I think they are who they say they are, as their email address is in the form name.surname@radiostation.co.uk - not a hotmail or anything.It's just a friendship we've got, not a relationship or anything.She's the same age as me (21) and works on a radio station in Oxfordshire, I live in the South-West Midlands. Recently she's been asking to meet me in person somewhere.Should I meet her offline?? I am aware there are dangers, but based on the email address (I doubt fakers etc. would get a corporate one!) should I meet her?? I'm not a teenager, so my age isn't an issue here.I'm not sure what to do. If anyone can help me, let me know what's the right thing to do.Matt B Reply to this Question

 Having actually MADE a documentary about this sort of thing, let me give you some tips that you can relate to: (by the way, I was in a similar situation at one stage, so this documentary I speak of was made under personal experience)Don't feel rushed into meeting this person if you have doubts.Stay open minded. Some people can be selective about things they tell you about themselves, e.g. Age, weight, ect.If you want to take things a step further ,you can start with a phone call, but either block your number, or use a public phoneAgain, if in doubt, meet her in daylight in a public place, and tell somebody who you're close to where you are going before you do.So there you are, just a few things you can do to make meeting her easier. It's nice to know that even though I'm not in that relationship anymore, I can still help people by relating to my experiences.
