u shouldnt meet up with him because well... im nt tryin to be mean or anything but he could be a pedo, and how do u know if he is lying or not u cant tell the truth and its much more safe if u find someone u know, and who u atleast trust and not some random person on a chatroom, cuz to my opinion its dangerous to meet someone age 18. And another thing he must of upset his old gf if he dumped her he must of done something to her, but its up to u if u wanna risk getting raped or something but i cant say i am definatly certin coz i cant tell the future.

reader, anonymous, writes (10 May 2006): Definitly do not go with this guy. I know at 13 years old I thought I was mature and knew everything, and even thought I was ''in love'' a couple times. Hey, I am 18 years old now and STILL am a bit naive, but I am telling you...if this guy says he doesn't care that your 13, that is a little awkward..I mean, I have a friend who is 16 but she is mature for her age, knew her since I was 12, and she is the only 16 year old I'll hang out with..the rest have to be at least 17 or 18 like me. Being friends with someone 5 years younger is one thing, but a relationship? Sorry, over the internet? It all is too typical, don't meet this guy! He is obviously way more experienced being in a relationship for 6 yrs? Girl, he's 18...wait til your that age if you really like him THAT much stay friends..over the internet! & don't give ANY more info on yourself.

Your young body will also be very desirable and he may find self control dificult. I know I would. You may experience a change in your feelings before you can legally indulge your body. I do not advise a meeting until you are sixteen at least.

reader, anonymous, writes (4 July 2005): Hey.. U realli shouldn't go out with him and meet him...He could be a dirty old man trying to play with you.. I mean it's obvious that the guy isn't serious!!! He hasn't met u.. and even asked u to marry him.. No guy would seriously wanna marry a girl who's actually 13 and haven't even met.. I think this guy is too desperate.. Such guys tend to have a lot of girlfriends and flirts around..I know that I may sound really rude but I've known girls who are hurt in this way.. Anyway.. If u wanna meet someone who'll love you so much.. Meet him face-to-face.. Cyber-space love is not real.. It's juz a fantasy.. I dun want u to be hurt.. so a strong piece of advice. Don't go out with this guy.. You just have to wait for a while and that guy of your dreams would appear right in front of you.. You'll meet him face-to-face and not in a chatroom.. So, juz wait for this guy and I really advice you not to believe in cyber-space relationship.. Coz all those I noe of.. they all turn up nasty..

A reader, Starr, writes (3 February 2005): Little girl are you crazy? You are only 13 years old there should be no 18 year old guy and especially no chat room.If I were you parent I would tear a whole in your a--. What is wrong with you this is why little girls like you are missing, dead, pregnant, and struggling in life because instead of trying to get an education their looking for rapists, murderers, molesters,and kidknappers. Don't you watch the news or even the Maury show?Girl wake up before it's too late!!

A reader, karen, writes (2 February 2005): Please take the advice of the warnings in the other answers, Dont ignore them.You say you told this man that you were 16 and your only 13, it was easy enough for you to lie about your age. So how can you be so absolutley sure that he is telling you the truth.Forget about this man and find someone your own age.

 Hi there,Please listen to your doubts.I know that this feels like real love to you because it's brand new, but I'm worried for your safety. Please take my advice: ****************DO NOT MEET HIM!****************You should break up with him as soon as possible, but that's less important than your immediate safety. Never, NEVER agree to meet this guy! Not at his house, not at yours and not somewhere else. Do not go to meet him, because he probably is NOT what he told you his is. You might feel sure that he's not lying, but people who prey on kids make a lifestyle out of telling believable lies. I'm sorry to tell you this, but the world is full of liars, cheats and evil people who want to take advantage of your innocence. You have no way to know whether this guy is 18, 29, 41 or 60. You don't know if he's just out of prison. You don't know what he looks like. You can't know what his intentions are.I don't want to say anything to hurt your feelings, but you have to understand that almost no adult men have true romantic feelings for girls your age. There's just too much difference in your age and experience. I sincerely doubt that this guy wants to marry you. What he really wants to do is take advantage of an inexperienced girl and he may actually want to hurt you. He is very likely a paedophile.Giving him your address was a really bad idea and could be a serious safety risk. This guy - remember, you don't know what he looks like or even if he gave you his real name - could be stalking you, with scary intentions.The best thing to do right now is to tell your parents that you've made a mistake. Tell them the truth, that you've been chatting to someone you don't know and now he wants to meet you and you're uneasy about it. I promise you that you won't get into trouble. Your parents will be worried and probably shocked, but they want to keep you safe from strangers and they need to know about this guy, in case he tries something dangerous.Tell your folks that you gave him your address, so they can alert the police if necessary.Whatever else you do, don't chat to him any more, and don't reply to his messages. Instead get to know boys your own age that you can see and talk to and get to know in person.You won't be miserable for the rest of your life. In a few weeks, if all goes well, you won't even give this guy a thought. But remember for next time: nothing is what it seems on the internet and people do tell lies.Please tell your parents about this Right Now.

reader, anonymous, writes (2 February 2005): Honey, you may feel like this will work for you and I know, at your age, I felt like an adult (and you may act that way), but this boy has a problem if he will date a 13-year-old at his age. Why doesn't he date someone his own age? No, you need to run away- and run fast.

A reader, Rose, writes (2 February 2005): First of all it's great that you found someone who you love and who you feel loves you too. If I were you though I would be worried about the age difference and the fact that he has just ended a long-term and serious relationship. Also consider the possibility that he has not been truthful about his age or other things. You are 13 and the fact that you told this man that and he still wants to meet you is worrisome. An 18 year old man, or any other man of legal age would back off out of respect for you and your age and just be friends until you are older. Please ask the advice of a teacher or school counselor that you trust before meeting this person. If you do decide to meet him go in the daylight to a well lit and very public place like a cafe or mall. Make sure that someone else knows where you are and when you will be back--even if it's just a friend. Do not keep this a secret from everyone and decide to meet or 'run away' with this man. This is how young women like you disappear or are seriously hurt. If you have any doubts at all you should follow your gut and break it off. Most importantly, be safe and take care of yourself, you are worth it.
