Im dating someone over the internet and I have never seen him before and it's a long distance relationship... im confused and I don't know if it will work... HELP ME!!

This is a waste of time. He can be a predator. Don't bother and move on

First of all your not really dating anybody. You can not date somebody that you have never met before. Hopefully that clears up your confusion. Another thing I would like to say is that this friendship has developed over the internet you do not truly know who it is behind that keyboard. Long distance, uhm you never met the person. I personally do not think it will work.

It is possible eventually maybe but would you not rather be with somebody that you can actually see face to face, heart to heart and actually get to really know someone that is actually right there with you instead of apart?

Hope this helps some. I am not stating that it never works you just have to be very realistic and careful.

If you never plan on meeting the guy, or you are unable to, I wouldn't call this a relationship. More like a really good friendship.

Long distance relationships do work for some people, but generally more in people who have actually met face to face.

Wow - I don't mean to be hurtful in anyway, but someone needs to say it. You are boy crazy. And boy crazy will lead you to many things, the least of which is heart ache. Ever consider what it'd be like to have a 10 year old when you're 24? Or having to live your life completely abstinent because you've got a virus of one kind of another (HIV/AIDS ring a bell?). You need to keep your hormones in check, I strongly suggest buying a book about the female body and sexuality. There are many many many that are directed to young women your age, just coming into puberty and all that fun stuff. I know I answered a lot of my own questions by simply taking the initiative to learn about myself (physically and emotionally). You are headed down a very scary and consistently more dangerous road. Watch your step young one. Rape is also a likely possibility - I'm certain that you've heard things about it, but look it up on the internet, look at pictures, too. Decide when you're looking at the faces of those women if you want that to be you. Or damn, turn on the news once and hear all the stories about 13 year old girls getting snatched up by old disgusting men disguising as an attractive, seemingly nice, and apparently interested 17 year old boy over the internet... Geez, girl, you have got me going on and on, but know that I need to say these things because no one is being brutally honest, and that seems to be what you need.

They are right u shouldn't trust people online. They can be anyone they want all they need is a fake pic and a big story. I have never dated online but I would be really careful the world is full of crazy people and a lot of them live their fantasys on here. Good luck and be safe

I met my hubby on aan online dating service. He is a wonderful guy and was long before a lot of weirdos got off on it. I would not suggest dating someone you have never met. Seems like a dangerous and foolish waste of time.

How can you say it is foolish if that's how you and your husband started?

Chatting on the internet is a great way of making friends all over the world. But most of the time, they stay just that... friends. Chatting on the internet is also a good way to draw in the kind of people you don't want, like predators for instance. You have to be careful of what you say and make sure you don't give out too much information. If you are cautious, the potential risk if danger is slightly lowered. Just be careful! :)

To be honest my hubby was on the dating site. Not myself someone met him previous to me and that is how I met him. Basing a relationship on an interneet conversation is a bit scary nowadays.

I agree, it can be scary. Especially if you are young and don't know any better on how to take the proper precautions, such as not giving your name, age, where you live, etc.

If you just keep it down to chatting, and not exchanging personal information, it will usually turn out okay.

Hello.

The Internet is a fantastic way to meet new people and many many people are together today that met on the internet. With that said for every one good match there are 100's of liers and cheaters. You have to watch what is said and how it is said.

Don't think your chatter can't get your information because most people give away enough information to track you down in a 10 min chat.

Example: Your school age and the person your chatting with is the same age (or says he is). Your chatting about how funny his school mascot is. You tell him your mascot. The conversation moves to homecoming and what time of the year it is at your school. The conversation now moves to how each other looks. He makes a joke about how last year he wore a funny hat for his year book photo. You tell him what you wore.

In less then a 10 min chat you have told him what school you go to and what you look like so he can look up your year book. That is unless your photo is on your chat room main page.

Now if you work or do anything special at school like sports its even faster to find your information.

I hope this opens your eyes and makes you take it slow when your chatting on the net.

Good Luck
