What do I expect?! !! !!

Post Reply New Topic

Ok! My older sister Erica found me this guy Matt to go to the Zelda concert with this Saturday. We've chatted on Facebook and HIS mom wants to me to come over for a game night. on Friday I said yes Me and Matt have discussed our video game interests and are going to play 3DS and Wii games etc. BUT! I've never BEEN to a persons house (outside of family) for YEARS!! !! !! NOT TO MENTION NEVER BEEN TO A GUYS HOUSE! OR HAD A GUY FRIEND (Outside WP/FaceTime) SINCE I WAS IN ELEMENTARY! (I don't make friends easy) I was on a college campus a full year and met ZERO friends. My last "guy friend" was a jerk! and sort of a bully. He'd take lipstick and smear it on my toys. I didn't know that was "inappropriate" and let him do it.

Matt is 20 so I'm 6 years older than him. I'm so scared I don't know what to expect!! ! He has a "Man cave" with Air Hockey and TONS AND TONS of 360 games by looking at his games list it's astounding far more than I can dream of.

I'm SUPER SCARED!

It sounds as if you've not yet actually met Matt. Does your sister know him well or does she just know him online?

Going to a man's home in order to meet him for the 1st time is risky behavior. General dating safety guidelines suggest meeting a new date at a public place. You say you will be going to meet him at his Mom's house. How do you know his Mom will be there or whether where you're going is actually his Mom's house? Has your sister been to this place you're planning to go?

You're fearing the social aspects. It's sad but true; that women need to fear actual danger when meeting online male friends. Women have been raped (myself included); and worse walking into a man's home alone.

How about having your sister go with you for the game night? Just explain to Matt (or his mother) that you would feel more comfortable going to his place if you were not alone.

Paranoid? Perhaps; but self perseveringly so. Self respecting? Yep.

I agree with MountainLaurel. Be careful. If things are on the level, just relax, talk about your common interests, and play games.

She is taking me not sure if she is going to stay or not, hopefully it goes well.
