I'm planning to someone i met from myspace. We're both of the same age, having same interests and all that... He has his pictures up and so do I. We've been constantly IM each other for more than 4 mnths now and finally decided to meet. Well our conversation is always about the usual stuff we did, our days and all that..... we did ask some personal questions at times but everything seems fine like any other ordinary conversation friends would chat about. i see no harm, really.. but with all these bad experiences i've heard from others, i'm doing lots of thinking about it...Do u think I should meet him? If so, please give me some advice.
Thanks.

Be very careful. I dont know how old you are but if youre younger than say 16 or 18 i would encourage you not to meet yet. If you really are dying to meet this guy because you think theres a possible relationship or friendship, make sure you tell youre parents you're thinkinga bout meeting this guy and see what they think. Talk to youre friends about it and get their opinion. It doesnt mention you talking to him on the phone yet, i would consider having conversations with him first before going from text to flesh!
If you do end up arranging to meet him, make sure its in a public place not at someones house or an area you are not familiar with. Make sure you tell someone where you are going and what time you will be home. It might sound ridiculous and over the top, but think about it fromt he view of youre parents or youre concerned friends.
I can honestly give you this advice. I met my boyfriend off the internet and knew him 9 months before we met. When we did meet we met in the City at Central trainstation. I can gratefully say it did all work out and we're STILL together and we love each other very much, but alot of people do have trouble and have had bad experiences.
Better to be safe than sorry.

I would say go for it. As others suggested do it in a public place. Since you guys have been talking for a few months now you may have an idea of something you both like. Maybe bowling, dancing, maybe a movie. A lot of people say that a movie is not a good first date but if you go watch a funny movie and then go for a quick bite to eat or out to coffee you can make small talk and touch on some surface things. Just a little get to know you. I think the first meeting should be something light-hearted. Don't get your hopes up but also don't get pessimistic! Good luck and I hope it all goes well!

If you are going to meet him, I'd go to a coffee shop or a public place like that. When I was meeting people i found online, I'd always bring a supportive GF along, or perhaps a double date! That way it doesn't seem as akward if things don't turn out as planned. Good luck. I hope ya'll have a great connection. Just be careful and don't meet some where that you don't feel safe and secure!

Ummm....I did the whole make a friend on the internet thing and it turned out ok, I would say though until you really know him and I mean not just through the im's but talking face to face in a very public place, don't let your guard down that this person maybe a psycho.

Depends how old are you. If under 18 i dont recomend it. To many teenagers are raped kidnapped and much more this way. If you over 18 just becareful meet in public place dont go back to his apt or to yours. Get to know them off the comp. I met my current bf on myspace we dated a month before i let him no were i live. but im also an adult! BECAREFUL.

you should only if u want to. If you trust the person that you should. I have met an amazing man off of myspace, talk everyday and i know several others who ahve. its all a personal preference and if you are trustworthy enough. always take your own car,and never be afraid to leave if it inst what u want

Go ahead and meet him - but be safe, meet him in a crowded public place, and make sure your friends or a family member knows when you were supposed to meet him and when you're supposed to be home (just in case he's a psycho).

What's the harm? Your a grown woman, who is asking us the people should you meet some dude. It doesnt matter either way. Your going to see him anyway.
