what if you meet someone on line and you think you know everything about them, like they're age and what they look like and where they live, but in the end none of that stuff is true? how do you know if you're talking to someone you can trust and who will tell you the truth about themself? i always wonder if i'm sitting here chatting with some 40 year-old truck driver with an unhealthy obsession of hitting on teenage girls, instead of the nice and cute teenage guy he told me he is?! how am i supposed to know???? is it better to just not risk getting yourself tangled up in something you don't for real know anything about? or is it really worth it? someone please help me!! i dunno what i'm doing over here!!

The truth is you don't know so play it safe. I hear stories about guys who call porn lines and think the are talking to some goregous girl, but in reality she is fat and ugly. People can say anything on line. The proof are these 20/20 show, etc that keep chasing men pertending to be someone else talkinf smack to young kids. Don't take the chance. It is sooooo risky, very dangerous!

you can't really trust anybody, especially if you meet them online...i thought i could trust one of my best friends with a secret, but turns out, whatever i told her, she told everybody else :( i advise you to trust nobody...but if you think that this person is legit, then take the chance, but be careful, don't do anything stupid, if your going to meet this person, one on one, don't! Take friends/adults/anybody and be in a crowded area, this is what i tell all my friends who have/had a "boyrfriend" online. Do not give any of your personal info to the person until you meet them in person and know what they are truly like. Meet somehwere away from your house or your area, because the person might be able to track you to your home! well i hope this helps you! if you need more advice, email me or IM me! good luck

You see everything perfectly right. I don't do any chatting with anybody. Is my day off that's why you see me on line. But I have one Email address and I told the person I don't want any connection but I can drop some lines to support, teach, to be stronger in life, or totally funny story but she can't respond I say it so. Only one way communication, if you don't like it just spam my address, but so far 2 years.

You can't and will never know who your dealing with until you meet them face to face.Everything they told you about themselves could very well all be a lie.Try to remember that your just chatting,nothing more and don't get hooked into meeting who your talking to,and don't go see anyone you met on here as well.You are now playing a game that could cost you your life.Is that what you want?

Dont trust anyone on line unless uve met them in person before or if u know someone who has. I mean. its not worth it. I guess u might meet ur perfect guy on internet but think about it this way. If the perfect guy happens to be on line why would he be?
he would b take already!

It is better not to risk, specially if you are under age
if you are older, and he lives in your same city, you might arrange to meet in a public place, and even if he looks to be what he says, take it slow with a few real dates, before being alone with him

You don't,and if you think of taking that chance for gods sake tell as many people as you can what your doing,If hes real invite him out to a public place and tell you parents or friends to be there and make sure your OK,

never trust anyone online, that is the basis of getting involved in something you don't know about. heck, you can trust or not trust me, i don't care, i'm really a kind person and i love to help ppl, and right now the best thing to do is not to get emotionally attached to ppl you meet online, if you do that you may end up meeting them in person, and that could get hairy, unless you can view them through a webcam, do not trust them, even if they say they love you, if you know the person online and you HAVE MET THEM BEFORE IN YOUR LIFE IN PERSON, then its okay, but never get emotionally attached to someone you can't even view online.

i kinda know what ur goin through because i talk to someone online all the time fr the passed 2 years and we havent met yet, because i dont know f it is worth the risk. in my opinion...if a stranger asks u for personal info, i wouldnt tell them right away, ya know, because for all you know they can be some stalker or even worse, like ur parents on another computer just testing you! good luck
