Okay, this is going to sound really strange, probably weird. There's this girl, she lives in the same city as I do. We met online on a social networking site where she found me. We started writing on each other's wall (scrapbook). Eventually we added each other to messenger's buddy list. After a few weeks of chatting online, we exchanged phone numbers. There is no day now when we don't talk to each other on phone, sometimes for hours. We connect, relate to each other and everything, but we've never met.
We've arranged to meet up next week. Where do you think this is going? Is it safe? Is it going to work? What should I do to make it work, coz meeting up someone in person can be very different from chatting on phone. And what gift should I get her the day we meet, its a special occasion.
Strange Relationship?
dress up in a nice striped shirt and whatever pants u want. it may not be safe. maybe it is though. you never know. if she sounds normal on the phone,most likely she is. get her chocolates or flowers,
Reply:Bring her flowers, it can work, but I have done the on line dating thing, connected REALLY well over the phone and then found that there was nothing there when we met in person.
A nice bouquet of mixed flowers would be a good idea.
Good luck!
Reply:you are right, it does sound strange. if you know something about her, then sure go out with her, but if you don't know anything about her, it could be dangerous. try not to show that you are nervous. just kind of do the things that you would do on the phone. if you are going to give her something, give her a simple gift. maybe a flower, or a homemade cd. idk. but you've gotta relax and act natural around her.
Reply:Doesnt sound strange at all, I think it will be fine - meet in a fairly crowded place and just see how you get on. I did the same thing a few years ago and met about 8 women in the course of three weeks!! I ended up marrying one of them. We talked on the phone and IM'd one another for a while before we met although some of the ladies weren't as cautious and we met without speaking first. Dont take a gift - its making too much of the event I think - if you have chatted happily on the phone you shouldnt have any problems face to face - enjoy and relax, there is nothing to worry about.
Reply:Teddybear, cookies or flowers.
Don't worry yourself everything will be okay just be yourself when you meet her and everything should work out.
Reply:Bring the ring. This one sounds like the real thing!
Reply:dude....1st of dont give her anything more than a flower! no special gifts for someone you have known through almost only anonymous ways...
met her for something like dinner, where you can talk and look into each others eyes...but have something really fun prgrammed afterwards incase the night goes better than you can imagine...like going to a club and dancing...a great way to break the ice you know.
Reply:bunch of roses would do, sweety.. :)
Reply:some nice flowers would be nice
go meet her and see what happens, what is the worst that can happen
Reply:I'm not sure how safe meeting someone in person is when you've only ever spoken over the phone and whatnot. I'm not saying it isn't safe, but you never know in this day and age. If you feel this could result in a potential relationship, then go for it. It could work out but both of you have to put the effort in equally. I would bring a simple gift, maybe a small bouquet of flowers (NOT roses) or a nice assortment of chocolates. Keep it simple, be safe and good luck. Also, if you're still unsure, there are web sites where you can run a background check on someone to see if they have a criminal record. I know it sounds extreme, but isn't it worth the peace of mind?
Reply:bring her flowers or chocolate. if you really like her, bake her something, she might like you even better for that.
internet dating is always kind of iffy. i would say just be on alert or something, because she might end up being way, way older than you.
p.s. wear good clothes and take a shower before you go
Reply:flowers
Reply:You can take her flowers for a nice gift, or a less cliche gift would be a book of some sort that you really like...and just tell her it's your favorite and you'd like her to read it so you guys can talk about it together. Obviously you want to meet in a public place, like a coffee house or a restaurant. Getting a drink is always a good choice because in the event that things are awkward you can both just leave after a drink or so, but if they're going well you can get a table and have dinner.
If talking on the phone and online has turned out so well, just be yourself and I'm sure that everything will fall into place.
Reply:Meet in a busy public place.. and be yourself..that's why she likes you in the first place... Make sure you pay for dinner or drinks or whatever...if you believe in that... have fun and good luck
Reply:Go with it....
Reply:It depends on how comfortable you are with the situation... If your comfortable but nervous, go for it.. But in a pulic place... Bring her some colorful roses...Flowers are okay.. But colorful roses are not expensive and they brighten up a girls day.......
Reply:Well you never know where true friends or love can be found, so go meet her with a good attitude and a great smile.
A public place would be better...just in case. And when you're with her ask and talk about the things she already told you in the chat, as there's a good chance that someone could play Cyrano and send a different person!
That's just to be sure, and once you're sure she's who she says she is then try to find the good things in her (this time in person) and you're on your way!
Yes, flowers are always a great gift.
A good half a dozen of different coloured flowers that suggest: I'm very exited to know you, I know this is weird but I also know this can turn to be great!
Good Luck!
Reply:Exotic flowers (for something different)
and meet in a public place...like Starbucks so you all don't feel unsafe. :)
Good Luck!
Reply:Just grab some italian food and give her some flowers. Other than that, it's like meeting anybody else! Hope she's as cute as her avatar! (lol)
Reply:I have done the on line dating thing for a while now, and as long as you (and she) have been open and honest about yourselves from the beginning you have the opportunity to build a real lasting relationship. Don't be nervous just be yourself.
A single rose is always a good, safe choice for a nice relatively inexpensive gift for someone your meeting for the 1st time. If you are trying to impress then go for jewelry - a nice necklace %26amp; earing set is a good choice.
Reply:i think she really wants to meet you its prolly safe if you have been talking on the phone alot just in case i would have some one trail kinda behind you to where they dont look like their following you but they can jump in whenever it will prolly work jewelry is always good to get her or chocolate or flowers always take your cell
Reply:I had a similar thing happen to me. She said she was a nurse and everytime we were supposed to meet she never shoed. One day a guy showed up in her place and we had coffe and talked about her. To make along dtory short it turned out the guy was really her. The voice really thru me. I had spent hours sometimes all night talking to "her" and was really hurt.
This may not (I hope) be what's going on with your lady. Maybe she is busy or just shy. Play it safe and show up. I suggest bringing a single flower (not a rose) mabe a carnation and a sweet card. But show up if not you will always wonder, Good luck my friend I hope evrything works out for the best :)
Reply:Well who knows if it will work you have to MEET her first! Just be cool and dont show her that your nervous. Bring her some flowers that would be very NICE!!
Good Luck!

What cities should we ad to our web site?
We started a online classifieds and social networking web site, http://www.nyposting.com/ and have established an online presence in the NY area. Many users have told us to add new cities to our list. What cities should we add? What cities would benefit from a product like this?
What cities should we ad to our web site?
You need to add as many New York cities as you can. Start working on adding all of the major ones first then work your way down to the smaller one's. I wouldn't leave not one city untouched. It may be tedious work, but it will help you reach more people.
Reply:Craigslist already rules most cities. Try creating something more unique.
Reply:Tokyo AND MUMBAI
You'll be rich in no time

Chicago, I can run it for you.

Why do people think...?
Why do people think I care about their animals? Some people seem to think their interest in their own pets extends to everyone they meet. I'm not talking about people who have a healthy social life and happen to love their pets. I'm talking about the people who plaster 20 photos of their cats' faces and stupid nicknames all over online forums and social networking sites. What is the obsession with animals?
Why do people think...?
They don't think you care. They are just nutso over their animals and want everyone to know how proud they are of "fluffy" and "pookie". Many times these people don't have much of a social life and their animals are the only ones who keep them company ..other than their online friends who tell them how cute their animals are and to keep posting pics..unless its like a vet website, or something to do w animals..

