I see you are both boys?
Maybe he hasn't fully come out of the closet yet if he is that young?
Still i wouldn't advise traveling that far without parents with you at least..

Well im not going alone at £400 a ticket, and the price of stuff there! My mother said she'd be more than happy to meet him ( With a machete in her socks)
If you want to meet him, go for it. Just do so in a public place and bring your parents; there's only so much that can go wrong if you take those precautions.
I actually have some advice for your friend, too: Don't be self-conscious about letting people hear your voice. Norwegian accents are dead sexy!*

Rule 1 - when young NEVER meet up with someone you "know" from the internet
Only time you should meet an internet friend is if they are just visiting your city and you're old enough to make good decisions.
Even if you want to go to Norway going to visit this guy isn't a good reason to go at all. Also if you're have to look up addresses etc isn't that telling you it's not a good idea?

I would suggest waiting a couple of years, not too long. Try to get him to talk on webcam. I don't understand why he would be so embarrassed of his accent that he wouldn't talk at all on webcam. Especially since accents are cool.
But I mean if you are going to be with your parents, I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Wow, your mum must wear some pretty big socks!Musclepunch said:
Seriously though, even if you *did* see him on a webcam and everything, I'd still advise taking your parents, meeting in a public place and making sure someone knows where you're going. It's sad that we have to be so cynical about people we meet online these days, but that's the world we live in.
Hell, I'm 25 and if one of my online friends wanted to meet IRL I'd still take precautions.
*Dons the hat of immaturity*
I went to meet someone I'd never met before about 2 and a half to 3 years ago. He was a friend of a friend, so I had a vague idea that he was actually real.
Turned out to be the same guy I'd been talking to and he wasn't some paedo. Hung out with him in his home town, and I started dating one of his best mates.
Zoom forward to today, we're still really good friends, and I'm still going out with the guy.
*removes hat*
So yeah, actually, I went against every recommendation/rule/teaching/idea about meeting a "friend of a friend" you'd only ever spoken to over the Internet and texted. Turns out was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I think he doesn't want to speak english as its a second language to him so I can understand that.
Just tell him you're going out there and you need to see him over the webcam before you can actually meet him. I don't recommend going to meet him with what you've described, but if you can actually see him in action, all power to you. And, yeah, with your parents, and maybe pepper spray.
Yeah, i'm sure most times meeting a stranger goes perfectly fine, most times.I'm also sure the internet is a hunting ground for weirdos of all kinds and from this setup (no voice, no video, just pictures) it sounds just a little too shady to my liking, maybe i'm being paranoid but better safe than (very) sorry...CakeDragon said:
Well I went on holiday last August/September with internet friends. I was a little nervous since I might have spoken to these people for quite a long time (some of them I've spoken to for 11 years now) I'd never actually met them. My parents and my Grandma were understandably nervous especially since i was going to Northern Ireland (gotta love those terrorists yeah they still kick off from time to time)
My advice is if you really want to go, go but be sensible take your parents if everything is fine they can go do something else while you hang out. Meet at a public place and all the other sensible stuff but just have fun enjoy yourself and be safe.
