My daughters net b/f is coming to stay with us for a few days today. She has been chatting to him for the past year.

I figured its important they meet sooner than later to see if the whole thing is real. Also I figure if they meet under my roof I can make sure she is safe. Fingers crossed all will go well.

How do other people feel about this sort of thing? If you had/have kids how would you feel about them meeting someone from the net?

Have you snuck off and met someone because your parents said that this was not allowed?

Nope. I kinda guess the whole point of me having inbternet friends is i can tell them things because i know its okay to do so if its something you'd rather keep quiet about for some reason to your 'normal' mates. Plus everyone i click with seems to live on another continent.

Yes. I went to Sheffield on my own at 16 to meet someone

Also I was only 17 when I went to meet Greg and my parents didn't know either time where I'd gone or who I was with. Bloody stupid on my part and I'm damned lucky nothing happened to me.

Personally I think you've played it well letting him come to your house where you can supervise and make sure she's safe.

I think you're doing the right thing.

And if you had forbidden it, she would have snuck off to who knows where to meet him.

My mom flipped a s*** when I told her I was taking the train up to see Jon And Emily As much as I could understand her concern for safety, I thought she was exaggerating things and overreacting a bit. Made me feel frustrated, confused, and angry. I would have appreciated her taking a more supportive approach, but I guess my brother did a similar thing and it ended up being a big mistake so she was cautious with me too.

I've met a number of people off this site and I've never once told my mum because I know she would stop me.

Stupid, maybe, but it's not like I arrange to meet people in a back alley or something

I think you've done the right thing by letting him stay in your house, for her safety

I've met people from the internet but never deliberately. Ran into one at a gig, one who was busking on the street and I only found out on msn that night that it was her and one who was loitering around one late night in Aberdeen causing trouble.

My sister met her ex on the internet though, did it at our house when my mum was in, they went out for two or so years.

I think you are totally doing the right thing. I don't honestly know how I would react in this situation. I would want to be as understanding as you are.

When I met David, I flew to Tucson, and was waiting in a hotel for him. That was dangerous.

No, it's really not. I wasn't worried in the least.