If this is indeed possible, i.e. so many goodies without paying a paise, I would honestly welcome it and grab it with both hands. My expereience says that what is usually advertised as free, has hidden costs. And many a service starts out with a lot of freebies to entice customers only. Once these companies have what they want, all the services start coming with charges and often exorbitantly. We all realise that today it is not possible to offer anything free of cost. So somewhere or somehow customers are being made to pay or will be made to pay for the services used. But if the charges are at least manageable, then why not?
As for mobile social networking, most persons would usually prefer chat services with friends and connections. Other than that if the services enable internet searching, so much the better. I understand that the premium downloads mentioned in the question largely refer to ringtones and things like that. If it specifically includes games and music files (preferably video) that would be a great package. In BSNL (Cellone), one doesn't have to pay for GPRS (or for that matter WAP, I guess) connection. Nor does it charge any rentals. The charges are only for the downloads. A detailed discussion on the offers would be more helpful to decide whether the new service would be more cost effective than the others already existing in the market.
Reply:honestly to keep it short, it would be exactly like a laptop with internet and a phone all built in one.
Reply:This could happen, but it is a long way off just because everything you would like to see in it requires a lot of bandwidth that isn't available right now. I'm happy being able to make a call and access the internet.

How much can the internet help in bringing people...?
How much can the internet help in bringing people together, with social networking and online matrimonials (for I don't know who).
On the flipside how much is it destructive, if it is to someone who's gotten serious on things?
How much can the internet help in bringing people...?
the internet can help in bringing people together , there are enough matrimonial sites to prove that.man is social by nature. that's why we keep developing new methods of communication. also, like in a 3D videogame called life not everyone we meet is archangel gabriel, similarly there are enough weirdos on the net. it can be very destructive for some people who get preyed on by weirdos who are into paedophilia and stuff, but the net and normal life are just parallels, you meet the great the good the bad the ugly everywhere

Is it easier to express yourself online?
like on social networks such at MySpace or Facebook? are you able to say things to people that you wouldnt say to them in person?
i find that im a lot friendlier and open online. i give compliments freely and am able to tell people how much i like them.
why do you think this is?

We all have alter egos that we hide away from everyone and never let it out. Some mean people are really nice when they don't put on the show. Some old people want to be young and cant get people to talk to them because they are old. On line things change and people tend to find a happy medium there. I'm not saying that it OK all the time but no harm no foul on line. No one has to look into your eyes and see the fear of rejection that lays deep inside them. No one looks at you because you are re flirting with a older guy or young girl and if you keep it clean and safe that the heck can happen. So i think the answer to your question would be yes because we can freely say thing we normally would not even dream of saying. hope this helped and good luck
Reply:Hi Zing, We don't have to be face to face with them, so we are more freely with what we say.And i usually mean what i say to people online and it's always good. No matter if we seen then or not we need to be nice about what we say. Treat them like you want to be treating...

What is the best free software to web design?
and where can I get it? It needs to be appropriate for building an Online Community/Social Network
What is the best free software to web design?
You should never resort to "WYSIWUG" editors, such as FrontPage, despite what some above poster said. All you really need is a copy of notepad, or notepad++ (but generally any text-editot would do)
I mostly just use notepad, but at bigger projects i use notepad++ for syntax highlighting, and tabbed editing.
Actually the light-weight editors are to prefer, notepad++ is quite good, and it isen't pumped up with a bunch of unnecessary features, just to sell itself. (like a lot of commercial tools are).
(notepad++)
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/
Reply:Really there isnt, if you want a good host that gives you some awesome software when you sign up, use Lunarpages, they give you about $300 dollars worth of the web design software called Coffee cup, I use this myself along with another program called Antenna Wed Studio, its $60 but well worth it since its pretty much the simplest way to build webpages using WYSIWYG to build them. But if you are setting up your own site then look into Lunarpages, it rocks.
Reply:Your being a bit vague, but there are plenty of free scripts like PHPBB ( a forum), drupal, phpnuke(content management) that you can install on php/mysql enabled webspace.
Reply:there isnt a software ,but just logon to www.freewebs.com
Reply:check this : http://www.osalt.com/search?q=web+desgin...
Reply:Personally I prefer to just use a text editor but then I'm an experienced programmer. Unfortunately with web design software you get what you pay for and the best packages cost a lot of money, Dreamweaver for example.
Since you are looking for free software I'd suggest Nvu which will run on Windows, OS X or Linux and you can find it here:
http://www.nvu.com/
Reply:If you have no background in web development........
You better use Front page or Publisher. It provides a very interactive interface to work. Both these software are available as part of Office Package. Free trial software is also available to download from website of Microsoft Office Home website.
If you want to create a dynamic pages....

What is the best free software to web design?
You should never resort to "WYSIWUG" editors, such as FrontPage, despite what some above poster said. All you really need is a copy of notepad, or notepad++ (but generally any text-editot would do)
I mostly just use notepad, but at bigger projects i use notepad++ for syntax highlighting, and tabbed editing.
Actually the light-weight editors are to prefer, notepad++ is quite good, and it isen't pumped up with a bunch of unnecessary features, just to sell itself. (like a lot of commercial tools are).
(notepad++)
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/
Reply:Really there isnt, if you want a good host that gives you some awesome software when you sign up, use Lunarpages, they give you about $300 dollars worth of the web design software called Coffee cup, I use this myself along with another program called Antenna Wed Studio, its $60 but well worth it since its pretty much the simplest way to build webpages using WYSIWYG to build them. But if you are setting up your own site then look into Lunarpages, it rocks.
Reply:Your being a bit vague, but there are plenty of free scripts like PHPBB ( a forum), drupal, phpnuke(content management) that you can install on php/mysql enabled webspace.

Reply:Personally I prefer to just use a text editor but then I'm an experienced programmer. Unfortunately with web design software you get what you pay for and the best packages cost a lot of money, Dreamweaver for example.
Since you are looking for free software I'd suggest Nvu which will run on Windows, OS X or Linux and you can find it here:

Reply:If you have no background in web development........
You better use Front page or Publisher. It provides a very interactive interface to work. Both these software are available as part of Office Package. Free trial software is also available to download from website of Microsoft Office Home website.

Best free Web Design software?
and where can I get it? I am not experienced in web design, but I am a fast learner. I need software that will help me in building an Online Community/Social Network.
Best free Web Design software?
This depends on what you want to do. If you want to create an Online Community/Social Network like MySpace, don't bother. You're years from even understanding the concepts... trust me.
HOWEVER, look up Ning.com, which may suit your needs to a T.
Google BLUEFISH. This is a free editor, who gives you sort-of what you want for free.
If you still want the freetard way of learning Web Design, here's a headstart way: Go to your library, pick up any Web Design starters book. They have written entire books on the tiniest aspects of design, code, security, etc. Be sure to spend a few minutes on those concepts.
Sorry, man, I hate to disappoint ya, but there is NO EASY OR FREE WAY of doing this.

How can we best teach our kids to be streetwise and safe when they’re online?
Messaging, social networking and other internet services offer children and young people fantastic opportunities to express themselves, be creative and develop new skills. But kids can sometimes share too much information about themselves in order to be ‘cool’ online and people they communicate with may not be who they say they are. How do we get kids to take these risks seriously without taking the fun out of the internet?

