I just open my YM to see whether there's my friends availabale to chat with. There's no one there, and i'm bored, so i try to use yahoo chatroom. Blame me, bc i enter 20's love chatroom. Is it wrong if i'm hoping find cute single guy out there? Since it work for some of my friends. So, as i enter the room, i received tons of private conversation from...female. I'm ok if they're just wanna chat. I luv meet new ppl from around the world. It's fun. Then one of them ask me to play game with her. I said what kind of game. She's laughed & said "u were so cute, u can see my profile to see what kind of game i want to play with u". So i see her profile & shocked! Oh my...this all ladies r...No offense, but i'm straight, not planning to be gay or doing dirty things on the net.
What do think guys?Do u think i'm stupid??I just wanna c if there's a chance to meet nice guy or new friends...this was weird & funny at the same time.
Full Version: Can't believe this happening to me!
Hey miss.gee. I think the internet is definitely a fun and different place to meet new people... but please please please be careful because you never actually know the person you're talking to on the other end (even if you think you do). There have been so many terrible cases of older men posing as younger boys to trick young girls into meeting with them and then bad things happen.
So PLEASE be careful, I care about all my Cookie friends and I would be devastated if anything were to happen to any of us.
A great way of meeting a nice guy or new friends is joining a sports team, a club, or working somewhere fun.
You will meet friends that way and one of them could have a cute guy friend.
Good luck sweetie pie, and remember to trust your instincts. If you don't feel right about doing something, don't do it. And if you ever need to ask me something you'd like to know the answer to, just pm me

Sharing Information
The net has become a place where we talk to many people. Some ways of doing this may be:
* Chat rooms
* Email
* ICQ
Meeting people with similar interests can be fun and exciting and it is not unusual to want to share information about yourself. When doing this it is important to keep in mind how much you know about the person you are sharing with. Sometimes we do not know a lot about them and it makes it harder to stay safe. There are a number of things, which can help you stay safe when you are meeting someone.
Using the Internet to Communicate
The Internet is a great way of staying in touch and meeting people. Chat rooms, ICQ, and email make it easy to speak to people from all over the world. However, the net can also be used for inappropriate communication and it is important to be aware of how to use it safely.
Some of the ways in which the net may be wrongly used include:
* Harrassing you with information when you have asked not to be contacted.
* People using the net to gain your trust so they can then have sexual contact with you.
* Using the net to work out your movements so that someone can rob your house.
There are a number of things you can do to help to reduce the likelihood of these things happening.
Avoid Giving Out Personal Details - Remember, using the Net to meet people means you don't really know who is on the other end of the line. It is possible to get to know someone's interests and to be friends with them without having to give out your personal details such as your address, surname or phone number. It is recommended that you don't send your picture, credit card or bank details to any individual. If you are using a credit card online make sure you are confident that it is a secure site.
If someone is pressuring you to give you these details, it may be a good idea to question why they need them.
To avoid giving out your surname, which allows people to find out more about you, you may like to sign with just your first name when chatting. Using a pseudonym (e.g. Dolphin99) is also a good idea. When you are setting up an email account perhaps you should also use a pseudonym.
Meet New People in a Group - If you decide to meet someone you have met over the net, meet in a place where there are lots of people around. This may be at the movies or in a shopping centre. You may also want to take a friend or two with you. Having a group of friends nearby is also a good idea. Meeting in places where no one is around like a park can be dangerous because if the person is not as friendly as first thought, it is harder to get help or leave the situation.
Avoid Chatting With People Who Make Sexual References - If someone is using sexual language or references it is best to stop contact with them. Research into pedophiles has shown that stalkers use the net as a place to attract young people and they often start by talking sexually before asking to meet the young person face-to-face. If the person keeps contacting you, contact the police.
