Free advice
Quote From: samalieHey everyone,
This is really creepy... Well, I think I need everyone's advice on this...
I've been playing an online game for about 3 years and I have lots of friends there...
I accepted giving my email to one of them whom I've always trusted... (We used to be boyfriend/girlfriend like 2 years ago but now we're just friends, and he has been on my Facebook list for about 4 months.)
I added him to my Facebook list and saw many pics of him and he saw some pics of myself as well...
I mean, he seems a fine person and he never did or said anything to hurt me... I just think he is trustworthy, but all of these stories about the net makes me sick.... :s
So, what should I do? Should I just remove him or not?
Share your opinion frankly, please! If you're not planning an affair, you could be just fine. I'm not on Facebook, cos I got on myspace (my daughte dragged me there, kicking and screaming) but I am on some online lists and have made many, many online friends, far and near. Many of them have become close friends offline, as well.
If the dude asks for money, run, don't walk, the other way. If he's just being a friend online, what's the harm? If you and he start thinking you'd like to be more than friends, don't do it until or unless you can meet face to face in safe social situations. It all boils down to the same common sense rules for meeting people you followed before the Net existed. Sometimes guys would meet a woman in a bar, and he'd turn out to be a creep.. but sometimes things would work out.
But I've had good luck, no stalking from creeps online (maybe because I present myself as a person who can take care of herself) and all the friends online I've met have been good people.
This situation doesn't sound like a high risk one for you, if you just use common sense.
