Glad there`s a lot of decent folk around here.
But it`s like it`s been said, there`s so many conmen around the net, hiding behind their keyboard they can be anything and say anything. Don`t let him make you feel guilty. If he was genuine, he would be apologising to you and be totally understanding of your concerns, instead of trying to hide his guilt by making you feel guilty.
You had gut instincts about this guy, gut instincts are usually a good start.

But don`t let people like him destroy your hope, for every con artist there is a wonderful person as well somewhere waiting to be discovered :) Just be careful until you are sure though :)

ooh wow a topic close to home......ive met a few people off the net...one of whome im good friends with, the only way and i mean ONLY way to do the whole meeting people off the net is to make sure that somebody knows everything you know....tell someone close to you who your talking to, name, age, address everything. and if you do eventually meet, it has to be a very public place, hey why not even take a friend? be safe....stay cautious!

I have actually been invited to girls houses on the first meet, and they've had kids upstairs.
the one from up there got straight in the car, never even looked at me.

One I met from brum was more cautious, she got a lift, and I had clear instructions to wait by the car not in it, so that they could see what I looked like. then we went to a pub not her place.
I prefer it to be public, stops me getting accused of doing anything I haven't.

Got to agree with the majority of posters, even you Mr K. (see karma Comment). The best thing is give nothing away, use official web meets to meet people and even then tell someone where you’re going and what time to expect you home. Always let someone know if you intend to change your plans, always keep your mobile to hand and primed to an emergency number, even mum or dad. Never meet anyone you don’t know in advance of the meeting, keep your own council and stick to your plans.

If someone you never met rang you on the phone at home and said they would like to see you, you would hang up, so why put yourself at risk on the web, if you’re interested in someone fine, meet them at an official function. By the way age makes no difference, if your 14 or 74 don’t do it unless you know what your doing.

One last thing to follow on from comments made by Len and Mez, as well as others. The official web meets are safe and there are those that will look out for the younger or more vulnerable people who attend. Use them if you want to meet people posting on this site. Always use personal judgement and never take face value.

I`m afraid if the person concerned does not want to give his name or email address I would forget about him and find someone who will. This all sounds very suspicious to me ....Freda Pickavance.
