Question - (21 January 2008) 4 Answers - (Newest, 19 March 2008)
A female age 16-17, anonymous writes:

I had a bad experience after a one night stand went wrong and was in a depressive mood for weeks. I met a guy online and we started talking about all my worries and he really helped. He's been giving me realtionship councilling and confidence boosting when talking to other boys. The problem is, is that I think i am falling for him. He is interested in the same things I am, he's about my age and is friends with a mate of mine. I've never met him but feel like i really want to. What am I to do about this? Ignore my feelings, request a meeting or talk to him about it like it is someone else or another idea anyone has?

Please help

From what I've read, I believe it is safe. Especially if he knows a friend of yours, and if you really love him, go for it!

Approach with caution.The only problem on-line is you do not know that the person is who he says he is.He may be or he may be someone who is saying all the things you want to hear because he is 'grooming' you as they say.

I know this may be unfairly suspicious if he is genuine but is it worth risking?

Take your time and if you do meet him do not go alone.

Paula4u agony aunt1. Make sure you know what he looks like, get his phone number and where he lives. Do not meet up with anyone unless they are happy to identify themselves, ie. use webcam ask for an id card like a passport, a driving licence etc. Please be careful, a friend in need is rare but via the internet? Sorry about this doom and gloom but it's so easy to befriend some one and than in real life they are utter ... ahum snotters. Be careful and meet in a public place in the day time and make sure someone else (a friend, a parent) knows where you went to.
