I don't want to sound like your mom, but you never know a person till you live with them.

I've had several online boyfriends and meeting them in person has almost always been disappointing.

I would need more information in order to be able to help a little better.

Okay - so most of all I'd like to say, you are in high school aren't you? 17? 18? 19 even? How old is he? When you say you had some bumps in the past, what do you mean by that?

I honestly don't want you to get there either. He may be a nice guy - but what if his dad is a rapist?!

Now, I think that you are going to find a way to meet him either way, and if your mom wants it to be under her terms - she has to let him come over to you.

I'm not trying to sound like your mom - I just want you to be careful. Since you are are going to go either way... bring a can of mace with you.
