I gave my phone number to an on line acquaintance, he initially said he was 18, then admitted to be much older and asked for a date in matter of days. Should I keep this "friendship" ?

Okay, so we were chatting in a chatroom and I am right now fifteen.

I ended up giving out my phone number to this guy who said who was eighteen.

We did have good conversations for a while and then today he admitted that

he's actually 25!!!

And he says he likes me and actually asked me out... but I think this guy is just another creep so I said no.

He accepted but kept trying to make me like him... and said I will wait for you whenever.

I only wanted to be friends with him.

And he was like "I know I'm crazy to be falling in love with someone like you".

I think he's a psycho and is after me.

Or am I just paranoid? He seems like a nice guy, and I WAS falling in love with him until now...

(well since he lied about his age)

but it's over the internet and we've only been talking for a few days.

Should I keep up with this "friendship" until I am old enough to date ?

confusedaboutsolittle agony auntOkay hun. The answer is "No".

I've had that happen... The guy said he was 27 and even that is a little too old for me. Then his neice told me he was 36. I forgave him but then he kept forceing me to do things, and he stopped being my friend, because I wouldn't have sex with him. Please don't. Just let it go.

No. Do not talk to him anymore. And do NOT give your number out in chatrooms anymore. Be safe.

rcn agony auntIt depends on if he makes any contact once you tell him not too. If he does notify the authorities and have your parents change the phone number.

But I can't really do anything about the phone number, right? Or should I report it to the authorities?

rcn agony auntI think you shouldn't keep the friendship at all. First he's too old for you. Only talking for a few days, falling in love does show some psychotic or dependency type behaviors you'll want to stay away from. Even if you were old enough to date, he lied about his age which shows just how easy it is for him to be untruthful, what else would he lie about and not really care if it affected you or not. This person sounds like a bad one to get involved with, even as friends.

kenny agony auntThis is the problem of chatting to people over the internet, we never actually know who we are talking to. People can dress themselves up to be anything thay want to be, for instance, an overweight 45 year old man who has seen better days, could say he was a fit good looking 20 year old who goes to the gym everyday, do you get my point?.

I think you should drop this guy with immediate effect, there is something wrong with a 25 year old man chasing a 15 year old girl, and that is if if he is 25, he could be 45. For you own saftey don't talk to him anymore, and maybe tell your parents about it also.

All the best, and stay safe x
