Should I?

Hia

Ive met a guy on the internet (myspace) who lives out 15mins away from me. Weve been talking for a few days and im starting to like him, he says he also starting to really like me.
So he wants to meet me, but i get nervous meeting new people, i hate it lol. Also im quite big (size 16/18) and an very self-concious about it, but he says he really doesnt mind.

Do you people think its a good idea to meet up, and do you have any advice?

Thanks in advance

Nah, just be careful and use common sense.

Meet up with him. The worst that can happen in the worst of all possible worlds is that he kills you and dumps your body in the river. Which isn't very likely, I should imagine he would express his dislike earlier if that were an issue.

I bet he doesn't, he's probably about 20 stone himself. And 54 years old.

Yeah, meet in a public place (town centre maybe?) and you say you've been chatting a few days? I would seriously recommend you chat for months before you even consider meeting somebody from online (just my opinion however).

Even if you know what someone looks like there is no guarantee that you will get on in person.
If you are intent on meeting him then, obviously, be sensible, meet somewhere public, make sure someone knows where you are etc etc.

However, if you've only been chatting for a few days then you can't possibly know each other that well. What's the harm in waiting a while until you're sure about things?

Thanks for your opinion, how long do you think we should wait

Well, for one thing until you feel comfortable with him. You say that your size is worrying you, and how he might react, whereas if you get to know each other better worries like that might go away.

you talked to his ex? yet you've only known him a few days, and why would he introduce you to his ex!?
What if it's just a random girl, who he's using to put in a good word for him! Hmmm sounds fishy lol or maybe I think too much.

Anyway if you wana meet him, meet in a crowded place as others have said, and don't feel anxious about how you look :smile:

I always feel a little uneasy about meeting people from the internet. Personally, i'm not sure I ever would. But i've had friends who've done it and with varying amounts of success. I think it's a hell of a lot easier to talk to someone via the internet and so meeting in 'real life' is obviously going to me a lot more awquard, and possibly a bit of a let down.

You say you've only been speaking for a few days, so why not just leave it a while longer and then see how you feel? But yeah don't meet him alone etc etc..or tell him your address blah blah hehe.
