omg, i know this might sound weird, but i think im falling for a guy who ive never met in person!! i met him online, and ive seen how he looks and he knows how i look, he is sooo HOT too! We LOVE talking to eachother, if we dont talk everyday we miss eachother sooo much. I've never felt this way towards someone online and i just cant stop thinking about him, he lives so far away though in Georgia. We talk about meeting one day! maybe soon! (and no he's no online pervert or anything) and yeah i'd love to meet up with him, hes great and we always talk about how cool it would be to meet up and actually be with eachother for real....but i dont know...what if he doesnt like me as much in person? has this ever happened to any of u? do u think we should meet up? do u think he likes me as much as i like him? its crazy but im so curious of what else it can lead to, maybe something more! please, feel free to express urselves!

haha that's crazy. i met my boyfriend of 3 years online 4 years ago. he lived three states away and (added bonus) was 4 years older than me. but the way you that you described your feelings towards each other, sounds a lot like us. There's a few things that I'd definately consider first though. The first one, is make sure your parents know what's going on. Mine FREAKED OUT at first, but after they sat back and saw how much we really did like each other, they were supportive. it made it so much easier to see him. I even let him talk to both of my parents a couple nights. Also, know that in person, people are different. There's tons of things that I didn't anticipate about my boyfriend, his silly little quirks. Some are awesome, and some annoy me. The last one, is make sure that there is absolutely nothing about him that makes you uneasy. I know you said he's not an online pervert, but if there's any little red flags, don't ignore them. But, I'm living proof that crazy things from online can work in the "real" world. 3 years ater, we're stll together, he's moved to my city, and we're probably gonna end up married haha. So good luck, i hope everything works out for you.

ok i have definetly been in your position! i met a guy, very cute and sweet! but we met at the movies and he didnt look anything like his picture and not to be like shallow but i would definetley not meet him again, it just seemed like he lied, his picture didnt look anything like him and he seemed rude, it was like his sister was trying to hook him up with someone so she did all the talking. i told him i wanted to be friends and he is not leaving me alone, we are still friends but it is annoying....so be careful!

Don't get offended or anything but I just wanted to make sure that if you did decide to meet him you took proper safety prrecautions... online you never know. Anyone could copy a photo off google and tell you it was them- I'm not saying your guy did this, but you do need to tell at least three other people you're in this relationship and if you meet him go with a friend or family member at least the first two times!!! Just trying to help ya make good C's!!!

You could be a bit giddy right now... wait for it to wear off and see if you still really like him.  I would suggest letting the online relationship ripen or rot for at least a year.  If at the end of that time you still REALLY like him, then meet him (while observing the proper precautions listed above)

I don’t know about waiting a year before meeting him. That’s a really long time. I say meet him sooner than later and see what happens. I’d meet for lunch or something. If you meet and you feel it isn’t right then you know now and you can get on with things instead of wondering. You never know…I know this lady who met someone online (they didn’t even exchange pics!) and she ended up marrying him! On the other hand I’ve personally met online and really liked him and in person it was totally completely different and there was NO chemistry. Things can seem different online or on the phone but you never know if you don’t try it out! I say go for it. (I know you’ve heard it before but …just let someone know where & when you will be meeting him)
Good luck and I wish you the best!!!!!!!

I agree with anonymous ... talk to your parents FIRST.  There is no reason to keep them in the dark!!!  They are there to protect you, not harm you.   Be careful! I had an older friend who met someonline on line, but he talked to her for over 2 years before meeting her! She also got to talk to his parents and friendsand vice versa (he talked to her parents and friends) via e-mail before they met.  They are still together and will be forever.   Good luck and be cautious!

im in that kind of relationship too... I know I love my boyfriend to death and the same for him, but i've never met him. I think, if ur sure about him not being a perv, meet him somewhere in public. be careful tho. you never know about sickos out there.. ur lucky.. my bf lives on a different continent... but i love him. heh, God's cruel.. we're seperated by an ocean...

LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You cant be absolutely 100% sure that hes not an online predator. He might just be using a guys picture and then luring you with sweet talk.

He might not even turn out the way he acted online. he might just be using you for sex or something. you never know...      And you should talk to your parents and friends about this. Yes, your friends too because they can really help you. And if you do meet him have someone with you, dont be by yourself. Have someone like a trusworthy adult.

Hope if goes well!!
