he may not really be the age he says he is, for example he could be a 40 year old sex offender living with his mom. if he ever asks you to meet him just block him. im not saying that every guy you will ever meet on the net that likes you wants to rape you, like lots of adults seem to think. dont give him any info about where you live, it would surpise you how little a person needs to know to figure out where you live. you need to be cautious on the internet, but you dont need to be paranoid either.

The internet can seem a very safe place to find friends and it might seem very charming that this guy thinks you are pretty. However you need to realize that the internet is a place without names or faces. Even if he did send you a picture... how do you know it is really him? Go to yahoo images and type in 'teen' you will get thousands of images of teenagers that he can be using as his own. The main thing is to remember to keep yourself safe... don't give out your last name, address, or identification numbers. And if anyone ever gets creepy contact AIM or whichever messenger you are using and report it, block them, and make a new sn if you need to. Also remember a cyber relationship isn't a real relationship where you can hold hands or kiss, so don't get too 'involved' the best bet is to hang out with someone from school. Real beauty comes from the inside not the out and surely someone at your school really thinks you're beautiful. Don't let your low self image get in the way of a real relationship.

I think you should be careful of whom you speak to on the Internet and that you don't really know who you are talking to. There is no way of knowing if the pictures he sends you are even real. I would also say you should not wrap your self esteem up by what some guy thinks. Self esteem should come from within. Chances are you are being far too hard on yourself. Looks fade in time for all of us better to wrap yourself up in something else. Wouldn't you rather like yourself for what you think rather than what some person thinks? You can not ever make yourself happy by trying to gain it through the acceptance of other people. You will always be let down that way. 15 is an awkward age anyway, but I'm sure you are beautiful. But you won't think so until you truly see yourself for who you are. Something which often comes at a later age.

Well, first of all you are on the computer. You can't just start talking to some stranger and believe every word that he says. He might not be 16, maybe he's alot older and he's saying everything that you want ot here to get you out somewhere. You never know what can happen! You have to be very carefl about these types of things. I worry about young girls like you!
On the other hand maybe he does think your pretty. If you have low self asteem you can't expect someone else to like you if you dont like yourself. Cheer up about it. Look in the mirror and make a list of things that you like about yourself. If you do decide to meet this boy, amke sure EVERYONE knows about it. And make sure SomeOne is with you! Do not go alone! Please. I hope you will understand what I'm trying to get through to you.

How do you know he is really sixteen? It might hurt, but he could just be saying you are pretty to get you to like him (he might not be.) For all we know, honey, he could be a 45 year old perv on Myspace, with a good few girls on the go right now. You asked us this question, so you are ovbiously questioning this situation. If I were you, I'd dump him and find a cute guy in real life. Online dating is for adults.

be very very very careful with who you meet on the internet!!!! just talk and message each other, if he thinks your pretty great. but you do realize that a lot of woman dont think they are when they are actually very very beautiful! just please be careful, there are a lot of fake people on the internet, especially myspace. he might not be exactly who you think he is. from past experiences i know... lol my friends and i had a get together and invited people from myspace to come, nothing wrong with making new friends right?!?! well about 3 or 4 of the people we invited weren't exactly who they said.... or what their pictures seemed to say they were... so just be careful, thats all i'm saying.

If you like him, then chat with him, it can't really hurt if all you do is talk.
And even if you two like like each other, it is ok, as long as you know the procations (sp?) and all that.
I have 3 online friends, I used to have a online boyfriend, but things didn't work out, we're best friends still though.
And I know how happy it must make you feel that he says you're pretty when you think you're not. It feel great doesn't it? It almost feels like he is the only one in the world that understands you.
Good luck, and be safe ok? ^_^

First of all, you should not consider yourself plain or ugly. Second, you should not go out to find somebody else to make yourself feel pretty. Third, the worst place to find anybody for any reason is on the internet. There are too many perverts out there looking for young girls with less than great self-confidence. Please be careful and DO NOT MEET ANYBODY!!!!

You probably are plan looking or ugly and hes just trying to make you like him aswell etc.
The other day I got a message from a 30 year old, telling me that he thought I was beautiful and he wished that he could find someone like me his own age.. xD. End of talking with him.
Anyway, just try and avoid this guy. His intentions may be wrong.

You have to be very very careful when getting to know someone online! It's so easy to lie. It's not that you're not responsible when getting to know people, it's just that there are some bad people out there who think it's fun to take advantage of teens. That said, if you can find a guy online who thinks you're pretty, surely there is someone in real life who will too. If you would like to check it out, geocities.com/teenadviceonline is a great site for advice.
