I've been talking to this guy I met online. He seems to be nice and all. He asked if we can meet somewhere in a public place. I'm not sure if I should do it or not.

I would say go for it if you feel like he is legit. But be careful. Do make sure it is a very public place and let others know where you're going and such. Meeting people off the internet has a bad stigma but it does not have to be a bad thing. I met my roommate/bf on the internet 3 years ago. We chatted for awhile, talked on the phone, used webcams. Then when we were ready, we met in person, in a very public place and hit it off. We became fast friends and soon started dating. He is now my best friend.
But like I said, be careful, not everyone online is legit and a lot are pervs. It's probably a good sign that he suggested to meet in public. Just go with your guts though.

Not trying to talk down here, but a lot of it has to do with your age and good common sense.
Anyone can portray themselves in a seductive or gentle manner over the internet. The danger of it though, is that person could be anyone and may have another agenda. Maybe he wants to follow you home (tail you unnoticed) or try to discover what school district you're in. Then he'd have all the time in the world to discover your household routine - when you are most likely to be alone, what path do you like to take on your way home, do you have any protective pets, etc.
I'm not trying to scare you, but you never know...is it worth the risk? Probably not.
If you can't seem to turn the offer down, then be as smart as you can about it. Meet the guy a good distance away from where you really live. Do your best not to give any details on your job, school, house, or last name. Go with a friend who can watch from a distance unnoticed. Make him earn your trust. Above all, make sure SOMEONE KNOWS about this just in case something happens...

this is a threat however. He ought to had somebody pose as a 19 close to previous in front of the cam or confirmed you a image of somebody this is nineteen. He ought to be older for all of us understand. i does no longer do it with the aid of how lots can bypass incorrect. I do like most of the comments left for you yet no longer those that say choose for it. I say think of approximately it. in case you do and that i can not give up you do what that one individual pronounced through having somebody to call once you do meet him and that i'm asserting sometime during and what you should tell him is which you have plans later with your pal later. i do no longer think of you should with the aid of fact it ought to be risky and that i understand you do no longer desire your mom and dad to rigidity. I only desire you secure. assembly human beings on line is mostly a threat despite in case you considered a image or on a cam element. it ought to continuously be somebody else to seize you. I only care.

Only if you meet them in a well-lit public place with lots of other people around.

it should be okay as long as you either bring friends... or you meet at a coffee shop or some place public.

I don't think you should meet him. I think that maybe you should just exchange numbers. Or you should set up a webcam and see them on your webcam so you at least know what they look like and see if their nice.