How can we best teach our kids to be streetwise and safe when they’re online?
i don't think that sharing information about themselves would make them 'cool' - sharing an address or whatever doesn't give you kudos i wouldn't have thought.
parents need to ensure that they know what there child is doing, yes, you can use things like net nanny and those sorts of things but they aren't really any substitute for a parent sitting down with their child and using the computer together.
you don't mention how old the 'kids' are you're talking about, until children are at an age where they understand the risks associated with internet use they should not be left alone to roam the web freely.
it's a learning process as with anything else - you wouldn't let a young child out to wander around the streets on their own, first you teach them how to stop at the kerb, how to look for traffic, about stranger danger and when they're old enough and understand the dangers you let them go round the corner to the shop on their own (probably while spying on them!). it's the same with internet access - it's about parents being responsible.
Reply:The best way to teach our children is to spend quality time with them and give them one to one guidelines when using the internet and point out to them the danger areas when they get near them. Unfortunately us adults have all learned by our mistakes but in the climate we now live in it is to dangerous to allow them to do this.
Reply:I think the starting point is for parents to start taking the internet's social side more seriously, there are far too many who just brush it off as just a white/black/grey box in the corner the kids use. I can't see any child taking advice from an adult who hasn't got a clue what they are on about, children aren't as clueless or short sighted as quite a few adults seem to think and your average 8 to 14 year old fully understands that mum and dad doesn't know the first thing about computers.
Reply:You wouldn't let your child wander around the country by themselves and the same should apply to the internet, be aware of where your child is going on the net and monitor what they are doing and who they are talking to, just as you would in real life. Do not use the computer as a babysitter, it is an excellent tool but also a clever and sly seducer - check where the children are going on the net and where they have been - also be comp savvy yourself so that the kids can't be less that honest with you about what they are doing on the internet - if you can't be bothered to learn about it yourself maybe you shouldn't have one n the house. If your child is going to a friends house and using their comp, be sure that the parents are aware and keeping an eye on whats happening.
Reply:i think that by explaining the fact
that everyone whatever age they are
has to be conscious about security
be it personal info or financial info
whilst on the Internet and indeed in real
life outside on the high street
is a important part of everyday life
and should always be taken seriously
and explain a big amount of your trust
in them as their parents is being given/shown
in letting them use the internet unaided
and more freedom to use the pc
will be given/awarded as the child shows he/she
can surf responsibly and carefully
write a list of 10 things not to do
and make the child adhere to them by
awarding/forfeiting how they use the computer
in accordance to how seriously they abide
by your 10 rules over a agreed period
of time.with a review maybe every 6 mnths or so.
Reply:As an experienced adult chatter in a recognised Chat Room, I have learned two things which I have passed to my teenage daughter.
Firstly, people on the internet can pretend to be anyone they want to be, can project a profile of either sex, any age they wish to be seen as and very much anything else you can think of. This is what children need to be told - you never know who you are really talking to, so always be on your guard and stay alert.
Secondly, if anyone wants to talk privately with you - you must ask yourself, what would they want to say that they can't say in front of others.
I think it is important not to alienate kids by presenting the internet as a dark place that results in them being unable to talk openly to parents, friends and family but to chat together about the wonderful opportunities available by having access to various learning and fun sites, along with being aware of the unfortunate possibilities of meeting unsavoury people.
Most kids with internet access already have good grounding on staying safe ie don't talk to strangers and certainly not meet people without adult supervision in the real world, and if they are reminded that this applies to the internet also, their instinct should come into play, with the support of open communication with parents in particular.
Reply:I have the PC in our living area so that I can monitor what they are up to also Parental Control, but as with every thing you can never be sure and only hope that you have made them aware of all the dangers. Sadly there are horrible people out there as we know who beyond my understanding make it their lifes work to come up will all kind of devious plans.We all try our best to stay one step ahead but it doesn't seem to be enough.
Reply:Common sense needs to be instilled in children, just like the days when we were told not to speak to strangers or accept lifts in strangers cars. These ideals just need to be altered for the internet age.
Simply .. Do not give out personal details, like phone numbers, address, postcodes etc. Do NOT allow children to assume sleazy names for ids and beware of use of Web-cams.
All common sense values.
Reply:Yeah ! About time we got one of these questions. Great stuff ! I heard someone say once that there are so many people who are on the internet - how do we know who is real anymore ?
It is crucial that any strategy to make kids savvy about safe internet use is that we don't talk down to them, we engage their interest, they pick up skills which they appreciate, ( because their confidence are boosted and they have a lot of fun at the same time. (The fun bit should be seen as just as important as the acquisition of skills, because that will encourage habit formation.)
One idea, ( you may well have it on your list already,) is to create a computer simulated game. The game presents real-life situations that have occured. ( Every situation should have a bio that they can refer to and compare their actions with real people as well as a reality check to see when and how things really happen or don't happen.)
Now, the internet is about making choices, right ? : When you are seaching for something, what are the best key words to punch in ? How does one website compare with another ? Is this person for real ? et.al Players choose a situation from a list that they feel is close to their own interests and needs or it might just sound interesting. They are given a finite number of choices of actions which unfortunately isn't what always happens in the real cyber world. ( Did I just say that ?) Now with every decision, as in life, there is a consequence of that decision. Such consequences occur because there is a cause/effect relationship and others occur because of chance. Consequences may be favourable or not - serious or trivial.Both senarios are programmed into the game. Levels are attained by successful, i.e. safe actions.
However, as a rider to this suggestion : The game should be designed for different age levels so that consequences not only reflect needs and interests but the age of the user. Issues raised in the game should relate to their needs and wants but formatted in such a way that the activities are appropriate to the maturity of the user.
Another idea is a kind of helpline that young people can access in order to make informed decisions. The cyberworld can be pretty lonely and even scary. Imagine being a child and multiply the intensity of the feeling by any factor. The helpline would provide accurate, easy to understand information and advice and it would be confidential. ( Who in their right mind would ask some of the questions we'd like to ask, if it got back to our parents ! - or someone else that knows us.) Sporting, musical, ( or whatever,) celebrities would openly openly sponsor your organization and goals to lend to your clients, the kind of credibility they would trust.
Hope that helped. Good luck with this. It's vital that you get to the growing number of younger users of internet services before the dark side does.
Reply:In order to be 'cool' . No, i dont think that IS why we do it. ( I presume you include teenagers like me in this!) What we say to be cool (actually, not me, but most) That we drink WKD and all that. When we share information it is just so that we can stay in contact with out friends etc. There should be limits on websites that 'children' under 18 cannot share there address, and where they live. Although a lot of teenagers do put e.g SW ENG or S Wales, or 'hell' (haha) I do agree that some are nieve in there giving out of information. But as i said above, if you restrict them teenagers will obviously break the boundaries, but if its PHISCALLY impossible, they can't.
Reply:http://www.pcpandora.com/ is a good peice of software to start with, although a teenager will realise it is there, they won't be able to bypass it unless they know the password.
Too many parents know too little about compters, they leave it up to their children to become the experts then complain that they don't know what their child is doing online. Parents need to learn, they need to keep their computer skills ahead of their childrens skills, otherwise they are simply abdicating responsability for their childrens' safety.
There are plenty of scare stories out there, keeping lines of communication open with your child and discussing what might happen is a necessity. More children will be harmed and abused though by adults they know, often in their own home. While not understating the danger of the internet parents need to make their children aware of dangers much closer to home. Again communication is the key. Children need to be able to approach their parents anytime about any subject. It's never too early to spend time just talking with and listening to your children.
The following website gives good practical advice for parents http://www.perverted-justice.com/guide/?...
Reply:I can remember years ago when we went to Saturday Morning Pictures and my Mum knew all about the 'strange' people that also went. The only thing that we were given was a 'hat pin' that we kept on our clothing and should a man try and touch us in the dark of the cinema, we would take the pin off our lapel and 'stab' his hand with it. We were made aware that there was a danger but we had not idea at the age of about ten exactly what that danger was! And I had my baby sister along with me to protect who is four years younger than me.
Kids grow up too fast these days. They have no real childhood in which to learn. They go from being an infant to being (or expected to be, at least) an adult, with all the knowledge that comes with it. Girls wear make-up at far too young an age. Sex education seems to start at about seven years old!
It is wrong to TEACH our kids to be 'streetwise.' It is something that they have to learn - and this can only be done through a proper 'growing up' cycle.
