 The age to sign up is 18 right? So I'd say anything below 18 is too young.

Oh well, from one stranger to another, if fun with men is what you're after it's better & safer to do it where there is not a very high level of annonimity between the two of you. Let's face it, people can fake their identity over the computer but they can't fake it in the bar, the fair or any venue of social congress. The best place to meet the opposite sex is a place where you can see them in the flesh & in full view.

Set some rules, no nude photos should be #1 as i've learned some men/women are stupid and will send you XXX photos!! If they break that rule, block them. Unless your ok with that kind of thing. (Personally if they feel the need to do that right away then makes me think they just want a quick fling!) 2. Search in google Red flag warning signs of abuse people. Read them over and over again. Buy knowing these you'll over time be able to spot the crazy people after a few conversations. Or they'll make it easy for you, like with this one guy who I'll admit wasn't that cute but was very intelligent and for me that made him super hot! However He started to act very weird and was posting pictures of his nipples O_O and a week into talking to him online started talking about his big house out in the country and how empty it was, and how he could take care of me. Pretty dam weird comment from some one I don't even know! He got stranger: A few days later started posting this: I hate lairs and if you think I'm lying you can stick a needle in my eye (he was serous!) After he said that I blocked him on facebook. Another thing to watch out for is if the first thing a person asks for is your phone number. Do not give it say you don't have any mins left at the moment. What your doing is stalling and giving time to get to know this person better to watch out for any Red flag warning signs (crazy person signs.) Another thing that guy I blocked offered to buy more mins for my phone. Never accept any thing like this from a stranger. Think about it, if they are crazy then they will think you owe them and use paying for your phone (or anything else) as a guilt trip later on.Sane men and women would never offer something like that to someone they do not know! Remember people online are strangers. It's also a good idea if you do decide to meet up with someone online to get a can of pepper spray in your purse. And before going to meet this person let your family know! It could save your life! Another thing is a good idea to become friends with the person first, to see if your compatible at least!That being said most people are not like this and are nice, I wish you good luck. - darkocean - Don't worry about what people think. They don't do it very often.

 If it freaks you don't do it, it's not doctor's orders :).
Internet dating is supposed to be fun, if it has to make you uncomfortable or panicky, where's the fun ?

 A lot of younger people meet on Facebook these days which is pretty much the same as Internet dating so I don't see why not. Just make sure you always meet people in public places and don't give away any private details till you get to know them.
You'll probably meet lots of men you don't like, but you only need one to be right do give it a go...!
