I mean a young adult... about 22 years old. Would you ever chat with a teen who is only 17 years old? Why or why not?

If so, why would you ask for a picture of him or her? (especially when he claims to live like a thousand miles away from me)

I am asking because this is the situation I am in. I met a seemingly nice guy online who claimed to be 22 and was able to talk his life with me. He seemed to be very nice. At the end of the chat, he asked for a picture of myself. I asked why and he he says just to see what I look like. Just getting to know who I was... I said no and he just left it and didn't force me to do anything.

Should I be concerned or not? Is this normal? It was my first time on a chatroom.

oh and he calls me "sweety". that means bad intentions, right?
 
When chatting with guys you need to be careful. Don't send pics. nothing wrong with chatting, if it turns into a sex talk that is your que to exit. Don't worry about things too much and just remember no pics or sex talks. You will be fine. I do not believe in meeting people from the net and I am one of these who prefer to see people up front and close when I talk with them. But, that is only in real life in the place where I live. One still has to be awear of strangers in meeting. The computer is nice but you really don't know anyone here. Take care of your self and this is the same advise I gave to my kids. a mom
 
That seems really shady. Since you only met him online, I wouldn't give him any pictures or personal information like your address or phone number. He may seem nice, but even a 50 year old pedophile can be nice if he wants something from you. He may not be who he says he is no matter how old he is.

Just don't talk or contact him anymore and stick to guys you know from school and are your own age.

Be safe!
 
Well, I presume I'm talking to a teen right now, And therefore do it all the time through Yahoo Answers. This is a tough call at this point. It's a shame we live in a world where you would have to think like that. I'd say, be wary. Is "sweety" something a 22yr old would use a lot? If you run across him again, see if you can get his address or phone number, or some way to find him just in case. And verify it. If he's reluctant, then red flag this guy, tell everybody you know, and talk to your folks or a teacher you trust, etc, and see what they recommend..."Let's be careful out there"....Take care!...
 
I wouldnt trust him. If he left becuz u told him u didnt want to send a picture of urself then he most likely is bad.. most men (in the 20-40's) mostly around there arnt good..and he calls u sweety? then he prob jus wants to use u. i say stop talking to him. but its ur decision.. but the part where he leaves cuz he didnt c a picture of u.. well that has issues.. not good ones either..