The internet can be a bad thing as well as good. Our young should not be sitting in front of a computer 'talking' to people, they should be out in the fresh air and really communicating! The internet for information is fine. The internet for communication is not good at all for the young! It probably isn't really good for adults, either!
If the kids really must use a computer for communication, then make sure that they are using email with people already known to them and their family.
Take a look at some of the abusive answers on Yahoo! This is a pretty safe site. If it can get that bad here, then I dread to think how bad it can get elsewhere!
Put kids where they belong - playing with Barbie dolls or tin soldiers! Play is a very valuable learning process.
Reply:On line children should not have to be aware but as there are perverts who scan the net for these children it is very hard.
I know the goverment are going to have all nickname of people who are on the sex offenders registar which is good but what about the ones that have not been caught/ the only way to monitor this is to be with your children when they are on the net but that still does not stop who may be on the other end. it is a a very hard task to stop this. I only hope they can succeed. The other way is to register people on a internet register that has to be filled in when they take out an internet cover like Broadband
and this shoould all apply for DNA everyone should be screened and from birth then unsolved crimes may be solved.
Its getting bad when we have to watch our children day and night but to keep them safe then so be it.
Reply:We as parents need to be involved and monitor what they do, as well as making them aware of the issues and implications of what they do on the internet. There is a brilliant team in america which is called the Isafe organisation, this has tutorials and explains a lot of stuff to parents in relation to the internet and also gives examples of situations that have arisen in the past, some sad and it also shows parents how easy it is for a child to be located by a number of different methods.
I have shown both of my children the examples on this site and we have discussed the issues with each other, i am happy that they are educated now and understand the implications of entering personal info over the internet.
Also there is a program named K9 web protection which is a very good free parental control application which allows you to customise how it works and gives you a bit more peace of mind.
I think most importantly any computer that a child is using should be situated where you as parent's can monitor it(living room) where you can check / take an interest whenever you wish to.
We have to protect the children and not just give them access to the internet and think how nice it is not to be disturbed by them!, i work on the principle that if they are quiet, they are probably up to no good.
Reply:Most kids nowadays just have friends from school on msn, or ppl they know. It all depends on how mature the child is. The internet allows things to be kept private and places such as msn allow you to block unwanted contacts, but it is the child who has to want this to actually do it. The option is there.
Personal details-wise, giving out names or e-mail addresses aren't too bad. E-mail addresses can be changed and names are common in this world. There is at least 15 John Smith's in the world. Birthdays aren't too bad either, minus the year. The only thing you should make sure that isn't on the internet is addresses. As long as every detail is from online, and can not go any further then online such as e-mail, things should be ok. But again, it really all depends on the child.
Reply:thank you very much, your advice is spot on,I always tell my son if you don't think something is right,do not respond to it,which I know he doesn't,and he can tell me if he isn't comfortable with anything,thank you,
Reply:Firstly, no-one has wanted to be cool, since Fonzie was on TV. It's like the motto "It's cool to be in school" to try and prevent bunking. The kids just look at it and go "eh?" Please try to keep up with the kids of today, Doc!
I am just brutally honest with my kids, I see no benefit in sugar coating it. Cases like the three men gaoled for planning to kill two girls in woods, serve as good ammunition with kids. "See? There are people like that in this world, and more so on the internet"
There is a saying "The Internet... where men are men, women are also men, and children are FBI agents"
Reply:you can install parental guides and all sorts of things but there comes a time when a child will explore past them boundaries and a good understanding between parent and child and a sort of little contract you go on the net but don't do any thing if these guides are broken take it away from them till they learn no kid can be taught to be street wise against these monsters they are bloody clever and a child i believe has a right to keep in touch with the modern world so maybe it is not the child who needs teaching but your self look up saftey and warning signs on the net Dave
Reply:Asking known paedophiles for their email addresses and passwords is akin to giving under-aged joy-riders a driving ban! IT WON'T STOP THEM! Why should they even be allowed anything less than public access to the internet, make them use a cyber cafe where they are more likely to be noticed behaving badly! If they HAVE to have internet access at home them make it a fixed IP address and monitor it or have the ISP limit it to essential web addresses only! That's another issue by the way, it's all well and good stopping paedophiles but the ISP's are still making money on the back of this, they should be forced to take more responsibility!
Reply:i think it is just common sense! but schools need to do alot more!
when i was at school(i left in 2004) we never once ever learned about the dangers of the Internet and the word paedophile was never mentioned, we all just knew. if kids are told and choose not to listen it's their own fault really, and if they don't know then why not! and as for all these perverts being free and in community's and becoming teachers, it's disgusting!
Reply:There is always a risk factor with the Internet,just like there is always a risk when children are out on the street!
By taking the time to speak to, and to advise, and to teach their children, parents can educate children to the dangers!
It's like the "don't talk to strangers" advice!
Establish a loving bond with your children, and they will respect and confide with you, and if they are contemplating something, they will come to you and ask advice!
Too many parents are indifferent to their children, and what they are doing, and that's when tragedy strikes.
Reply:simple, either ban pornography completely from society or make it extremely difficult for people to access it.
Reply:Being safe online isn't much different from being safe in the real world. The key is parental involvement and some straight talk between the parent and the kids. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has a great wealth of resources that will help a parent understand what the real dangers are.
http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/s...
Reply:It's really sad that common sense is no longer common!
Unfortunately many kids are too trusting online, whereas they wouldn't be in real life.
I remember being at school and having 'stranger danger' workshops where it was drilled into us that we mustn't talk to strangers at all or give out information about ourselves.
Schools could be doing far more to help kids be safe using the internet by applying workshops like these to online usage. After all, no parent can be with their child every second of the day, but hopefully good education by them in partnership with their schools should help them to stay safe online
Reply:When my grandson was about 8, I reminded him not to speak to strangers. he said....'what are strangers gran, I don't know what they are.'
I had to explain that they are people that you have never met before. I wonder how many other children think strangers are monsters or the like. I found it worrying.
Reply:It has recently been in the news that the Government is thinking of introducing to the curriculum, other languages for kids to learn/study, surly their IT studies should be upgraded in some way as to protect/educate/ understand better, the obvious risks while being on line, as well as essential parent involvement, who knows some parents might have their eyes opened with what the kids have learned about safety on line, the technology is out there, lets use the technology to beat these criminals etc.
Reply:In my opinion, if your child does unsafe things e.g. going to meet people they met over the internet, then they are either too young or to immature to be using the internet. Parents should teacher there children about sex offenders etc from an early age so they know right from wrong.
As a child i would never have been so irrisponsible.
Reply:There is only one real answer to this and it is a real bummer.....
You have to position the computer somewhere where you can monitor what is going on at all times. Anything else is a cop out. The kids will not appreciate it and would rather have it in their bedroom or some other private place but that is asking for trouble. You either trust them or monitor them!
Reply:I think the problem is the wider society. Magazines and tv shows are becoming increasingly sexualised with people thinking nothing anymore about topless celebrities or sex talked about everywhere, especially by the media. The problem is that kids are thinking that this is perfectly normal and don't want to be seen as uncool by their mates so will gladly talk to complete strangers online and comply to their demands to 'show their ****'. Also, there should be a bigger crackdown on porn websites as these fuel the desires of paedophiles who then use chat rooms and msn messenger to take advantage of young girls and boys.
Reply:To be honest, there is no way you can keep your kids 100% safe online, just as you cannot guarantee their safety in any other aspect of life. We all risk our lives whenever we step outside of the door, and certainly from this point of view, the internet is nothing like as dangerous as the real world.
If you don't ever want your children to see anything inappropriate, do not allow them internet access. It is that simple. If you want to allow your children to take advantage of the many good points of the internet, then you have to educate them, just as you do about the outside world.
Tell them that there are bad people who misrepresent themselves on the internet. Tell them there are inappropriate images, and be there to explain if such material is seen. Do not rely on parental controls or filters. Make sure they know to inform you if they see anything unusual or inappropriate. Make sure they know what this means. Tell them they must never disclose personal info. Anyone who pushes for it is not a friend. If they are too young to understand this, they require supervision.
Relatively speaking, the risks from the internet are tiny.
Reply:First of all I never told my children not to talk to strangers etc. I told them to tell me if they were going with anyone be it friend, neighbour or stranger. Even if they were going to play in a friend's house they had to tell me. It worked!!!
Could something similar be used on-line so that children were encouraged to talk to their parents about what they are doing on-line without the parents being too critical.
Not sure how it would work out these days. Parents have made their children grow up too fast

