writes: I'm a 15 year old male and i recently met an older man off of a forum. It wasn't a dating forum or anything, and we started off as just friends, just talking about stuff. On my account it said i was 21 (I had listed my age as that to be taken more seriously by the other members) so this guy was under the impression thats how old i was. After we talked for a while i started to fall in love with him, not just a crush, i was seriously, head over heals in love with this man. I told him how i felt, and he told me he felt the same way. Then after about a week i told him i was 15, and he said he didn't care, that even so he still loved me. But now after a few months of being with him I'm still just as much in love with him, but we've been talking a lot about meeting someday, i want to meet him, but I'm scared. I'm scared i might have somehow fallen victim to a predator. i just want some advice. i dont know what to do. please help.

You didn't say how much older the man was.
But what it comes down to is you are a minor and you have to be very careful and protect yourself. Obviously,..red flags are appearing that is why you posted this question. Trust your instinct. Love is very blind. We get head over heals somebody and it's so hard to see things for what they are. You have to understand...you are young, vunerable. so a person that says and do all the right thing will make you feel loved and wanted. He is older and can easily take advantage of you. So please protect yourself. Talk to a trusted adult. I do not want to hear another tragic story on the 6'clock new. take care.

If I was you.. we would not meet in person cause if he dose not care that you are 15 than he must be sick... if he is like way older than you he might do something wrong or hurt you but you can do what you want...... just let someone know that your going lkie a friend or some one who can keep you saef ie something happens....
