Ok from what I told you, before I ask her anything, do you think it is safe to use a webcam? If I use a webcam, will they obtain any of my personal information? Is using a webcam enough proof to prove whether a person is who they say they are? Is using a webcam dangerous? In your opinion, should I continue or end this relationship before things get more serious?
I really would appreciate your input. I really like this girl, and wanna see if this girl is really the girl I have been talking to. I wanna know if it is safe or unsafe, so I know if I should cut off the relationship or not. I appreciate all your help.Online relationship!! Need advice!!?
U r smart for taking precautions, u just dont know who is on the internet. A webcam chat will not tell u if she is normal or who she says she is, but it will let u know more about her mannerisms, her tone/personality and sarcasm which can be hard to pick up on from online convos. If u do a webcam chat make sure the background she sees is just a plain wall. I suggest u keep personal info personal. Make sure u kno she is single and her intent is to get to know u. Just make sure she isnt really a 50 yr old he. Ha good luck, a webcam is harmless, they may get ur IP and get to keep images or video of u but she already has pics right so no big deal.....if phone numbers are exchanged then she can find ur address and ur parents name so be careful and good luckOnline relationship!!

its not going to work out because you live like 3 thousand miles away from her, i had the same relationship with a girl like 2 years ago she lived in texas i live in california but i didnt like it because i couldnt touch her or kiss her so eventually i had to end it.
Use a webcam but make sure you have a password setup so only the people you want to see you can see you!
People have been meeting people online for years. I see nothing wrong with it as long as you are careful.
it is never safe. honestly? for all you know, it could be your math teacher. it could be a guy. it could be a stalker, muderer, etc.
Well doesnt hurt to have a cam n voice chat .. im sure u understnd its not best to be hasty .. You may like the image she projects online .. however this may be different from how she may be in reality ..
Take it easy .. be friends with her . .n c hw things go ..!
Cheers! :P
never meet people online!! it's against the bible!
ummm online relationships are never good....ditch her
tell her how u feel then let your heart deside
I guess I will try to answer your question from a ';mom'; perspective. First, you have already started the process through sending pictures and talking. There must be something that is giving you an ';aha-type'; feeling in that you do not seem to trust she is who she has been saying she is. Why would you continue to chat with someone unless you felt sure? Web cams are a great way to see a person; I don't know what your fear is when you asked if it was dangerous. It is not dangerous, rather it is a way to meet the person on the other end. I don't know who you think ';they'; are with respect to obtaining info about you. I never had Internet because of not wanting my kids to be online. You sound suspicious; why would you interact via online communication if you haven't thought about this before? The Internet is ';very dangerous'; because of this reason, and the ';she'; could be a ';man'; posing as someone else. Dateline and Oprah did a show about child predators online, and the number of people all across the U.S. is staggering who are interested in kids. I just sent a picture of myself to a former co-worker I have not seen in a number of years; it was a picture that dates back to 1991 (and I do not look like that now). So, there is a perfect example in that anyone can send a picture. I would suggest you call Best Buy and speak to their computer geeks regarding whether anyone can see personal information prior to using the web cam. You could exchange phone #s first, then if you feel comfortable with the conversation, you both can hook up to a web camera. Have her mom enter the room so you can meet her, as well. That's also a sure bet you are dealing with the real person. Also, make sure the web camera isn't a ';set date;'; if you are talking on the phone and you say to her, ';Turn on your camera,'; knowing she is home, and she turns it on and you see her, then she most likely is the person she has stated that she is. Good luck and always follow your gut feelings.
I dont think using a webcam is dangerous. How would it be?
You definetly need to confirm if she is who she is. She should be wanting to make sure you are who you say as well!
You will easily see if you would like to continue speaking and having an online relationship.
Although....
You two are young and it just could be puppy love. Dont put your all in this, and I say that, ONLY because you say you are a minor, so thats 16 and under. Find someone in your state!
Its really her, your just paranoid about this for some reason.
No no one could obtain personal info through a webcam, unless you have like a poster with all of your info on it behind you while your on the webcam.
A long distance relationship? It won't work, just stay friends.
Using webcam is safe, but that should be the least of your worries. Being so far apart, do you actually think there is a possiblity for you and this girl will work out? Are you capable of flying to CA to visit her from time to time? Being a minor, I think this relationship will not last. However, it's perfectly alright to stay as friends, as you don't know where will it lead you years later. I think you are smart, so continue to be cautious and you will be fine.
i think you should be pretty safe. i have a friend who met someone on a gaming site and they dated happily for several years. i myself meet guys on okcupid and although i haven't met the right guy, i've made new friends and i've NEVER been at all endangered. people make a fuss about online dating being dangerous....but really...anytime you meet a new friend at a party do you REALLY know them? as long as you meet up in a public place you should be fine.
