meet in public places (of your choice, not his). walk around malls, or go to dinners. don't get in his car, or be alone with him until you really give it alot of time to get to know him.

I used a dating site 3 years ago. I met a guy and we got on really well, seemed to have a lot in common and decided to meet. This was after we had been chatting for about 2 months.
We met in a fairly public place during daylight hours. It wasn't at all scary and we got on well. We have been married for a year and a half now so it does work!
That being said, you need to really be careful though, the most inportant thing is that you're going to be safe. Good luck, hope it goes well.

I have done this a couple of times and it was from good to wonderful. Of course, I'm an adult male and over 6'. Not a lot to worry about meeting a stranger.
You know the routine: Public place, set time period, third party if you're really nervous. After the first meeting, then you can talk about a casual "meeting" or date like you would with anyone else. The first contact is not really social, it is your "security" check - Does he look and act like what you have been lead to expect. If you approach it honestly that way, you'll be fine. Good luck.

I think he could be genuine. I am 23 and have wanted to take a couple girls out that i have chatted with online. I like the cute, classy girl that is never at bars so online, or a casual run in is the only way to get them. The girls that i did get to meet, were ones i eventually met in real life first though, so maybe suggest meeting up with some friends first, talking their then setting something up. Although there are genuine guys like me and maybe him, their are also some wierdos out there, so better to be safe first. hope that helps

you can. how long have you tow been talking? dos he live near you? if he is the age he says go otu to the movies with friends. thats what i did
i met a guy online. talked to him for 6 months(i was 16 at the time and knew abotu all the predators out there) so i talked to him. made him show me a pic of hi first b4 i sent him anything. we ended up meeting 6 months later after we met in an aim chatroom. and weve been dating for 2 years now (im 19 now) he was tlakign abotut he weather and it sounded similar to the area i was in so i imed him and we hit it off. lol
just make sure its not in a public place with a lot of people just incase something may go wrong. but if you two really want to meet then go for it! just stay safe! who knows it could turn into something more ! =D

If you think he is genuine, meet up with him in a very public place and keep it short... e.g. meet for coffee somewhere. If it is in a public place, no harm can happen. And make it short. Tell a friend what your doing.. say your meeting at 2, and you will be gone by 3 (Tell him you coffee from 2-3 so he knows you got somewhere to be after) and text her at 3 to let her know its all good. Just make sure someone knows where you are and what time your planning on leaving... its risky to meet up, but considering your age, do it, but make sure its in a public place. No him pick you up either! Meet at the place, and leave each other at that place.

I have met a few people off the internet and I've made some really good friends that way.My advice is just to meet on neutral territory,somewhere public and safe.And make sure someone knows where you are going,its always better to be safe.Good luck,I hope everything works out well for you

People act differently online.
Have you talked to him over the phone.
I would say leave it about 6 months to get a good idea of a person. Allways meet in public and never go anywhere alone.
i suggest a coffie shop or somewhere busy. Not a pub or Cinema.

Ive met people off the internet that i knew through other friends that hung out with them. But if you were to meet a COMPLETE stranger, thats just dangerous. Id advise you not to do this. Too many killings and rapes going on these days and im hoping you take my advice and sort of lay off this guy.

If he doesn't know what you look like then set up a date somewhere and go with a friend and sit on the other side of room and watch for a little while until you are comfortable enough to make contact. If it doesn't feel right then call him and tell him something came up and you couldn't make it , he'll never know the difference unless you tell him later.
