okay, well, i met him over an online gaming site (runescape), i`m 14 and he`s 16. he has a myspace, he has msn, he has pictures of himself and he`s gone onto webcam. he seems like a normal person, he doesn`t spend loads of time on the computer, and he gets new pictures of himself everyonce in a while. first, is there a way to fake a webcam ? second, how would i be able to tell if he`s an online predator or not ? he says he loves me, and i feel like i love him. he doesn`t live anywhere near me though, i live in canada and he says he lives in the UK. please, just give me tips on how to tell if he`s an online predator or not. i can give more details if you add questions in your answers. thanks a lot.

we talk about lots of things, pretty much everything i guess you could say. he does sports so we talk about those. we talk about music a lot because we`re both pretty into it.
but also on his myspace, he has LOADS of friends. and they comment him and everything like they know him, and if he was just one person, he would have to make all those accounts and manage all of them and everything... and the lists and links just go on forever. don`t you think that would be a little hard to do ? unless he hacked the account or something. plus he says he goes away, for weeks at a time sometime. would an online predator do that ? or would he wanna talk to him "victims" as much as possible ? unless he hacked the account or something.

What's the point in all this? You're across the ocean from him. It's unlikely that the two of you will ever meet face to face, so if he's a predator he's wasting his time. You're 14... and I just bevt Canada has plenty of cute boys who would like to get to know you.

What do yall talk about ?
That will help me.
Edit: Ok I don't see that he is a predator but still be careful if you plan to meet him somewhere. I guess he's not a predator you just be careful when talking to him don't tell him too much info about you ok. sorry for acting like a mother my friend did the same thing and lets just say it didn't end the way she thought it would when she went to meet up with the guy she was talking to over the internet.

You cannot tell.
I could tell you that I am cute and aged 17.....how would you know the difference.
Actually, although I am cute, I am old enough to be your grandfather. Nor would I ever be a predator, but from this answer you cannoy tell if I am lying. I could easily post pictures of a young neighbour.
Just treat it as an interesting but pointless pastime....or drop it altogether.
PS Whereabouts in Canada do you live. How can we meet. What is your phone number (Do not answer any of those questions....but just seeing them makes the point, I hope)

Short of flying over to Canada I can't think of much else he could do to prove he is who he says he is. I can understand you don't want to waste your time with someone who turns out to be much older or creepy, but there is nothing in what you have said to suggest that he is, quite the opposite, so stop worrying and enjoy the relationship.
I'm having difficulty understanding the responses on here. He doesn't creep her out, he talks about normal stuff mainly music. They live so far apart, he wouldn't waste his time on someone he has little chance of meeting in real life if that was his attention. If she can't trust this guy who has lots of photos, a web cam, numerous other contacts whose comments about him she can read she might as well give up talking to anyone.

Lord of rings(Lotro)
Sauron himself has been breeding Uruk-hai for some time, but now it is said that a powerful ruler from lands to the southeast is also practicing the darkest of arts to bring these creatures to life. This new ruler is organizing the Uruk-hai into a fighting force to bring darkness and desolation to the peaceful lands of Middle-earth. No one wants to dwell on the nefarious purpose for which such a tyrant might be conducting such atrocities, but fear is sweeping the lands east of the Misty Mountains as these creatures hack and burn a path though village after village.
Uruk-hai have tough, dark skin, bodies of corded muscle, and incredible strength and stamina. Seeming to need no rest, they appear sustained instead by their intense hatred for all that is good in Middle-earth.

Helloo???? you're 14 for heavan's sake!! I think you have a little growing up to do before you go any further with this. The fact you asked this question online fto a bunchof potential predators indicates your level of maturity. By all means talk to him online but don't give out any info about yourself. If you're still talking to him in about 6 years them maybe think about taking a flight!

another thing--be careful with this 'love' thing. You're very young. I found out the hard way you can't 'love' someone you've never met. I was old enough to know better too. I confused love with infatuation. I think in order to love someone you have to meet, spend lots of time together face to face. Also I think for me to love someone you have to see their habits, their routine, their day-to-day things etc. You can't love a face on a screen, so be very careful.

You carnt tell sorry to say, if you want to meet him make sure you take lots of friends with you, He could be all right he might be on the level but you have to be careful. it long way for you to visits him with lots of friends, ask if he goes to scouts? or other groups or other thing and get in contact with them and ask if he is a member? got no more idea sorry

Be very careful ,please- dont trust anyone on the internet unless they have the padlock in the bottom right hand corner of their webpage! Seriously only meet him with your friends in tow-and in a very busy public place with cameras-then if he is full of sh*t you are going to be safe-16 could mean 26- be very careful-I warn my nieces about this all the time.

the web cam thing would be hard to fake because it is live, but he could have someone else get in front of it, he could also be sending pics that are not of himself.
do you think it is worth it him living so far away and you being so young?
