We both later found out eachothers real ages, he's 31 this year, im 17 this year. We get on pretty well and think we have pretty strong feelings for eachother. We both know the age gap is likely to be seen as disguisting by some people but its not intentional. You cant help who you fall for.He wants to meet me, i havent yet as i was cautious at first because you know all the stuff you hear about internet groomers.I dont wanna meet him though and lead him on if i dont decide i want a relationship. I do wanna be with him i just have a few worries how my parents would react and what people would think. People always tell me i shouldnt care what others think, but i cant help it.advise? preferably from someone in a similar situation.

 My boyfriend is twice my age and I met him over the internet. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. Just be careful and make sure he's a good guy.

 You never REALLY know who you are talking to on the internet.
Could be a rapist, serial killer, etc.
My neighbor (a woman) used to portray herself as a 30yr old, and in reality, she was 67. But she had several 'boyfriends' that she kept in contact with and strung along for years. It was hilarious!
Do you want to meet someone that you have been chatting with on the internet. I wouldn't recommend it, honey. I could be VERY dangerous. But, if you do, do it in a very public place, and take a friend along. Meet in a restaurant for lunch or dinner, as a group.
Good Luck and be SAFE!

I used to chat with guys on the internet a lot myself. I consider myself to be a realistic person, I was just passing time when I chatted online. Until I met someone who I really started to like. I liked him so much that if he wasn't online, I'd get upset..That was not like me at all. We talked on the phone. He was from Romania & he had an awesome accent. He knew all the right things to say..I thought we had so much in common. Long story short, I chatted with him for a long time (over a year) & although I wanted to meet him, I never did..I liked what we had & I was afraid to ruin it. He got tired of waiting to meet me, and figuring that he never would, he started doing weird things..like 1 day he & I were chatting and he turned his webcam on, a girl came over his house, and he proceeded to have sex with her right in front of the hidden camera, so I would see it. I also learned that when he lived in Europe, he had sex with hundreds of people, and that he was a sex addict, and he often called on prostitutes. When I first started chatting to him, he told me he was looking for a wife so he could start a family. In reality, he was just trolling the intenet for sex. I made a fake profile of an attractive girl, and he threw the same lines at this made up girl that he did to me. I honestly thought that he liked me a lot, that I was special. You got to wonder why he lied to you about his age, and what else he could be lieing about. You also have to wonder why a 31 year old male is trolling the internet & is interested in a 17 year old girl. Shows a lack of morale on his behalf, and I think you're better not to meet him. Try the fake profile thing, and see if he's just as interested in the new girl as he is in you.
