    well i've been talking to this guy for a while and we both seem to like each other. the thing is i've never met him before, but we have so much in common. and i know about all the internet weirdos out there and it's so easy to be someone else because of that. i have no idea what to do about it. we're both heading to college next year and plan on meeting up then.

    but until then i have no idea what to believe. my friends say go with it because there'll be a group of us, but i still don't know.

    any advice??

    the most important thing is to stay safe.

    Tell friends where you are going, have them on alert for texts and keep them updated. Find out his full name etc etc

    Do something that gives you a get out clause, such as lunch.

    Go with it, have fun and stay safe :)

    I'd say go with it but the truth of the matter is that you don't sound comfortable with it. What's holding you back?

    If unsure, meet him in a public place, on your home turf, with friends within sight. If he says to meet somewhere in the backarse of nowhere, don't if you're uneasy about it.

    This is the best advice anyone could give you OP. I would try it.

    If you're worried about safety, then meet up somewhere public. There, problem solved.

    If you're worried that you won't like him when you finally do see him in real life, well, that's a risk you'll have to take. Of course people are different in person to what they're like online, but still, chances are you'll still get on with him.
    Do it, you've got nothing to lose etc.
