Like everyone said .. Is it possible .. Yes, it is .. Is it safe .. He!! NO! I know YOU know the dangers involved. We've all heard the stories about pedophiles and predators on line. It's real and it's a definite danger. However, there are also legitimate relationships (even if it's just friendly) that take place as well.

Point being .. be cautious .. don't naive and definitely do NOT believe EVERYTHING this person tells you. Take it for what it is .. a possible gamble for your life.

Most importantly .. for your own safety ... Do not keep it a secret .. make sure that your parents and your friends know what is going on.

Keep in mind .. It's so easy to become a person who is very likable on line. Because, it's easier to say what you think someone wants to hear. On line relationships are notorious for not being "in your face honest" so to speak. It's much easier to manipulate people without having face to face contact. Anyone can tell you they are who they are not .. and it would be sooo easy for you to believe they are the person of your dreams...when if actuality they are your worst nightmare.

Yes, of course it's ok. But you have to trust him! I mean when he is not online you don't know what he could be doing. You know what I mean?

That's not really a relationship, and you never really know who you're talking to. Go to Youtube and pull up videos of the show "To Catch A Predator". These freaks go looking for young girls like you and ... wait, you said you're 19, right? Ok, well still, just be careful.

Just be careful of the lies. Like when a 17 yr old boy says he's 19. Or worse a 13 yr old tells you he's 19, then YOU become the pedophile.

Yes, but it's not wise. Be VERY careful when you're dating over the internet.

As long as you know the person and have seen their real photo. Some people use fake photos to determine how they want to look which they really dont look like that particular person in the photo. Always be careful and maybe you could skype. Talking back and forth with no pictures involved talkinga bout you love someone when you cant even see them and their across country I dont agree with that. Be careful use your brain and never meet them until you feel comfortable and you skype. Photos.. cant go off them because people hack peoples facebook and go on google and get pictures. Skype.. its safer.

I have to agree with RedFire but the prob is the picture it may not even be him in the picture ask him to meet you some where out in public but make sure its not to crowded and that its about 1-7 miles away from your house
