I don't get why people love to bash Myspace so much. Yeah, there is a very real problem with online predators but sensationalist television specials aren't helping matters any.
My advice when meeting people on social networking sites is to be very careful. Keep in mind though, sometimes that cute guy is just that...a cute guy. A real person...just like you.
For every pervert and bot out there I think they are far outnumbered by nice genuine people.
My two ex-girlfriends met me via Myspace, and both of those relationships showed some serious promise.
I use the site to meet new friends and keep in touch with old ones.
But err on the side of caution. If something in your gut is telling you a situation is wrong or doesn't feel right, then get out of there, or don't go.
And if you're meeting someone for the first time, make it a group thing, even if they insist otherwise. A real person wouldn't be upset or object to such a thing.
Don't go to someone's house alone and never get into their car or whatever.
Use some common sense. Myspace can be dangerous, but it isn't all bad!

How old are you guys? If you're minors, haven't you seen that show "To Catch A Predator"? I'm sure you probably have. Have you not seen that one episode where the guy was an ex-cop and he had all sorts of contraband (guns, bombs, etc..) in his vehicle, so Lord knows what the guy could do.
You don't want to end up hurt. If you're very concerned for your friend's or your safety, which it seems like you are, you need to tell an adult. It's not wise to meet some random people in person that you met on the internet, especially ones you hardly know.
Your friend might feel betrayed, but any good friend would realize that you were only looking out for her well-being as well as your own and get over that fact.

The guy wants to do stuff?? Like what? Some people use myspace just for a quick hook up. You are right to be concerned for your friend. She doesn't know this guy at all. Hopefully she is meeting him in a public place, with alot of people around. She should bring friends. If they really hit it off, after a few group activities they can venture out on their own. But if they are both just looking for sex, she just may get it and never hear from him again.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to be mad here: why the hell do you want to hook up with someone from MySpace?? That place is predator city if you're not careful enough!! I hear on TV all the time about the hundreds of THOUSANDS of predators on that site being caught or HAVEN'T been caught yet! You know what you should do? TELL HER PARENTS! So WHAT if she's going to be mad at you for the longest time, but at least you know you're saving her life from a man-- or even a PREDATOR that might rape her, murder her-- you know the drill! Do SOMETHING to get her out of this. Tell her parents! No one in their right mind should meet someone from MySpace like that!
I'm sorry to go off like that, but this is how I feel. No one should be that stupid to meet someone on the internet like that; people have to be more careful, you know! I'm just being a concerned person here!

your friend sounds like an immature idot, do you know how many old freaks go on the internet to meet teenagers? to rape them then throw them in a river? I think you should deffinetly go & bring a couple of your friends in case something bad does happen...
