A girl i know is talking to some random guy she met on the internet. he seems by how she talks aboutt him.....
pretty schetchy. but she says that shes "in love" with this guy whenn she's neverr met him beforee. and she said taht he said over myspace or whateverr when he turns 18 (he's 17 now) taht he's going to fly to her state and meet her....
i want to convince her taht this is a really bad idea cuz for all she and i know he could be some creepy 50 year old.
so what should i tell her?

Alright its hard to talk them out of it but keep trying what u already are, and if she doesnt listen to you make some plan that you two can agree on like bringing some friends with you and her when she meets the guy (bring a buff male too) but bring people to meet him too, to make sure and everything and that is about the only safe way to meet em, carry a tazer if ur that worried too, sounds kinda funny but my friend met a guy like that and she brought a tazer and used it! But seriously bring your friends to meet the guy with ur friend ok

"cuz for all she and i know he could be some creepy 50 year old"....
well, for all you know he could be a really nice teenage boy too, right?
Obviously they are taking it slow, since it's the internet and all, so I would say just let it run it's course. If they decide to meet, just be smart about it and meet in a public place, with friends, etc....
Everyone is a random person when you first meet them. You have to be careful these days no matter how ya meet really. So, just take precautions, but don't go overboard with it.
and coco...no, she doesn't lol...if you lok at her profile you can see that every question she has ever asked is repeated at least twice lol....tff

You are so right. Internet scams are scary and this guy could absolutely be a creep. If she does plan on meeting this guy, she should make sure that maybe someone goes with her or is nearby to ensure that this guy is not a crazy and that it is a public place. It could be a nice guy, but you never know these days. Beter safe than sorry. You are a good friend for worrying about her. Make sure she is careful with this! :) One of my husband's friends fell victim to a scam and lost over 300000 dollars. The internet is not a safe place, be careful.

Tell her she's playing with fire. If she doesn't listen, TELL HER PARENTS. If something happened to her, you might live with that hanging over your head about keeping this a secret from her mom and dad. She might hate you at first, but in the long run SHE WILL realize that was all in her best interest.
And it shows you care deeply as a friend.
If her parents already know, then make sure someone will be with her when she meets this guy. Don't let her go alone.

Your friend could easily disappear off the face of the earth, never to be heard from again. Don't let her go.
Man... you need to talk to her parents and have them talk to the cops. The parents can get a tandem program that allows them to watch what she is doing on-line from another computer. They really need that now.
Or you can talk to the cops directly... most towns have a task force to deal with these predators.
MSNBC has been running a program where they log onto chatrooms and invite these creeps to a house to meet a pretty girl for sex... and they invariably get arrested!

I have seen this stuff all the time. And it never turns out good. Plz tell her the truth. I don't want to see anybody get hurt no matter who they are. And i don't even know you two. So you should probably know that I'm serious or whatever. But anyway, if I were you I would help her out on putting the guy down. No one should do dating on the interrnet. It is never accurate. I don't even trust eharmony.

Tell her to watch Dateline NBC when they do the to catch a predator series. Online anyone can be 17. Also, consider telling her parents about her online activities.

tell her the truth about how you feel. Tell her you have been friends for a long time and dont want anything bad to her. Maybe introduce her to someone locale, go out and have some fun to take her mind off of it

You need to be open and straight forward with her, she needs to realize how dangerous that the internet can really be. If she wont listen then maybe try talking to her family about it, atleast they will know whats going on and can maybe watch out for her.
