Poll: Should I meet him?

[acer840]

You've been talking to him for three years and he won't Video Chat. That sounds really suspicious to me. If they can't trust you after 3 years of talking, then you shouldn't trust them either. I'd say don't go.

 

[OneOfTheMichael's]

I'd say he sounds like a suspicious guy. Don't be one of those gullible people who you read about in the news, the kind who say "He seemed so trustworthy. It seemed to be okay".

i agree with him on this

 

[Queen Michael]

Seriously; no video chat? And that's just because of the accent? No way Jose. In that case, why would he be okay with meeting you? His accent is the same IRL, so that means the accent isn't an excuse. Meaning that he has never given you a legitimate reason for not webcaming. Meaning he's a suspicious person. So be careful. No matter what the old sayings might claim, you often regret the stuff you did do just as much as the stuff you didn't do.

I have been talking to a boy a year older than me from Norway. We've been talking for 3 years now.
I met him online on a game called Puzzle pirates, I have him on facebook and msn so I've seen pictures of him. He refuses to go on web cam and speak on XBL because of his accent. I've wanted to go to Norway for a long time before I knew him. So when I finally go there should I meet him with my parents, or wait 10/15 years so if he's a paedophile he'll be about 60 and I'll be 25 so I can fight him off? I'm 14 nearly 15 and he's nearly 16.

I say go for it. But don't tell your parents, they won't understand-- you should sneak away to meet him at a private location of his choosing. Obviously he's a trustworthy and friendly person or you wouldn't even be considering this let alone talk to him for 3 years, so there's very little risk involved.

uh, you out of your mind? go and meet the guy, who may not be who he says he is, but dont tell your parents anything and sneak out? Worst case senario, she ends up going to met the guy, he isnt who he says he is, and she goes missing and no one would know what she was going to do or whare she was going. Seriously, think about it.

OP, get the guy to go on webcam. Or on Xbox live chat. If he doesnt agree to webcam, dont do it. The guy could exist, but it could be someone using his stuff.

 

[HeySeansOnline]

Eh if you want, I would get actual hard proof but that's me, just know this could run the gambit from you get married to he kills you.

One of my friends went to a foreign country to see someone she had talked to on MSN, Facebook and Bebo for about a year beforehand, and she was 16. She went there with her friend who was out of University who had also talked to the guy. He was genuine, they have met, he isn't a paedo, and he's one of her best friends.

They had seen each other on webcam and stuff before, unlike the guy you want to meet.

See him on cam first. If he resists then don't meet him, because that is really, really fishy if he keeps saying no.

 

[Fraught]

I don't get all the people saying it's dangerous and "it's a trap" etc.

He's going with his parents, and he knows his father's name, the location of his house, has seen some football pictures etc.

I mean, this is too elaborate. And besides, not everyone on the internet is a pedophile who scrounges through the internet and spends years developing internet relationships with people to rape them.

You're using the phrase "with his parents" as if it meant "heavily guareded by the CIA". Parents aren't perfect protection against everything.

Because to be safe against some old guy who wants to have dirty, sweaty surprise buttsecks with you, you need CIA.

 

[Uzigawa]

i don't feel like sorting through this to look for one thing but 1 of 2 things happened, either already someone has posted a pic of peado- bear saying "what did i miss?" or no one has, and if that's the case, your mother and I are very dissapointed in you

Wow, that's fear taken to a whole new level. Now not only is he more likely to be a pedophile than not (a topic I already shot down) but he has also become a supervillain. You seriously need to back away from news networks for a while.

 

[The Eggplant]

He refuses to go on web cam and speak on XBL because of his accent.

That right there is all the dissuasion you should need. You may have pictures, but in this day and age a much better catchphrase to live by is "video or it never happened." It's entirely likely that he's honestly just a nice kid, but there's no way of knowing. Sorry to rain on your parade.

EDIT:Bit of background Info..... I speak to a friend of his also, (who I met before him) I also googled his fathers name and got his address and it is a genuine house. He's on some school photos and football team photos and has 200 or so friends, he wasn't the one who instigated this and one time I was ill off school I appeared offline on msn all day and he wasn't on it once. And obviously I'd go with my parents. (How else would I afford it )

I say go for it, but try to be a bit careful at first.
Meet him for the first time in a place where there is other people around.

That being said, Norway is a very nice country, and the people here are pretty nice (at least in my experience).


Where is he from, if you don't mind me asking?
I'm curious, because I am also from Norway.

I never watch news networks, I'm just paranoid and aware that a suspicious person who's okay with you being accompanied by your parents must have something planned.

Have you tried to call him?
If you know his address... it shouldn't be too hard to find his phone number or the phone numbers of his neighbors.

Find out how much that would cost. Get the money somehow. And investigate the guy prior to meeting with him. Talking to his friends isn't enough in my opinion.

I knew a guy that had an online girlfriend and the both were underage and both had each other investigated professionally just because both were seriously interested in each other.

Either call him or pay someone to find out more about the guy prior to meeting him.

So if he said he was okay with you bringing the CIA, then by your logic he MUST be ready for that and now you need to bring the army. If he said okay to that then HE'S READY FOR THAT TOO, so now you have to have kill satellites on standby. This is a regressive problem that can only lead to locking your door and never coming out again because you can never be satisfied that it isn't some supervillain who is ready and waiting to deal with each and every safety precaution you take. That's insane and you know it.

Paranoid people aren't smart. They're irrational. It's confusing that you would even think to want to describe yourself that way.

That's pretty intelligent reasoning. I admit that your logic is sound, but I still wonder why he won't webcam.