How can we best teach our kids to be streetwise and safe when they’re online?
i don't think that sharing information about themselves would make them 'cool' - sharing an address or whatever doesn't give you kudos i wouldn't have thought.
parents need to ensure that they know what there child is doing, yes, you can use things like net nanny and those sorts of things but they aren't really any substitute for a parent sitting down with their child and using the computer together.
you don't mention how old the 'kids' are you're talking about, until children are at an age where they understand the risks associated with internet use they should not be left alone to roam the web freely.
it's a learning process as with anything else - you wouldn't let a young child out to wander around the streets on their own, first you teach them how to stop at the kerb, how to look for traffic, about stranger danger and when they're old enough and understand the dangers you let them go round the corner to the shop on their own (probably while spying on them!). it's the same with internet access - it's about parents being responsible.
Reply:The best way to teach our children is to spend quality time with them and give them one to one guidelines when using the internet and point out to them the danger areas when they get near them. Unfortunately us adults have all learned by our mistakes but in the climate we now live in it is to dangerous to allow them to do this.
Reply:I think the starting point is for parents to start taking the internet's social side more seriously, there are far too many who just brush it off as just a white/black/grey box in the corner the kids use. I can't see any child taking advice from an adult who hasn't got a clue what they are on about, children aren't as clueless or short sighted as quite a few adults seem to think and your average 8 to 14 year old fully understands that mum and dad doesn't know the first thing about computers.
Reply:You wouldn't let your child wander around the country by themselves and the same should apply to the internet, be aware of where your child is going on the net and monitor what they are doing and who they are talking to, just as you would in real life. Do not use the computer as a babysitter, it is an excellent tool but also a clever and sly seducer - check where the children are going on the net and where they have been - also be comp savvy yourself so that the kids can't be less that honest with you about what they are doing on the internet - if you can't be bothered to learn about it yourself maybe you shouldn't have one n the house. If your child is going to a friends house and using their comp, be sure that the parents are aware and keeping an eye on whats happening.
Reply:i think that by explaining the fact
that everyone whatever age they are
has to be conscious about security
be it personal info or financial info
whilst on the Internet and indeed in real
life outside on the high street
is a important part of everyday life
and should always be taken seriously
and explain a big amount of your trust
in them as their parents is being given/shown
in letting them use the internet unaided
and more freedom to use the pc
will be given/awarded as the child shows he/she
can surf responsibly and carefully
write a list of 10 things not to do
and make the child adhere to them by
awarding/forfeiting how they use the computer
in accordance to how seriously they abide
by your 10 rules over a agreed period
of time.with a review maybe every 6 mnths or so.
Reply:As an experienced adult chatter in a recognised Chat Room, I have learned two things which I have passed to my teenage daughter.
Firstly, people on the internet can pretend to be anyone they want to be, can project a profile of either sex, any age they wish to be seen as and very much anything else you can think of. This is what children need to be told - you never know who you are really talking to, so always be on your guard and stay alert.
Secondly, if anyone wants to talk privately with you - you must ask yourself, what would they want to say that they can't say in front of others.
I think it is important not to alienate kids by presenting the internet as a dark place that results in them being unable to talk openly to parents, friends and family but to chat together about the wonderful opportunities available by having access to various learning and fun sites, along with being aware of the unfortunate possibilities of meeting unsavoury people.
Most kids with internet access already have good grounding on staying safe ie don't talk to strangers and certainly not meet people without adult supervision in the real world, and if they are reminded that this applies to the internet also, their instinct should come into play, with the support of open communication with parents in particular.
Reply:I have the PC in our living area so that I can monitor what they are up to also Parental Control, but as with every thing you can never be sure and only hope that you have made them aware of all the dangers. Sadly there are horrible people out there as we know who beyond my understanding make it their lifes work to come up will all kind of devious plans.We all try our best to stay one step ahead but it doesn't seem to be enough.
Reply:Common sense needs to be instilled in children, just like the days when we were told not to speak to strangers or accept lifts in strangers cars. These ideals just need to be altered for the internet age.
Simply .. Do not give out personal details, like phone numbers, address, postcodes etc. Do NOT allow children to assume sleazy names for ids and beware of use of Web-cams.
All common sense values.
Reply:Yeah ! About time we got one of these questions. Great stuff ! I heard someone say once that there are so many people who are on the internet - how do we know who is real anymore ?
It is crucial that any strategy to make kids savvy about safe internet use is that we don't talk down to them, we engage their interest, they pick up skills which they appreciate, ( because their confidence are boosted and they have a lot of fun at the same time. (The fun bit should be seen as just as important as the acquisition of skills, because that will encourage habit formation.)
One idea, ( you may well have it on your list already,) is to create a computer simulated game. The game presents real-life situations that have occured. ( Every situation should have a bio that they can refer to and compare their actions with real people as well as a reality check to see when and how things really happen or don't happen.)
Now, the internet is about making choices, right ? : When you are seaching for something, what are the best key words to punch in ? How does one website compare with another ? Is this person for real ? et.al Players choose a situation from a list that they feel is close to their own interests and needs or it might just sound interesting. They are given a finite number of choices of actions which unfortunately isn't what always happens in the real cyber world. ( Did I just say that ?) Now with every decision, as in life, there is a consequence of that decision. Such consequences occur because there is a cause/effect relationship and others occur because of chance. Consequences may be favourable or not - serious or trivial.Both senarios are programmed into the game. Levels are attained by successful, i.e. safe actions.
However, as a rider to this suggestion : The game should be designed for different age levels so that consequences not only reflect needs and interests but the age of the user. Issues raised in the game should relate to their needs and wants but formatted in such a way that the activities are appropriate to the maturity of the user.
Another idea is a kind of helpline that young people can access in order to make informed decisions. The cyberworld can be pretty lonely and even scary. Imagine being a child and multiply the intensity of the feeling by any factor. The helpline would provide accurate, easy to understand information and advice and it would be confidential. ( Who in their right mind would ask some of the questions we'd like to ask, if it got back to our parents ! - or someone else that knows us.) Sporting, musical, ( or whatever,) celebrities would openly openly sponsor your organization and goals to lend to your clients, the kind of credibility they would trust.
Hope that helped. Good luck with this. It's vital that you get to the growing number of younger users of internet services before the dark side does.
Reply:In order to be 'cool' . No, i dont think that IS why we do it. ( I presume you include teenagers like me in this!) What we say to be cool (actually, not me, but most) That we drink WKD and all that. When we share information it is just so that we can stay in contact with out friends etc. There should be limits on websites that 'children' under 18 cannot share there address, and where they live. Although a lot of teenagers do put e.g SW ENG or S Wales, or 'hell' (haha) I do agree that some are nieve in there giving out of information. But as i said above, if you restrict them teenagers will obviously break the boundaries, but if its PHISCALLY impossible, they can't.
Reply:http://www.pcpandora.com/ is a good peice of software to start with, although a teenager will realise it is there, they won't be able to bypass it unless they know the password.
Too many parents know too little about compters, they leave it up to their children to become the experts then complain that they don't know what their child is doing online. Parents need to learn, they need to keep their computer skills ahead of their childrens skills, otherwise they are simply abdicating responsability for their childrens' safety.
There are plenty of scare stories out there, keeping lines of communication open with your child and discussing what might happen is a necessity. More children will be harmed and abused though by adults they know, often in their own home. While not understating the danger of the internet parents need to make their children aware of dangers much closer to home. Again communication is the key. Children need to be able to approach their parents anytime about any subject. It's never too early to spend time just talking with and listening to your children.
The following website gives good practical advice for parents http://www.perverted-justice.com/guide/?...
Reply:I can remember years ago when we went to Saturday Morning Pictures and my Mum knew all about the 'strange' people that also went. The only thing that we were given was a 'hat pin' that we kept on our clothing and should a man try and touch us in the dark of the cinema, we would take the pin off our lapel and 'stab' his hand with it. We were made aware that there was a danger but we had not idea at the age of about ten exactly what that danger was! And I had my baby sister along with me to protect who is four years younger than me.
