Denise32 agony auntOkay. First, have you actually talked on the phone, or just by text or email? See, you don't know this boy at all as yet, and at the very least having a phone conversation may give you some idea of what he's like - if when talking you start to feel awkard or uncomfortable, or you sense that what he's saying either does not make sense, or he avoids answering questions, it's important to pay attention to those feelings!

Second: you say he lives in another town. How far away is it from where you live? Would you have to stay overnight? If you would have to overnight, DO NOT stay at his place, no matter what! That's never a good idea on a first date, and especially in your case, because you're still pretty young.

If you DO meet him, make sure it's in a public place - cafe, restaurant, mall, where there are lots of other people around. It might be a good idea to have an older woman friend you trust to go with you. In any case, you should arrange to have a friend or relative call on your phone while you are with him to make sure everything is alright. Make sure your parents know exactly where you will be and when they can expect you home.

Look: I'm not trying to scare you. What I'm telling you is simply commonsense behavior for any woman seeing someone she met online for the first time. Hopefully you will enjoy the time together and everything will be fine. It's just that until you get to know someone really well, you need to be a little cautious.

An even better idea: why not let him come to where YOU live so's you can both hang out at the mall, or coffee shop? Again, make sure there's plenty of other folk around, and go to meet him on your own, and return home by yourself.

Hope this is helpful. Good luck!
