My friend has an online boyfriend and she recently told me about meeting him in real life. They have exchanged phone numbers and call eachother, but I’m still concerned about it due to all the online predators in the news. What should I say to her to make sure shes safe? Or should I just let them meet eachother? Help!
omg single_gurl that is terrible! i hope she is okay!

very !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If she is determined to meet him, I would advise against it, then you should find out all of the info about where they are going to be. Then, you need to keep in contact w/her all night and make sure that she is all right.
Let them go on a date, but make it a double date. That way you could cheak out the guy and make sure everythings ok
offer to go along with her and make sure that they are meeting in a public place that way you are all safe.
Yes this is extremely dangerous! At the risk of jeopardizing your frienship you need to tell her parents. Some of these guys are really sick!
how long have they know each other.. im doing the same thing.. cept we have known each other for 3 years..
Tell her to meet him in a very public place for the first time. Pretty simple huh ?
does her parents know and if they do how is he getting there make sure its in a public place and haver her bring plenty of friends with her is she sure he legit
Meet in a public place and stay in a public place. Its just like going on any date. You meet a guy, think you click so you go out on a date, you dont know the guy isnt a rapist or serial killer. Even after 10 dates they may turn out to be!
It can happen anywhere. I went on many dates through the internet. I was a victim a party at my University. I never hear people telling me to be careful at my school party.
You never know. If you are concern about her safety, tell her you are going with her in public places only, such as the mall (far away from your hometown), marketplace, fair, amusement parks, and so on.
let them meet this might be her true love if you say anything you might lose a friend
Make sure they are meeting in public areas. If this guy is on the level then he should have no problem with this because he’s interested in his own saftey as well as letting her know that he isn’t a psycho. If he bucks then he’s either looking for sex and nothing else or he could be truly dangerous. Depending on how old your friend is I would consider letting someone know be it her parents or maybe a school counsler. She may be upset with you but thats better then her being in danger.
Yes it can be dangerous. But then again all blind dates are. She needs to get his name, home phone, and a pic of him. then leave that info with you.
but she should meet on her turf and with a friend to escort on the first meeting.
Well, I think you should go with her and make sure they met in a very public place. and if your under 18 make sure you tell an adult about what she is going to do
Tell her that her parents should know about her meeting with this boyfriend of hers.
Well, you can’t let them do anything. She’s meeting this guy. Why don’t you take a few friends and go to the same cafe your friend and her boyfriend are going. You all can have a signal if you and your friends, or she, thinks he’s dangerous.
Make sure she’s careful at all times, that she meets him at a public place, and that she’s very careful on her way home.
well just say to her to be careful and get to know the guy
Yes, this is a potentially dangerous situation. If she does decide to meet him in person, tell her to do it in a very public place with a lot of people around, and ask her to call you every few hours so you know she’s okay.
have her do a background check. This can be done on the net. Tell her to be very carefull.
My 2 friends have met people online, and are both engaged now to those people! LOL! Yes, it’s very dangerous, but if they’ve been talking for a LONG time, have seen pictures, and talked over the phone, and still feel safe, make sure she meets him in a very public place…and tell her not to let him take her into a potentially secluded or dangerous place, especially alone. I have also met a guy I met online, and he was not a pervert or anything other than what I expected. And I talked to him online and over the phone first…and I met him in daylight, in public areas. I also exchanged pictures with him first, online. I know that’s still not very safe, but it turned out to be OK…we even dated for a while! Good luck with your friend…tell her to be cautious and safe, but to have fun! You are a great friend for being concerned! =) I don’t blame you for worrying, lol!
Ask your friend to meet him in a very public place such as a coffeeshop or a restaurant, so that if something goes wrong, she can easily leave. She also shouldn’t go somewhere ‘private’ with him until after a few real dates.
yes this is very dangerous and u have every right 2 be concerned. She only knows what he wants her 2 know,…or think.
I have known ppl that met each other online and went on 2 be very happy,but again i stress….Very Dangerous!!!
Don’t let her meet him alone
you should tell her about the online preditors i have a story that you need to tell her be4 she meets him
(one year ago this girl was on the internet and found this guy and was talking with him they gave eachother their phone numbers they have wanted to meet eachother for 5 years. The girls parents finally let her meet this guy and go out on a date and she said she would be back in 3 hours well here is the sad part
3 hours pass and she didnt return the parents called her cell and it was dissconected so 1 week passes and no one has heard from her since the day she went on a date with the guy online)
true story
THE END
p.s. Dont let her go with him if she doesnt know him.
