not completly secure cuz you dont know them in person
No, it is not. Please dont go there. On the news, they said a lady found a man her type and they met and he killed her. If, this is for you, then i am sure you find a great guy out-there. Just internet realtionships, is just, bad and ugh, words cant descibe.
is safe if you dont give out info and check the address of the web b4 typing in things dating 2 meet? i wuldnt go there
It's not safe.ESPECIALLY for young girls. There are a lot of prowlers out there targeting young girls. Men OLD SICKO MEN will pose online as teenage boys just to lure the girl in. They are sex offenders. I don't suggest a relationship. I did the online dating thing. When I did I arranged to meet these men in a safe place such as a restaurant. I would always have a gut feeling about these people. I would feel uncomfortable and know something wasn't right or I would feel okay. I also looked for red flags. Guys that wanted to come to my house or wanted me to go to theirs. NOT COOL. OR guys that wanted me to meet them somewhere at 10 at night at the last moment. Not cool either. Or guys that got attached to fast or were too eager to ask for my phone #. I married the last person that I met and felt really good about. :0) You do have to be careful and as a youth, I would say, don't do it.
I wouldn't say it's safe,you look very evil to me.☺
Its safe to make friends online. Just don't get too personal and share unwanted info.
its not safe at all to make all these friendships relationships cuz u never seen them and remember people's eyes are the windows to their soul. you can never know the person till you be w him face to face.
as with anything there are risk. Use discretion and common sense. Think about it. if you were walking down the street and yelled out your name and where you lived and your phone number, you'd have no idea who heard it. and with online, you have no idea who this person is on the other side of the computer. So its great to make friends, network, and even flirt as long as you do it smart. dont ask him to meet up with you at all. however, i met my current wife over myspace, and we've been married two plus years on. so its not all horror stories.
Not even if it were the last place on earth to look for a friend. People sound nice, but for the most part, people don't want to look for friendship on the internet. And some are prowlers. Its most dangerous for girls. There are enough people in life that deal with you directly for you to determine if they can be friends or not. But not the internet. No way, no how.
The majority of people online are awesome but there is that tiny amount that ruin the safety for everyone.
its okay to make online friends, but keep it that way. just online friends and thats it.
if ur regarding ur self then news flash UR NOT YOUTH NO MORE, UR OLD!,
