Online relationships?

Question

imet this guy online, he sounds like the perfect guy, but im not so sure hes what he says he is. Almost 2 perfect. What do u think i should do?

Answer 1

If you meet him in person just do it somewhere public .

Answer 2

It can go either way. If you don't trust him or the situation, then don't meet him until you do. Make sure your first meeting is in a place where there are lots of other people, or bring friends with you.

At least on the internet you can block someone who's really bugging you. Real life doesn't have that option.

I've met some really good friends on the net. I block all the jerks. Hardly anyone is exactly the way he/she represents himself; try to keep that in mind and keep your expectations low, so you won't be disappointed.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, "on-line" relationships can be a very bad idea. I'm not saying that some honest people don't hook up that way, just that you have to be "very careful".

Trust your instincts, if he seems "too perfect", he may just be. Don't give out any personal information (address, employer, etc.). If he wants to meet you then ask him for some information so you can "check him out". If he's honest and has good intentions, he will understand your concerns.

There are many web sites available where you can enter personal information and check someone out. Usually there is a small fee. Personally I wouldn't meet someone I wanted to "date" this way but lots of people do. You need to make sure you "protect" yourself if you do decide to meet him. He could just as easily turn out to be a "predator".

If you really want to meet him, then do it somewhere "public", after you check him out. I wish you good luck with whatever you decide.

Take things slow. He is a complete stranger! No matter what you feel, it doesn't erase the fact that who he really is would weigh more vs what you think you feel about him. Guys can be so deceiving so give yourselves time to get to know not only each other better, but in time, also his family and friends (no rush though!). At least if you know them, you will somehow have an idea of his background - which I think is important if you want to be somewhat more sure. I speak this way... even if I met my husband through the internet, while I was halfway across the globe, hah! Pure luck/destiny, I think. One in a million that you'd find the man of your dreams - in one stranger hehehehe

Answer 5

I personally don't trust any of that online dating crap. There are too many dangerous situations you could get yourself intout there. However, I've heard good stories and bad. But the bad ones are the ones that stick in my head. I can't tell you what to do, but I advise you to be careful.

Answer 6

You have to be careful especially if he is not from your city. If he lives nearby arrange to meet him for lunch in a busy public place and have all your questions ready to see if he is the real thing or a fake.

Answer 7

just be careful people who try to make themselves seem perfect are usually putting up a front just dont make any drastic moves meet him maybe in a public place first.... good luck

Answer 8

got money? look him up if you're really interested. input his information he's given you about his whereabouts and get a background check on him. he can find out all kinds of things on the web, where he works or if he's even employed at all. If you're really interested it's worth the trouble.

Answer 9

keep talking to him -- if he is genuine it will get better --- if he is not then you will pick up on it as well in time --- dont agree to a meet until you are more certain that he is perfect and not trying to fool you

Answer 10

Girl been there done that... just becareful yes some guys are not who they say they are but then again maybe this guy is telling you the truth. follow your gut feelings, they are always rgiht!