Kids grow up too fast these days. They have no real childhood in which to learn. They go from being an infant to being (or expected to be, at least) an adult, with all the knowledge that comes with it. Girls wear make-up at far too young an age. Sex education seems to start at about seven years old!
It is wrong to TEACH our kids to be 'streetwise.' It is something that they have to learn - and this can only be done through a proper 'growing up' cycle.
The internet can be a bad thing as well as good. Our young should not be sitting in front of a computer 'talking' to people, they should be out in the fresh air and really communicating! The internet for information is fine. The internet for communication is not good at all for the young! It probably isn't really good for adults, either!
If the kids really must use a computer for communication, then make sure that they are using email with people already known to them and their family.
Take a look at some of the abusive answers on Yahoo! This is a pretty safe site. If it can get that bad here, then I dread to think how bad it can get elsewhere!
Put kids where they belong - playing with Barbie dolls or tin soldiers! Play is a very valuable learning process.
Reply:On line children should not have to be aware but as there are perverts who scan the net for these children it is very hard.
I know the goverment are going to have all nickname of people who are on the sex offenders registar which is good but what about the ones that have not been caught/ the only way to monitor this is to be with your children when they are on the net but that still does not stop who may be on the other end. it is a a very hard task to stop this. I only hope they can succeed. The other way is to register people on a internet register that has to be filled in when they take out an internet cover like Broadband
and this shoould all apply for DNA everyone should be screened and from birth then unsolved crimes may be solved.
Its getting bad when we have to watch our children day and night but to keep them safe then so be it.
Reply:We as parents need to be involved and monitor what they do, as well as making them aware of the issues and implications of what they do on the internet. There is a brilliant team in america which is called the Isafe organisation, this has tutorials and explains a lot of stuff to parents in relation to the internet and also gives examples of situations that have arisen in the past, some sad and it also shows parents how easy it is for a child to be located by a number of different methods.
I have shown both of my children the examples on this site and we have discussed the issues with each other, i am happy that they are educated now and understand the implications of entering personal info over the internet.
Also there is a program named K9 web protection which is a very good free parental control application which allows you to customise how it works and gives you a bit more peace of mind.
I think most importantly any computer that a child is using should be situated where you as parent's can monitor it(living room) where you can check / take an interest whenever you wish to.
We have to protect the children and not just give them access to the internet and think how nice it is not to be disturbed by them!, i work on the principle that if they are quiet, they are probably up to no good.
Reply:Most kids nowadays just have friends from school on msn, or ppl they know. It all depends on how mature the child is. The internet allows things to be kept private and places such as msn allow you to block unwanted contacts, but it is the child who has to want this to actually do it. The option is there.
Personal details-wise, giving out names or e-mail addresses aren't too bad. E-mail addresses can be changed and names are common in this world. There is at least 15 John Smith's in the world. Birthdays aren't too bad either, minus the year. The only thing you should make sure that isn't on the internet is addresses. As long as every detail is from online, and can not go any further then online such as e-mail, things should be ok. But again, it really all depends on the child.
Reply:thank you very much, your advice is spot on,I always tell my son if you don't think something is right,do not respond to it,which I know he doesn't,and he can tell me if he isn't comfortable with anything,thank you,
Reply:Firstly, no-one has wanted to be cool, since Fonzie was on TV. It's like the motto "It's cool to be in school" to try and prevent bunking. The kids just look at it and go "eh?" Please try to keep up with the kids of today, Doc!
I am just brutally honest with my kids, I see no benefit in sugar coating it. Cases like the three men gaoled for planning to kill two girls in woods, serve as good ammunition with kids. "See? There are people like that in this world, and more so on the internet"
There is a saying "The Internet... where men are men, women are also men, and children are FBI agents"
Reply:you can install parental guides and all sorts of things but there comes a time when a child will explore past them boundaries and a good understanding between parent and child and a sort of little contract you go on the net but don't do any thing if these guides are broken take it away from them till they learn no kid can be taught to be street wise against these monsters they are bloody clever and a child i believe has a right to keep in touch with the modern world so maybe it is not the child who needs teaching but your self look up saftey and warning signs on the net Dave
Reply:Asking known paedophiles for their email addresses and passwords is akin to giving under-aged joy-riders a driving ban! IT WON'T STOP THEM! Why should they even be allowed anything less than public access to the internet, make them use a cyber cafe where they are more likely to be noticed behaving badly! If they HAVE to have internet access at home them make it a fixed IP address and monitor it or have the ISP limit it to essential web addresses only! That's another issue by the way, it's all well and good stopping paedophiles but the ISP's are still making money on the back of this, they should be forced to take more responsibility!
Reply:i think it is just common sense! but schools need to do alot more!
when i was at school(i left in 2004) we never once ever learned about the dangers of the Internet and the word paedophile was never mentioned, we all just knew. if kids are told and choose not to listen it's their own fault really, and if they don't know then why not! and as for all these perverts being free and in community's and becoming teachers, it's disgusting!
Reply:There is always a risk factor with the Internet,just like there is always a risk when children are out on the street!
By taking the time to speak to, and to advise, and to teach their children, parents can educate children to the dangers!
It's like the "don't talk to strangers" advice!
Establish a loving bond with your children, and they will respect and confide with you, and if they are contemplating something, they will come to you and ask advice!
Too many parents are indifferent to their children, and what they are doing, and that's when tragedy strikes.
Reply:simple, either ban pornography completely from society or make it extremely difficult for people to access it.
Reply:Being safe online isn't much different from being safe in the real world. The key is parental involvement and some straight talk between the parent and the kids. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has a great wealth of resources that will help a parent understand what the real dangers are.
http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/s...
Reply:It's really sad that common sense is no longer common!
Unfortunately many kids are too trusting online, whereas they wouldn't be in real life.
I remember being at school and having 'stranger danger' workshops where it was drilled into us that we mustn't talk to strangers at all or give out information about ourselves.
Schools could be doing far more to help kids be safe using the internet by applying workshops like these to online usage. After all, no parent can be with their child every second of the day, but hopefully good education by them in partnership with their schools should help them to stay safe online
Reply:When my grandson was about 8, I reminded him not to speak to strangers. he said....'what are strangers gran, I don't know what they are.'
I had to explain that they are people that you have never met before. I wonder how many other children think strangers are monsters or the like. I found it worrying.
Reply:It has recently been in the news that the Government is thinking of introducing to the curriculum, other languages for kids to learn/study, surly their IT studies should be upgraded in some way as to protect/educate/ understand better, the obvious risks while being on line, as well as essential parent involvement, who knows some parents might have their eyes opened with what the kids have learned about safety on line, the technology is out there, lets use the technology to beat these criminals etc.
Reply:In my opinion, if your child does unsafe things e.g. going to meet people they met over the internet, then they are either too young or to immature to be using the internet. Parents should teacher there children about sex offenders etc from an early age so they know right from wrong.
As a child i would never have been so irrisponsible.
Reply:There is only one real answer to this and it is a real bummer.....
You have to position the computer somewhere where you can monitor what is going on at all times. Anything else is a cop out. The kids will not appreciate it and would rather have it in their bedroom or some other private place but that is asking for trouble. You either trust them or monitor them!
Reply:I think the problem is the wider society. Magazines and tv shows are becoming increasingly sexualised with people thinking nothing anymore about topless celebrities or sex talked about everywhere, especially by the media. The problem is that kids are thinking that this is perfectly normal and don't want to be seen as uncool by their mates so will gladly talk to complete strangers online and comply to their demands to 'show their ****'. Also, there should be a bigger crackdown on porn websites as these fuel the desires of paedophiles who then use chat rooms and msn messenger to take advantage of young girls and boys.
Reply:To be honest, there is no way you can keep your kids 100% safe online, just as you cannot guarantee their safety in any other aspect of life. We all risk our lives whenever we step outside of the door, and certainly from this point of view, the internet is nothing like as dangerous as the real world.
If you don't ever want your children to see anything inappropriate, do not allow them internet access. It is that simple. If you want to allow your children to take advantage of the many good points of the internet, then you have to educate them, just as you do about the outside world.

