Is internet dating safe?

I am 16 years old and I met this great guy on this website called espinthebottle.com We started emailing each other back and forth and than we started talking on the phone. 2 months ago,we became gf and bf...we've been trying to meet,but it hasn't happened yet. Now,he says this weeks he is coming down here to see me. I was so excited,but now that its' actually happened I am starting to feel a little nervous...any advice?

Is internet dating safe?
i don't think internet dating is very safe however some ppl would say different. you never know who that person really is and they could be playing games with you and then it all turns out bad.


However as you are already bf/gf and he's coming to meet you...make sure you meet him somewhere where there is alot of people around. if things go well and you want to invite him to your place, i would definitely have some friends come over too so you are not alone. don't trust anyone until you've personally known them for awhile and completey trust them, until then make sure someone is always around or at least let them know who you are out with and where you are going, etc. Better to be safe than sorry.


Good luck!
Reply:go with some friends and maybe a male friend and carry a cell phone.
Reply:First off, how old is this guy? And do you feel comfortable meeting with him by yourself? I would recommend you take someone with you (just to be safe). There are tons of pedophiles on the web that target young girls like you. Please make sure you take someone with you.
Reply:nervous...nah it's just adrenaline ....you have obviously gotten to know eachother quite a bit, once you get there it'll go smoothly and you'll feel more relaxed.
Reply:DONT. MEET. THAT. GUY.





If you want your life to be ruined, you can meet him if you want. Too many girls have fallen victim to this. Why don't you wait longer and talk to ur parents about this...
Reply:go see him.. but dont be alone..


bring somebody.. for a while.. and then


when you think 'ok' do a real date!!





gud luck!!
Reply:Until people have met and gone out (offline) together, they aren't dating. I have no issue with dating sites and people meeting that way before meeting offline to see if they 'click' as long as they use common sense and realize a lot of people online aren't who they pretend to be.





No, I don't think it wise for young people to use the net to meet strangers without their parents being 100% aware of the situation and all communication that is exchanged, and present if there ever is an offline meeting.
Reply:my best advice is to not do it. only because i've heard so many stories about perverts, molestors and rapists impersonate their kids, nefews and grandchildren to get young girls like you. Please be careful.
Reply:bring a whole bunch of girlfriends with you. you dont really know this guy. better be safe than sorry
Reply:make sure he is not over 18, and make sure your with some one you know when you meet him, just to be extra safe.
Reply:no dating is safe especially Internet dating.its like meeting a killer in the dark forest after he says I'm only gonna cut you a little.then he cuts your head off.oops that can and does happen all the time there are more crazy people then sane.why press your luck with creepy strangers.
Reply:you should never make a relationship commitment to someone you haven't met in person. by saying you are GF and BF, he now feels a sense of entitlement to you. you don't truly know a person until you meet face to face and have time to learn who they are. there is a huge amount of information you can learn about someone through non-verbal communication that will often times contradict what they are telling you.





do not meet this guy alone and only meet in a public place. you are still assuming you know this person but for all you know he could be a 45 year predator. the internet is about 90% molester/cheater/whore trash and young girls are the easiest prey.








make sure your parents know about this guy and in fact, have him come to your house and meet your parents. if he doesn't come, then he's probably been lying to you about himself or is some sort of predator. but seriously, don't meet this guy alone anywhere. if you have to, take some friends with you.
Reply:i think it's safe just not safe when you meet him cause he might be a lot older than you. you should go with a group of friends to meet him.
Reply:with how things are now and days, you'll want to be careful when you meet with him. you should be meeting him in a public place. in two months you became gf/bf, you may want to take it slower and see what happens when you meet. when i first met people online, i too was nervous and sometimes it doesn't click with that person and sometimes you end up with a friend for a long time. Either way, if you're careful how you meet and all, you'll be glad you did it. I met my now husband off of the internet 8 years ago last month and we are currently heading towards our 5th anniversary this year. GOOD LUCK and be safe!
Reply:say ur 18 he could be 30.


If you really wanna do this then..bring a friend.


I hate to see you on the news dead.
