I have an online boyfriend. He is sweet, nice, funny and loves me. I know why people worry, but I’ve heard his voice and seen him when we video-chat. I love him, but how do I explain this to my family and friends?
 

Dear Online Girlfriend,

Online relationships worry people for good reasons. After all, many cyber guys are creeps and criminals. Emotional safety is also an issue. You and this boy have no even held hands, but you say you love each other. Even though you like his emails, you have no idea how he treats his sibs or chooses his friends or acts in school. Plus, you’ll feel hurt if your virtual crush logs off to hang with someone else. Save the L-word for a real-time relationship.

MOD MOD MOD i have questions 1. does this sound like a cute outfit for back t s? a tie die tank top, orange skinny jeans, black flip flops, pink flowery headband, and permed hair (mine is blonde short and curly) ? be honest!

Hey girly,
There seems like a lot going on here. Take away a couple of the colors and make sure that everything matches. Then you will have the perfect outfit. Remember, less is more.

From when I read the title, I had a instant answer! Don't wanna be a downer, but it is a bad idea. My friends, friend,friend got killed because of an online realationship.

Me? I don't really do the online dating thing because I feel that you only know who they really are if you see them in person. An over-the-computer relationship? It doesn't work for me. And they can be dangerous!
