We added each other on facebook and he has a lot of friends so he looks pretty legit. He wants to meet up when he comes back from vacation.. but I'm kind of nervous. I mean we've skyped, and I've checked his facebook. But i'm still kind of nervous!Advice?!

be very careful, unfortunately we do live in a time of online predators and they are very clever people. I am not saying dont meet him but there is no need to rush and you need to be very clever yourself to. this is for your own safety.I have to say i met may partner of 2 yrs now online and I was very careful when we met and these are the rules i feel worked very well.1. meet in a public place, drive yourself there and do not let him drive you home. make sure you are not alone together.2. tell a friend where you are going and ask her to text you within an hour to check your ok, you must text back to say your fine, my said to my friend if anything was wrong or i was in trouble then I would simply text "i'm fine" but if everything was ok then I would say "all is good, dont worry about me" 3. if you can go on a double date then do so for the first time but if you follow the first two rules strictly then this isn't necessary.4. dont put yourself in a compromising position for a while, I would not be alone with my partner for 6 dates until i felt comfortable with him because you need to understand there isnt anyone who can vouch for this person.you need to be careful and be smart about this, it is important and you safety is the most important of all, if he pressures you into anything including just going round the corner for a quiet kiss on the first date then I would be suspicious.
