I have been talking to a friend of a really good friend on the internet for the last 3 or 4 months and he is moving at the beginning of next year. He wants to meet me. I really want to, but I'm not sure I should because of all the internet hook-ups I hear about, men luring girls over the internet and kidnapping them when they meet. I completely trust my friend that introduced me to this guy, and he trusts this guy. I'm just not sure if I'd be setting myself up for something to go wrong. He is older than me, but only by about 4-5 years. He's really nice and he jokes around like all guys do, but he makes it clear that he's JUST joking. I'm confused. Any advice?

This is a hard question to answer without knowing your age.........firstly dont meet this guy on your own and do it in a public place and tell someone else where you are going....... yes there are a lot of horror stories about meeting people off the net... ive done it plenty of times and made some great friends and met my wonderful boyfriend..... no one has tried to cut me into pieces yet lol...... people are quick to voice the bad but not the good....... just be safe there are people who are the same online and in real life........ if when you meet he isnt how he makes out to be you will soon realise and have someone with you and be in a safe place

This really depends on a couple of things, it may only be 4-5 years, but it depends on when those years are, if he is 19-20 and your are 15-16, that is a huge difference in maturity. Don't meet him alone, only in social settings until you get to know him and if he is not willing to do this run!

You should meet him but there are several precautions that you can take to make sure that you're safe. Firstly meet at a public place, take your common friend with you (or someone else) but don't go alone and just hang out. Don't go anywhere secluded or where he can pull something funny on you so always be careful and you'll be fine. Also let your parents know what you're doing and where you're going, remember they love you and if they're not comfortable...you can invite him at your home and show him to them there.

your worries are legit proven correct. but there are still lots of guys in the net that are really ok. if ever you decide to meet him. go to a very public place. like the mall. where you can easilly call for help. or maybe bring along your friend. it's not wrong to be cautious. don't go to the movies, or even to a bar to have a drink. that's where all the scary stories happen. because there's the opportunity to do crazy stuff.

How does this friend know him? Over the internet? Has your friend ever met him? I am personally suspicious of meeting people over the internet for obvious reasons, especially if they are looking for a hook-up but; that's just me as there are people whom have had good experiences. Where's he moving? Toward you or away from you? Away from you-why waste your time, he's probably looking to get laid. Toward you, make him wait till he gets here. The age difference shouldn't matter much but; again, I wouldn't do it. If you do, please be cautious.

Yes, you should meet him if you want to. Things do happen, but it isn't very common. Just meet him in a public place (like a coffee shop) and then you can better use your judgement. Most of all, listen to your instincts at all times. If you don't feel safe, you probably are not safe and do something very quickly to fix that. Other than that, have fun.

Make ti a grope meeting. Take the friend that introduced you with his own date so you both feel comfortable .

YES why do you think hes so perfect? okay if a predator was luring you out, he would make himself seem like the typical guy. funny, great personality makes you smile and wonder who he is? come on stay away from stuff like that. its not smart at all. trust me my sister experienced that same thing. she me t this guy. fortunately she asked him his name before they met, and he told her. truns up he was on the online list of sexual predators. be careful, theres a lot of men doing that.

THERE NOTHING WRON WITH TALKING TO SOMEONE
IF YOU WANT TO MEET THIS PERSON JUST MAKE SURE
THAT YOU ARE WITH SOMEONE ELSE WHEN YOU MEET
HIM. FOR SAFETY REASON. THEN GO FROM THERE
IF HE ON THE UP AND UP IT SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM.
THE PERSON THAT INTRODUCED YOU, TAKE HIM WITH
YOU. IF YOU WANT TO MEET HIM.