Am i being unreasonable asking my gf not to meet random guys online?
My girlfriend uses all those social networking sites, she puts up pictures of herself look really hot, and obviously loads of guys add her as a friend and she always excepts them even tho she doesnt know them! They flirt with her shamlessly and she still gives them her IM addresses, she says they arent flirting and that im being over the top and too jealous, but these guys tell her how much they miss her if she isnt online some guys tell her they lover her and she doesnt seem to understand that this upsets me! I know she isnt gonna do anything with these guys, i assume she just does it cos she likes the attention, but she gets really pissed off when i tell her that it makes me feel uncomfortable, especially when these guys start telling her they lover her and that they miss her and stuff like that! Am i being unreasonable asking her to not talk to all these random guys?

If not, tell her to do it. Does she like to flirt with guys in person? If not I don't think you need to worry, because you can't do anything by web but I understand that it bothers you.
To know really how she is, why don't you make a fake profile with a good looking pic of some other guy and talk to her to see if she even mention you or what she really say to them.

Reply:look she is not doing any thing wrong and she is only talking to people to make freinds i mean if you really want to know if she is trying to see somebody dont you think she would quit hanging out with you and act like she is busy also when she is busy on the innernet does not count. if you want to know how to find out if she is truly cheating on u than email me and i will tell yo because i need to hear the details because the way you both are making it look is like your being over reactive and she is being neglective and stuff so if you need help email me
Reply:I just read your gf's question. Go fight about it at home, don't bring your problems on yahoo answers. You're saying something completely different from her tho. You guys need to talk it out. Just tell her how you feel about her advertising herself on all those websites.
Reply:absolutely not! To me, this seems the same as meeting random guys at a bar or some other place like that. She's probably insecure and likes the attention of other guys telling her how goodlooking she is but that is completely unacceptable and unfair to you. She shouldn't need any other men telling her she's attractive and they love/miss her than you.
Reply:no way are you being unreasonable,
sure she deserves her privacy but shes basically cheating on you.
shes being extremely selfish, to say the least.
Reply:no your not...shes looking around and thats not fair to you or your feelings. Loose her shes trouble.
What should my mom do when my dad is flirting and chatting with women online recently?
At first my dad put up a profile on a social networking site, pictures of whole family, then he met other childhood friends and decided to communicate with them. Which is fine, but he works from home and spends all his time online while my mom is not home. My mom found emails between him and some lady from overseas who he met on that website. She confronted him, and he said it was all innocent just friends. Then he moved all conversations with this lady to his private email from the social website. My mom knows his password and she found his email where he tells this lady to give him her phone number so he can call her. My dad travels to overseas a lot for business without my mom too so my mom is worried. So If my mom confronts him, he will know she checks his email. I don't want this to get into a big feud as I am getting married in a few months and I don't need this right now. But my mom is very upset. How should she tell him to stop? He may continue this behind her back. Any idea
What should my mom do when my dad is flirting and chatting with women online recently?
It's nice that u'r mom can find a showlder to lean on .. you just seport her but don't talk to your father they have to solve it by themselves and it's better to stay out of it that time.. i think your mother should simply ask him how his friends are and see if he'll talk about it of try to egnore the Q and avoid it.. then it means something!!
Reply:he is being quite secretive with his innocent friends....your mom has a good reason to be suspicious....you best speak with your father or you may see them heading for divorce court after your big day...
Reply:First of all this is none of your business. Your Mom need s to decide how and when she will handle this. If will only create havoc in your relationship with both of them.

How can i make friends with women online? (women only)?
Im not very good making friends with people my own gender so i would prefer talking to women, problem is when you send them messages online, it seems like 80% will think "he just wants to have sex with me, i will ignore him" - im not like that. Im not a bad looking lad i have been told many times so i dont believe there is a problem there. All i need really is some help on how to talk to you women... Say you had a profile on a populat social networking site and a guy messaged you, what would you want the message to say if you just wanted to make a friend? what would you not want the message to say? thanks
How can i make friends with women online? (women only)?
Ask if she has IM and go from there. I've met people that way and turned out to be decent friends. Ask questions but not too personal and see what happens.
Reply:you should start has just saying a friendly hi and yes I am a girl so if you ever gust want to talk just pop in and say hi

Where can I find good salesmen and affiliate marketers online and offline?
Ok the good news. I found a real online business online legit business thanks to a webmaster that gave me some info on how he does it. But i come into a small problem. Ok the program is free to join, legitimate, sells actuall products like t-mobile phones, webservices, direct tv, life lock identity theft protection and so on right? anyway we are allowed to build a sales team but i am having a time trying to get people to join. (experienced networkers that is.) I Mean for crying out loud, its a free program to join and you can make residuals off the sales, why are people still falling for the scams rather than something thats legit and real? I tried social networking sites and tried to tell them my aim to provide a no fee home based business to me, but instead they blow off my oppurtunity to try to sell me a rip off that cost between 200 or 500 bucks. Mostr of the so called products thry have you cant even sell to some individuals. Am i going about this wrong?

What are the points of Social Networks such as myspace?
I am 14 and I don't understand what the point of social networks are.I have alot of friends who are on them and I don't see how they waste their time on them.I mean,people get their ''hook'' up on them and it ends up in heartbreak because there is a chance that you might never see that person in real life other than a meer picture.Also,people that you meet online don't really exist since you don't know them personally.Well that is my view.Can someone tell me what are they for other than bussiness purposes?Thankx ^_^
What are the points of Social Networks such as myspace?
Well,I dont understand them either and you are very right about the points that you stated.It is nothing but a fantasy land and you can't really date online unless you are older because if you are younger,there is a chance that you will be able to visit that person and be visited by that person.

I can't maintain online friendships. Why?
It's hard for me to continue posting to a livejournal or be actively involved in any type of online community. At some point I always feel ousted/rejected by the people I've come to consider "online friends." I'd rather just cut off all ties than try to mend these relationships, no matter how longstanding. I always feel as if there are some strange internet social networking protocols that I am unconsiously violating.
I can't maintain online friendships. Why?
Humans evolved to have friendships with people that we see every day, people we talk to face to face and hang out with. The Internet has only existed for a decade or so. It puts people in social situations that we have no prior experience with, trying to maintain relationships with people whom you may never even have actually seen.
Reply:I can't even maintain normal friendships...
Reply:it happens. try not to get too attached to the people you "meet" online. you never know if they are really who they present themselves to be... its so easy to lie or to put on a "persona" when you are online.
just have fun and take things light!!
Reply:Try to make real off line friends and learn what works and doesn't from them. If you want to keep trying on line as well then borrow from your "real world" experience.
Reply:online is not place for true friendship.
it is for fun, not for serious things.
Reply:If you don't have the time to interact on line. Maybe you have too many groups. Start one of your own,and invite the people you consider friends to join.
Reply:What you have is not friendship. It is a group of anonymous strangers. Please practice your social skills and make friends in the real world that you can be involved with online too. Those are the friendships that endure.
Reply:I disagree - online can be the place for friendships. You can make a connection with someone whether they are on the other side of the world or in your lounge room.
Perhaps its just easier for you to sever ties because you do not have to physically interact with these people. And thats ok too... Are these patterns evident in your other friendships?
Reply:Some day it will click for you.
Reply:When it cimes to online friendships you'll most likely stop talkin to that person because when most peolpe meet new people online they are usualy in different states and probple don't get on the computer as much to socialize with online friends because they may have lots of other frienda were they live.
Reply:don't fret this is a common thing.
i do the same exact thing.
i know many at work who suffer this also.
i can't explain it, maybe it's because this is so not tangible and we can't really see them or feel them so it's not real to us?
?
there's a number of explainations i know.

