Nope, it's not wrong. But talk on the phone first and make sure he is who he says he is.
Check him out way before you meet.

Personally, I don't think it's wrong to make a friend on the internet. If you don't just run out and meet him somewhere. You could be getting yourself into a lot of trouble. I'm sure you have seen on the news where girls have been raped and even killed by someone they met on the internet! The majority of people lie on the internet and most of them are men. You have no way of knowing what is the truth and what is made up. This could be someone that the police are already monitoring, you have no way of knowing. Imagine all of the wonderful lies you could make up about yourself....and he wouldn't know that they were lies would he? Do you have his phone number and have called him? Do you know where he lives? Please don't do anything impulsive. You have a long life ahead of you and I'm sure a loving family who wouldn't want to see anything happen to you. For now, just keep it on the freindship level until you can get proof that what he is telling you is the truth. Good luck.

Dear, there's lots of things you need to consider here. I'm not trying to tell you what is right or wrong, but you do need to seriously think about this!!
Anyone you meet on the Internet has the potential to be a friend or something more, but people aren't always who they say they are. If you get along with him on here, that's great, but who said anything about "relationship" at this stage??
You need to verify their identity and if they are telling you the truth about things. There's nothing wrong with moving on to e-mail and then if that works fine, take the next step and talk on the phone.
But still, don't be giving out too much of your personal information until this person has shown you they can be trusted. You need to be careful and don't set yourself for a heartbreak or something else.
I think it's cool you met someone that you share interests with. But for goodness sakes girl, don't even be thinking about such a thing as "relationship" until you get to know who they really are first. Just take some time, slow your heart-rate down, and think about this with common sense.
Then if everything works out from that point, the potential feeling is still there, and your old enough to make your own choices on these things... go get em, Tiger!
But in the meantime - just please be careful. I wish I could tell you that everyone you meet here is being honest but that's just not the way our world is. I think there's already been plenty of answers posted here already to show you that.
I'm sure lots of people here (and in your own life) want to see you happy but we all need others to look out for us as well. =)

As long as he's not a serial murderer or rapist. Make sure it's not a guy that's actually over 60 years of age either. You can't always go by first impressions. Most people don't show their true side until 6 months to a year down the road. If he seems genuine, and normal, give it a go. I would only meet in person though in a public place the first few times; if it comes to that.

You definitely can control where you meet someone but you can't control the actions of that person. I think meeting someone online is no different than a hookup from a friend or meeting someone while you are out and about as long as you allow ample time to check one anothers "side affects" you should be OK. Good Luck

Don't fall for it. This could be a predator. You could meet him and stuff and he would rape you or kill you. There have been many cases of this all over the US. Even if he has showed you a picture of him, just break up with him cuz he could be a pure lie. Predators act like they have everything in common with you, so they get to the point where you give them everything like phone number and stuff so they can meet you and kill you.
Also, even if he shows u a pic. of him, it could be fake, like of one of the ppl he's killed or just something he found online.
I would not suggest this. Try using an online dating service like eharmony.com u get a free trial when u start!

No not necessarily. But you do need to be very careful. Way to many people on the Internet will say whatever they think you want to hear. Some are predators some are just immature. Don't imagine you would want a relationship with either type.

It all depends on how long you two have been talking and if you want just a friendship or relationship. Take it slow because going out with someone in "cyberland" never pans out and becomes a waste of time. Take it from me because I've been there and done that.

It's not if you're allowed to date. It would also be good if he lives near you. You can't chat online forever. You should get to know him more just to be sure. And no it's not so weird, it's what the internet is for:getting to know people more and making new friends (or boyfriends hehehe).

Have you met yet in person?! If not then yeah it is wrong. To truly know someone enough to get into a relationship, you have to see them in living color, girlfriend. People aren't always what they seem to be, especially if you haven't officially met, dude.
