Pen pal safety question?

[Zoey]

One night in the early hours I couldn't fall asleep, so I decided to check out one of them chatrooms. I was just messing around untill I came across this guy who really interested me. He stated his age (24) which is 7 years older than me, but I still wanted to learn to know him. We exchanged emails and now we've been emailing eachother for two months.

I gave him a fake email, so the only thing he knows about me is my first name, the country I live in, what I look like and what my hobbies are. On the other hand I do think that he is who he says he is, he gave me his real email adress and he has a facebook page. I've already made clear I do not intend to ever meet him in person, and if things get a little weird I can just cutt him off. Is this safe?

Never 100% safe, even if he is who he says he is. Just be careful. Skype him or something to make sure, and even then, don't give him anymore personal info.

NO DO NOT SKYPE!!!!!! RETARDED IDEA.... break contact...... its too easy to make a Facebook and fake email address .........ever heard Chris Hansen????? from NBC..... a show called (To catch a predator)))) its all bad news if u want friends stick to people you can see