Payment Web 2.0 / social network - I don't remember the website!?
I'm looking for a web 2.0 / social network I heard about that allows people to keep track of payments to your friends, roommates, etc.
I'm moving into an apartment with some other roommates and I know this online system I heard about can keep track of who owes who what, instead of trying to remember all those IOUs. It keeps track of who owes who for groceries, cable, internet, etc...
But the problem is, is that I don't remember what the website is called!
Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Can 50,000 budding entrepreneurs manage a corporation better than experienced CEOs?
I have come across a rather interesting website, http://www.gogme.biz , it is attracting 50,000 aspiring entrepreneurs from all over the world to own and manage a business entity over the internet. I’ve summarized the interesting parts from the website:
Gogme.biz facilitates anyone who aspires to be an entrepreneur to own and manage a business entity together with thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs around the world.
Join the first global entrepreneurial initiative, Gogme Learning Alfa where entrepreneurs can learn entrepreneurship through ownership, online participation, social networking, decision-making, interacting with business mentors, managing businesses via a business excellence framework and getting explicit business knowledge of various industries. 100% of the profits will be distributed back to the entrepreneurs according to their initial startup contribution.
Do you think it can be achieved?

Can 50,000 people agree on anything? And where are they going to get all the donuts?

Interview with people who socialize online...?
I have to do an interview with someone whom regularly socializes through online networking (myspace, facebook, etc.) but none of my friends use them. Can anyone give me a few shorts answers regarding these questions:
-The amount of time they typically spend on such sites and what they tend to do while there (e.g. browse profiles, blog, chat, etc.)
-Whether they tend to interact online with people that they already knowor seek out new relationships.
-What benefits they receive from their interations with others.
-Whether they ever had a negative/unpleasent social interaction in cyberspace
-Whethere they expect their use of online interaction to change over the next 5 yrs.
Thanks for your time! (No personal information is necessary)

I'm trying to quit the habit. At the worst I spent almost all the time that I was awake there. That's 15 to 20 hours a day. I cut back to 8 hours and then 5 hours and now I log on for an hour or so every other week.
My "poison" has always been the forums and my favorite site had plenty of them. What was discussed in the forums "spilled out" and lived on in private groups and blogs. I looked up profiles to see who the persons I was in discussion were, but the most important thing was the discussion.
I've also been multi tasking all along, keeping an eye on the forums and friends while working on other things at the same time.

Mental stimulation most of all. Interacting with others online is far better that watching TV all day. You keep learning and expanding your mind in a way that you don't do in front of the telly. As an example, my English was terrible when I started out online. I'm serious I was a terror. The friends that I've made over the years have helped me with my English and today most readers won't notice that English isn't my first language.

Personal attacks, flame fests, groups of persons ganging up on me, stalkers, online identity theft, theft of photos and other creative art materials... I've pretty much experienced it all. I've learned to not take it personal, learn from it, put it behind me and move on.

Always. I'm constantly changing and moving on to new things. If I don't change then it means that I've stopped thinking and growing and I'd hate it if that happened.

Yahoo social network?
If Yahoo 360 a blog creation tool/service,/social network then what is Yahoo Geocities for? Shouldnt I be able to publish online documents/HTML pages in 360 then include Yahoo's Text ads from YSM, be able to create and share and send documents/drawings to Group members (yahoo groups) and messenger contacts?
Yahoo social network?
Yahoo 360 and Geocities are both services you receive when you sign up for a Yahoo account, both just need activation. Yahoo 360 is a social network that allows communication, finding new friends, searching for friends with similar interest, search by location, search by keyword etc. Yahoo 360 allows to create blogs so your readers can see whats going on in your daily life. Its easy to do. Yahoo Geocities is a service where you can create your web space, like a web sight. Its a little harder then Yahoo 360 as your dealing with HTML but they do offer easier things like page builder. Geocities can be used to allow others to see whats happening in you life, interest, or anything you want to include there's basically no limits. However unlike 360 with Geocities you cannot allow friends to be connected to the page.
Reply:You can make a social network with blogs, forums, and groups. My Space is also a good social network too.

Complimenting women?
I use a social network online where everyone sees each other's picture portrait. I decided to compliment a few women telling them how pretty they were. Out of 10 that I sent it to... only 4 responded... by saying thank you. When a woman responds back... does it show she think you're cute or is just answering the question?
Some have asked question to follow up. So ladies... what would you do if some random guy complimented you. If you found him attractive would you respond? If you didn't find him attractive would you still respond? Or would just reply to the email?
Complimenting women?
well me personally when ever a guy compliments me I say thank you just because I'm being polite. even if he isn't cute I still say it because it was very nice of him to compliment me! now if he tries to get closer to me and I'm not interested than I will tell him.
Reply:Even if he wasn't all that good looking, I'd have to respond out of common courtesy. As long as he wasnt ugly, I'd respond.
Reply:if he was attractive or not i would.. either way.. its a matter of respect.. its just like saying.. "i like your jeans" or "your skirt" you say "thank you."
i always answer back.
Reply:Personally if I get an email saying something nice I respond with thank you also, the person who sends it can look ????? however. I got a compliment I say thank you. Now if u send a email saying something that catches my eye and not just a your pretty.................I will check your pic and send what comes to mind. Be creative and don't put so much into the looks darlin.
Reply:As a form of courtesy, I would reply with a thank.
Reply:I respond even if there not cute that's out of respect! Truthfully, if they look nice I would say Thank you so how are you doing? If they are not cute I'll say thank you very much,and keep moving!
Reply:Ohhhh....compliments and flattery......It is always nice to be complimented for me even if the feeling is not mutaul and i usually am thankful at the thought that at least someone thinks i am pretty......with all the beautiful people going around....for an ordinary girl like me to get a compliment is something i am very thankful for and if it was me i would say thank you even if the feeling is not mutual. It is a way for me to tell the complimentor that i appreciate and am grateful for his or her compliments.
Reply:I would likely reply with a thank you whether or not I found him attractive. If I DID find him attractive, I would use his opening compliment as a way to initiate more conversation. But just saying thank you in reply, to me means that she's being cordial, but is not interested in conversing further.
Reply:Seriously, its the web. Any picture can be put up. In your case, I would never compliment on the web. Intelligence maybe but never looks...
p.s. sorry this man answered. couldnt pass up.
Reply:Women are attention whores! BUT if they say "thank you" I would think they are just being polite.
Reply:When a lady or gentleman is complimented then the appropriate response IS "thank you". It is not connected with how attractive they think the person who is compliimenting them is. Online, I would have to wonder how sincere the compliment is. Only say something if it is truthful.
Reply:personally, i would think he wants to get in my pants. i mean look at this, women get compliments everyday and 9 times out of 10 they just want sex,so now its hard to take a guy serious
Reply:online, I would say thanks regardless of my interest....in person, that would depend on how he said it, meaning the tone he used etc....
Reply:Honestly, I would reply and keep it simple, then check out their profile - that combined with their reply determines my next move if any.
but generally when a guys intro line is - hey ur cute, I know that they didn't read anything about me - they just saw a cute girl.
Reply:Maybe maybe not! She was probably taking a few minutes to respond with a thank you for taking the opportunity to observe her.
Reply:I always reply whether I am attracted to him or not. They took the time to compliment me so I think I should take the time to at least say thanks.
Reply:I ,personally, would not respond to anyone that I did not want to encourage.
