there if they do decide to set one up.
