Is anything real ? I doubt it.
But as for internet chatting. It is a real person you are talking to. Chances are good they wont kill you. They most certainly cannot hurt you if they do not know who you are. Sometimes you can tell people online stuff you cant say to people you know.
I like talking to people online, and think it is "real", and everything is all in your head in everything in life
Ive met a LOT of people from the internet in real life. Like maybe 30 or so in the last 10 years. Some may have been weird but no one ever hurt me and everyone was always who they say they were
funny thing, I actually met some men on craigslist a few times for sexual relations :O
And the fist boy i ever did that with, years ago, I am still friends with and talk to often. Was texting him all day. Told him I broke up with Jeff so he wants to hit it again, of course. Men are sluts. He is prob coming over wed.
ITs so cute, he was actually kind of nervous about ME cause he never met some woman like that, who honestly jst wanted to fuck. He later told me he was kinda scared i would hit him with a wrench lol. Later, he gave me a wrench for my birthday. He is a nice boy.
But people are going to be who they are going to be on the internet or in life, and anyone can lie about anything anytime.
I am NOT going to NOT meet people just because it "may" be dangerous. I check people out. Being afraid
Of what, a person you can meet in public and walk away if they are creepy ? That is no way to live.
