I don't want to give him my address... other options?

[Anonymous]

I've been talking to this guy for a few months but he lives across the country. We've never met but he's incredible (From what I can tell)... My birthday is coming up and he said he wants to send me something. Obviously for him to send me something, he'll need my address...

I don't think he has any ill intentions, but you never know when it comes to people... I would appreciate anyone's opinion on this.. I'm not sure as to what I should do...

Be safe, don't give him the address. Tell him you appreciate the thought and leave it at that.

If he insists, tell him the obvious that you've never met and can't trust that he isn't a rapist or whatever. And then hope he'll understand. If he doesn't then that's his issue.

Just give the address of your distant neighbor.

meet a guy in person through friends and you won't have to fear he is rapist/murder..

Probably the best option would be to get a po box at your local post office. he can send something there. Or ask your parents if he could send it to their work.
