My daughter met a guy online 6 months ago. Now she is saying that she wants to meet him. She is flying to Georgia from California on spring break to meet this unknown person.
What does that say about her, he might be a predator, but if he is on the level, what does that say about her. She is 18 but her unknown man is younger than her.

It says that she is very nieve...and looking for trouble. That is a dangerous situation she is putting herself in. How does she really know that this guy is younger than her, and that he is not a sicko predator or a dirty old man? She is playing with her life! Tell her that she should not meet him. She is not in her own state, she out of her environment, alone and on his turf. He is holding all the cards. He could get her in a situation where she is alone with him and she may never be seen again...God Forbid. What she could do is ask for his true real name and have a background check done on him or go to the Police Dept. in your area and they will know in a few minutes whether this guy has a record or has been arrested on sexual charges. I would definitely do that. If he lies about his name, this guy is up to no good. Tell her, that if she insists on meeting him, she should suggest that he should come to Georgia and she should meet in the daytime, in a restaurant and she should bring along a girlfriend. If he refuses then this guy is a liar and a predator. Also carry a cellphone with her at all times and keep contact with you, but under no circumstances should your daughter meet this guy in California....Absolutely crazy.

18 is way too young to meet anyone online and fly to another state to meet them. MySpace, Facebook, and Friendster all are the new forms of networking tools out there where the name, picture and profile are displayed (without verification of identity). I would say an 18 yr old girl who is willing to fly to another state to meet a younger guy is either A- Infatuated with the guy's looks based on the picture or B- amazed by the "nice-ness" of the guy and likes the attention that she doesn't seem to get from other guys.
I would advise her to stay away...

Some times these things can actually work. A guy I know met an American girl online and they're together now (he lives here in Ireland and she lives in the states) and madly in love! Maybe this guy and your daughter are meant to be. I dont think it says anything negative about your daughter, maybe she trusts a little too easy and in this day and ages that can be sometimes dangerous. Let her make her own decision on this one otherwise she'll resent you but tell her how careful she needs to be. Like meeting him in a busy place and stuff!!

Well, although your predator idea is something to think over, she is eighteen, and it is her own resonsibility she must look out for. Flying across the country to go meet a person sounds suspicious, and she may either be in love or under a trance of a predator. It seems that your daughter may be seeing a false emotion for him, but it is better to keep watch over her as she makes her journey; ie, calling her after her flight gets in, checking in with her one or two times a day.

You have no idea who this person is and neither does she. He could be a sexual predator (like you said) for all you know. This means that you being the father needs to take charge of your daughter and this situation. This is where you need to put your foot down!

WOW...Go online and check him out. Get his name, address and phone numer and his social sercurity number if he'll give you that. There are sites that can give you information.,like if he ever got a ticket, is a felon,,,did jail time ...married..children....you do it though..not your daughter.....if he is on the up and up he will gladly give you all the information (maybe not the social sercurity number, which is ok) and your daughter? She should NOT be mad....she should think i t is ok too..if not she knows or has a bad feeling about him and should stay home....and if he won't give the information or gives you a hard time she whould stay home....I do online dating and go online and check them out first...the ones who get mad or won't give me the info I don't meet...for it means they are not serious about being a friend to me....say a prayer if she goes, either way...can't hurt!

it says that she is flying out to meet a minor. that makes her the predator. you are correct about her not knowing who she is going to meet. the guy could be a serial killer for all you know. try to talk her out of this trip.

One of two:
Either stop her, or go with her.
Don't let her go on her own. Online is where most of the freaks out there play their game.
I don't mean to scare you or anything, but even though this guy could be the best thing that happened to your girl, but he could also the total oppossite.

This says that she is so desperate that she would fly across the country to meet some random dude, when there are plenty of beautiful guys in california.
What a loser!
