is it ok to meet people online

I wouldn’t do it if I was you but if you have spoke to the person for a while make sure they show you a real picture first and if you do decide to go then go somewhere public and take a friend with you

If you meet - crowded place - NOT alone - be very cautious - do not go anywhere with them until proven legit - get a picture on the cell - stay safe !!

Webcams rock. Use it for proof…be careful…But yeah I’ve met my last 2 girls on the net…both lasted over a year one I am married to currently that was a bad idea but we are getting a divorce…heh life sucks huh?

If you want to meet someone online in person,tell them to send a REAL photo of them not someone else THEM,if your still having trust issues,have someone go with you to meet up with this person so you are protected if something unexpected happens.

I think it would be ok to meet someone in person that you have talked to online. It would seem weird for both of you. Just to be safe, take a friend with you. Or a really big dog.

I think that you should not too. I think that because people get rapped and robbed all the time when they meet people off the internet. Just think of how many people have disappeared over the years because of this. So I say no for sure because it is not worth getting hurt over.

no you never know who your talking to people like phedophiles reguarly talk to girls clamining to be someone there age saying they love you or complimenting you and then want to meet up so whenever you meet up with someone you dont know and have never met your risking meeting up with a dirty old phedophile that would be able to stalk you you really need to know the dangers of phedophiles and other horrible people on the net before you start talking to randoms or metting up with them and NEVER meet someone alone always bring a parent or at the very least a friend

If your planning on meeting a person from the internet in real life, be sure you know what they REALLY look like and make sure you set the meeting up and a PUBLIC place. Be sure you don’t go alone either. Take a friend/sibbling/parent with you… that way your safer. Also, if you don’t like how they’re acting they act weird/suspisious like they might be planning something get away from them. If something doesn’t feel right, chances are it’s not.

Be careful and be smart and you should be just fine.

So I was looin up on google the same thing and your question came up first( I had the same question!) I recently (a month ago) met someone and he is currently serving in iraq but we have been talking on the phone, web, and email. Just go with your gut feeling and if you know enough and its legit…do it. Who is to say there is a right or wrong way to meet people. were all different. Good luck

its ok but you absolutely have to have to beee careful . people online are not always who they say they are. the internet is a huge way sex predetors get in contact with kids or just people in general. I dont recomend meating someone especially by yourself just be careful and know what you are getting your self into. it can be dangerous.

did you know that more than 50,000 myspace profiles were deleted by the editors or myspace because they were REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS who were using there real names, so can you imagine how many are on myspace and other social websites who use fake names it just shows how many there are out there.

I don’t see anything wrong with it -

It can be scary in some situations but really you just have to take extra precautions, be mature enough to handle it, etc. My boyfriend and I were both having trouble meeting people before we met so we joined a dating site, that’s where him and I started talking. After talking on the computer, texting, phone, web camming, etc. we met up, I wouldn’t change it for the world. We met up at a populated place, coffee shop, so it was comfortable for the both of us and other people were around if something weird happened. We are now going on 6 months, renting a house together with a baby on the way.

He’s almost 25 and I’m almost 20.

it would be ok , but you should take a friend with you just to make sure :)
