In reply to Scared...may have conversed with a predator, posted by Shy_Girl on May 12, 2005, at 13:56:31
If you didn't give name/address, he can't find you. Why do you think he's a predator? Because he's asking questions about sex/relationships? Some people might get too intimate too quickly, but you also said he puts a lot of effort into his replies. Is it possible that instead of being a predator, he's just a "regular guy" who's interested in you?
Even so, I think it's good to be cautious, especially if your gut tells you this guy is "off." You have the power to tell him "No" to anything he asks. You also have the power to stop conversing with him. YOu don't owe him anything, really. If you're going to cut off the relationship, you could say something like "I've enjoyed talking with you but at this point in my life I'm not ready for any relationships, and I feel it's best for us to stop conversing." That way you're clear about it, but not cruel.
If you think he truly is a predator, you should probably stop all contact. If you think he's just a lonely guy trying to connect, play it the way you feel.
You've mentioned before that sometimes you feel extra anxious & paranoid about things - how are you doing right now?
Good luck!
