So Italians AND Germans are not to be trusted!

Oh my goodness.
Those horrible people.

How are the English??

I'm not sure. I left the racist generalizations to the ignorant and immature.

well, i guess you guys are right. i have to figure out a way to tell my parents. but i still dont understand. even thought my parents have no idea…how am i lying to them? i mean, i really respect them. but i just dont really think im causing them harm
No, you aren't lying, but you are deceiving them. You're cutting off your own protection, while possibly opening yourself up to a predator.

Not smart.

he just turned 19 on the 18th of June. im turning 16 soon. i think
There is no way to impart wisdom to you. Just as you probably couldn't impart wisdom to a 12 year old girl wanting to date a 17 year old. YOU would know that it is a terrible idea for the 12 year old BUT SHE just couldn't grasp why dating a guy 5 years older than her in her teen years would be a bad thing.

This is what we are trying to get you to see. I fear we won't be successful because you are unable in your innocent mind to foresee the possibility of something bad coming of this.

Your innocence is touching, and NONE of us would like to see that innocence shattered.

Please get off the internet with this person until you discuss it with your parents.

Let me ask this:
How could you be writing to a person (any person) a Whole year and not know where they live?
Maybe you just can't remember the name of the town.

Everybody here that knows me, knows where I live and I've only been on this forum about 2 months.
Do you know where he works?

Lots to know, right?
See how he treats his mother.

Talk to mom. That's the way to look"into" a man. (how mom gets treated)

What do you mean "you think" you're turning 16 soon? :confused: Sweetie, you're 15 and he's 19. He's an adult, you're not. You're still just a young baby.. You need to tell your parents, I'm sure they want to know their naive 15 year old child is chatting up an online relationship with a 19 year old man.

I just checked your profile page to make sure you're a guy.

Oh my. You mean MEN know about the mom thing too??

Are there no secrets left between men and women?
Must you guys know EVERYTHING??

Hi Gracie,

The fact that you're asking for advice is both encouraging and disturbing. It shows that you're mature enough to realize you don't have all the answers. It also shows that you're not sure what you're doing is right. And let me tell you, it is not! Parents (even when they seem to get in the way of what we want), are a gift from the Lord. They've lived longer than us and have more experience than we do. Deception is a form of lying, and hiding something can't be honoring your parents. That's two Biblical commands broken.

I can't promise it is going to be easy for you to tell your parents. In fact, it probably won't be. The easy is usually not the right one. HOWEVER, in the long run, it will be better.

And one more note of warning: Do NOT, under any circumstances, try to meet this guy without your parents' knowledge and consent. Watch the YouTube clip one of the other users posted. Scary stuff, but too serious to be ignored. That kind of stuff really does happen.

God bless you, dear sister! I know this will all work out for your ultimate good!

I love it how you always twist and turn words of people you just simply dislike.
I said most, not all. In my small town a lot of italians live, in fact, my first crush was a italian guy.
I could go on with stories of people I know but I know about your attitude towards me, which doesnt allow me to talk to you in a normal way without being attacked, so I just wish you a blessed day.

I'm sorry Demi.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Italian and married to an Italian.

What do you mean that you know many that seem nice at first and then turn abusive.

Are you saying ITALIAN MEN ARE ABUSIVE??????????????

And from WHERE do you get your information??

Please be careful with what you say.

That's quite some statement you made there.

You see Demi,

YOU are the one that made the unfortunate remark
yet you think I AM the one that is attacking !!
Interesting.

I told you that you should watch what you say.
MOST means a lot more than 50%
That would mean that more than 50% of the men I know HERE IN ITALY WHERE I LIVE
are abusive.

I know this isn't true, but how about those that are reading along and don't really
know and MAYBE believe you, although I would hope that they understand this cannot be.

So if you think I have a bad attitude toward you, I'm sorry.
It does seem to me that YOU have a rather bad attitude toward ME since
I don't believe we've ever spoken to any great length before.

In fact, I remember telling you once that you're a very smart girl.
I'm not here make friends or to make enemies.

I say it like it is. That's my character.
If you don't like it, I'm sorry but I said nothing to you which requires an apology.

ANZI....

let me make things clear. this guy is not the person you think he is. he's so different and has complete respect and no inflections of being a pedophile. he has never asked of my address, phone number, not has he ever asked to meet. im very sure. ill post about in full detail so you can judge what he's like.

i didnt watch the video because it really has nothing to with him. if he was like 30yrs…then thats something to worry about. i appreciate all of your advice and it has really helped but you're kinda wrong about what he's like. dont worry…you all will soon find oitout

People can act one way on the computer, and another in real life.. No one is saying that he absolutely IS a pedophile. IF he truly is 19, and respects you and your privacy, that's great.. But you do need to be careful nonetheless.. Even some people on THIS site are not who they appear to be. Women pose as men, men pose as women or even as teenagers. :/

Hi Blue,

You mean, a man could pass for a woman?
But their brains are sooooo different!

Look at this:

youre wrong....

its as easy as doing the right thing and telling them


its like you dont care about their wishes

its like you know what they will do...

and want to keep it from them in selfishness


you being so defensive shows more than you know....

Listen NNM

I agree with those here that say that Gracie should tell her parents. I believe parents are supposed to protect their children.
However, those that post that idea here are probably very good parents that would know how to help their daughter that found herself in this particular situation.

I'll say this, I was in a Dangerous situation when I was about 14.
I told my parents because I was really afraid and didn't know what to do.
Instead of helping me, they blamed me.

No only was I left with no help from anyone, but I never told them anything
again.

Not every parent could be spoken to...

Gracie finds herself in a bind and is not certain what to do.
To just keep repeating that she should tell her parents, is not helping her any.

Although I agree that she should, we cannot know why she isn't.
She sounds like a pretty smart girl. Let's give her some credit...

You know how many couples are meeting on the net these days?

I'd also like to say that here, most kids who start dating at 19 end up marrying the girl.
This is not unusual.
