If you are a minor, tell him that you will meet him at a public place like a restaurant WITH YOUR PARENTS. If he means you no harm, then he will agree to that and then do so WITH YOUR PARENTS.
If you are not a minor, DO NOT GO ALONE. Meet in a very public place with a friend and DO NOT be persuaded to leave the very well lit public place under any circumstances.
I am sorry to say that there are many predators and just very strange people out there who at the very least will sexually abuse you and at the very worse torture and kill you. It is very, very risky to meet with someone from on line.
I would strongly advise against it, but if you must take every precaution you can think of and if they mean you no harm they will not have any objections. It's the ones that have an ulterior motive that will whine, threaten, plead, beg, weasel. embarrass or finagle you into meeting them alone. DON'T DO IT. No one ever thinks it will happen to them, but it does.
Think twice, then think again if it's worth it.

Always a risk meeting strangers from the net. Arrange to meet with a crowd of people/friends, and stay with them. You can't be too careful in a situation that is as risky as this. As a rule, just not a good idea as you never know what type of person you are dealing with based on an internet persona.

NO! please never ever meet anyone on the internet in person! either block him/ refuse to meet him or if he persists in stalking you report him to the authorities! People who want to meet you from over the internet are usually older men looking to rape/kill/kidnap you! Don't be foolish, Do not meet him!
Dont listen to people here saying be careful, or take an adult or friends with you (You can put THEM in danger) - it is not worth it, or meet in a crowded place/ there are worse things that can happen than you being taken on the spot, he could find out more about you and his intentions may not be good - STAY AWAY FULL STOP. If he was a real person with real friends and a real life he would not be interested in actually MEETING PEOPLE. He most likely has a criminal agenda you cannot take chances with your life.

It depends. How old are you, and how old is he?
It is a good general rule, if you are over 18, to meet internet friends in a public place, with another friend of yours tagging along for safety's sake.
If you are under 18, you absolutely should not meet them alone or unescorted. And if they are way older than you, blow them off if they pressure you too much to meet them.
It is always better to err on the side of caution. Just hit ignore on your chat list if they are persistently asking you to meet them. There are too many predators on the net, so learn to be careful. You don't want to be the next tragic story on the news, do ya?

Depends... How old are you? If you are over 18, I think it is fine as long as you meet the first couple times in a very public place.Do not allow him to talk you into going anywhere that is not highly populated. It could be trouble. As much as you may trust this person, you just never know. Make sure someone (a family member or friend) knows where you are going and how long you expect to be gone. If you are gone longer.. call them and let them know.
Be careful.

Be careful. If you are going to meet him make sure that you are in a public places with people around you. Never met him in your house or hotel. Too dangerous nowadays to be alone with a stranger that you do not know. Or take a friend with you that might help.

from my point of view, not that i do not think it is a dangerous but i met my now husband on the internet. you have to be careful in where you meet him. i met my husband at a mall, and that was after talking to him for a while over the phone. meet in a public place, do not go any where private with him until you think you can trust him, and just listen to your heart.. you will make the right decision.... be careful!!!

Just be very careful!! Don't assume you know him well; just because you have talked to him on-line! There are still things you need to know about him! Tell him the guidelines before you actually meet; so he'll understand where you are coming from! Good luck, girl!!
