Is this guy a predator?

[Anonymous]

So I've been talking with this guy for a while, and he's super sweet and nice to me. He's like in his twenties or something though, and recently asked for my picture. I had my friend look at the messages, and she told me not to send the pic, but I did anyway. He just said to take off my mask in response. I only replied with "Why?"

My friend is really concerned over this, but this guy really helped me out when I was struggling, and has always been super supportive of me. What do you think of this?

Hi,
Your friend is right to be concerned and so should YOU. Your profile says you're under 18 and he's in his 20s? I have no idea what a 20 some year old man has in common with someone who's under 18 much less want or need their pictures. That raises a lot of red flags right off the bat. Don't send him ANY more pictures and certainly not with your mask off! A 20 something man knows not to be contacting children under 18. He's trying to take advantage of you or already has. What a sicko, I am so sorry this happened to you but you absolutely cannot be sending pictures of any kind to ANYBODY on the internet. Take this as a lesson learned and please.. block his ass and never talk to him or anybody his age ever again.

I hope all works itself out for you. That's a scary situation to be in. Remember, it's always nice to have someone supportive in our lives, but really supportive and true friends will never ask for anything in return. They do it because they want to see you happy. Not because they have ulterior motives or because it's a tallying game of "you did this for me, so I have to do this for you."

Where is HIS pic and then go from there mind you he might be using a fake picture like you might use fake one as well if you had talked about nothing sexual to you play it by ear your friend might be jealous.

Your friend was right. Older guys know how to fool you into trusting them, and then they ll take advantage of you.

How old are you?

[OlderAndWiser]

Did the picture he asked for involve any nudity?

[Asker]

No nudity, I'm fourteen

[Asker]

When I asked why he needed a picture, he said "I miss you and want to see you" which is weird bc I've never met him before and he claims to live in India whereas I live in America

[OlderAndWiser]

You should tell your parents what has happened. Trust me, YOU will not be in trouble with them.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, that is weird. That is a sign that this is not normal.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Totally agree with this

[This_is_my_username]

Older and wiser for the win!

[Nachowedgie]

Listen to this man, he is right

[Tyrael]

This is all sorts of red flags. Don't send this person anything else, he's not got your best interests in mind. Be cautious.

[Ironic_Method]

If you're 17 you miiiight have a leg to stand on, but chances are this guy is a predator taking advantage of young girls. Your friend is right.

Who gives a single shit what he did, ever heard of a thing called bait? It’s always better to NOT take risks. YOU STAY AWAY FROM THAT

[Gwenhwyfar]

Bad idea don’t do it
