Heck no! If a man is bold enough to ask you to meet him, he needs to be just as forthright about who he is. Meeting a total stranger is already very risky business. My advice is that if you decide to meet, tell him it needs to be only after he agrees to certain groundrules. Rule #1 Meet in daytime Rule #2 Do not meet alone #3 Do not go to him (i.e. to a nother city or state) let him come to where you are. You need to be aware of your surroundings. #4 If his intent is genuine he wont have a problem with you having his last name. He will already recognize that having as much information as possible is a security and safety issue and out of consideration of that AS WELL AS respect, he will honor your requests as not to compromise your trust and to give  you peace of mind.

Does he wish to go out with you?  If yes, that is one less thing you have to consider.\n\nAge is DEFINATELY just a number, though if you are not of legal age in your country and he is, please stop all contact with him or stay only friends because he could get in trouble for being with a minor.  \n\nAnother thing is... Please use caution with being online.  I honestly cannot stess enough the stories I have heard of people who have pretended to be someone they are not, people who try to take advantage of others in illegal or hurtful ways, and all of this stuff. If you take your relationship into offline life make sure that you do the following:  tell your friends about this person (including his name, where he is from and all of that) make sure that if you do meet you do so in a public place with other people around and take a friend with you, if you are in a position to do a background check on him do so, and the rest of the necessary things to keep you safe.  I am NOT saying all people online are predators, some are very nice people and I met my future husband in a Yahoo! Chatroom but I also used very reasonable precautions when going forward with meeting with him and such.\n\nIf you both like eachother and are both of legal age, go for it; a wonderful, trusting relationship is a rare find and sometimes you have to take it where you can get it.  Just try not to pay attention to what people say about finding someone off the internet.  Though, if you feel there is something wrong in your relationship at anytime, look into it... don't dismiss anything.

To be honest with you, i wouldnt try to arrange a date on the internet-its too risky and you can never be 100% sure of who you are speaking to!! When i was arranging a modelling shoot one day, i drove 100 miles to what i thought was a professional "photographers studio", only to find out his real name, and that he was a pervert. He tried to sleep with me!! Luckily i was mature enought o handle the situation and talked my way out of it, but it could have been alot worse...!\n\nI took all of the precautions-such as, getting their name, website address, phone number, seeing photogarohs of them, and even live webcam!! I even got references, which this guy managed to fake.\n\nAt the end of the day, stick to what you know-go out and have fun, and meet peope face to face like everyone would have before the internet came about! This is the safest way!\n\nIf you do decided to meet someone on the net, see them on webcam first and get as much info about them as possible. Tell your family/friends EXACTLY where you are going etc etc and what phone number to contact you by.\n\nGood luck xx

put his name on yahoo answers.\nuse question such as that:\n\nDo you guyz know a guy called"......"??\nif that is your name, or you know him, tell him to email me at:\nblahblahblah@yahoo.com\n\nif you think that using his real name will annoy him, then use his nickname if you know it, but don't use a nickname he don't like to be called with!!!

I think you should meet him, but not even entertain the thought of marriage yet.  All you really know is what he has chosen to tell you via his internet persona.  Who knows what really lurks underneath.

- try to search nickname (or name) on Yahoo! or Google.\n- ask him.

I would be extra careful. Meeting people online can be dangerous, cuz you never really know who your talking to. if you do go and meet him, don't go alone, make sure someone knows where your going and give them a number to get in contact with you. 3 months isn't very long. \nJust be extra careful

If he is your cousin and you know him then why are you asking for his phone number, or his email, and if he will come to your house, just so you can say on your next question  that he is coming over. Look i don't mean to be rude, but  you sound like a stalker, and i understand you might just be a kid, but the truth is even if someone on here knows anything about him they aren't going to  just give his info out on line. Think about what your asking before you ask. then maybe you ll see why people are being like they are in there responses to you.

You really need to meet them before you make a decision. I've met a couple of people from online that ended up being completely different than the way they presented themselves. I've also met a few that we just didn't click in person. \n\nRegardless of when or how you decide to meet them, please play it safe and meet in a public place! There are a lot of psychos out there so better safe than sorry!\n\nGood luck to you!

be safe. Meet him in a public place. Don't give him your address invite him to you home or go to his until you know him better. Tell somebody where you are going, who you are meeting and when you expect to be back. Take a mobile phone. Either drive yourself or make sure you can get back by cab or public transport yourself.\n\nHe's probably a really nice guy, most people are, so he won't mind you being cautious.

nope i bet you know more about tyler and the internet guy.  you will be safer that way.  he can tell you he is going to meet you and because you dont know anything about him (like how he looks and dont go by that pic he sent to you) i am raper man shows up and now you are in some wooded area with no clothes on and not breathing (graphic enough for you, good) so stick with tyler at least you know his face doesnt change...

Oh I hate it when people do that - it's creepy. Just ask him straight out. You want to know, after all... If it's the guy you like sending you stuff, then that's awesome! If it's not, then you can say something like, oh good, it's kinda creepy to not know who it's from and you don't seem like a creepy kinda guy... you know, use it to start a conversation...

Well, online stuff is so hard to deal with.  I met my current bf online.  He is wonderful, but, he isn't the first one I met and you have to pull up the weeds before you find the flowers.  You need to stop sending him im's, let him make the next move.

I'm guessing you were trying to say you proposed to this guy you've never met? I think if he feels you are obviously obsessed, you will give in to him if you meet and trust me...there's crazy people out there who prey on your type every single day. Be cautious of what you're doing and saying via the internet.
