Today, one of my online friends told me he's bought a plane ticket, so he can come visit me. I've told him multiple times before that I'm uncomfortable with this idea, but he keeps telling me to stop joking, and reminding me that he'll have no other place to stay. FML

For those who care, no, I didn't give him my address, I'm not an idiot. He just knows the city I live in, because I'm sure I've mentioned it during a group chat. He and I are NOT in a relationship in any way, shape, or form. I barely know him. He's had this weird obsession with me for a while. We talk about once every other day, and have two types of conversations. The most common is: 'Hi, how are you? Good? Glad to hear you're good. Have a nice day.' And that's it. The less common and more creepy is him asking: 'Can I buy you stuff? Can I have your address so I can send you stuff? Do you like jewelry? I'm going to come visit you ;)' He doesn't know my real name, nor do I know his. He doesn't know what I look like, only what I sound like on a mic. We only know each other through our gaming community, and nothing more. :/ I have broken all ties with him, and deleted him off my friends' list (because that's the ONLY way he could contact me). Dude needs to grow up and get his head checked.

Did you give them your address? If yes, YDI. If no, FML. I don't like giving out too much personal info to people online. There's a good chance they're not really who they say they are.

It's unfair and REALLY creepy for someone (especially a guy) to push a meeting--and staying at your place--not only without an invite but after you've told him you're uncomfortable meeting him. He clearly isn't going to respect you, and I'd be worried that he might get pushy in other ways if you met up--please don't let him stay with you no matter how much he guilt-trips you, and be careful if you meet him at all.

Wait, wait, wait... Why a guy especially? o_O Hey, pushy women can be really creepy too.

Pushy women can be creepy. However (not to say it never happens) they do not to my knowledge have quite the same wrap as men do when it comes to luring women, children, other men, off the net into meeting them and then drugging, molesting, raping, kidnapping, etc., etc., etc., them.

The one where they teach people to recognize a joke.

Give him your neighbor's address and watch things unfold from your window.

If you've seen Joy Ride then you'll know that it may have a bad ending.

Damn, now I guess I have to watch joy ride. It looked just like another one of the many B movies on Netflix, so I never checked it out.

It's pretty good, not the greatest Paul Walker movie but doesn't mean I haven't seen it a dozen times....

I've heard that the county jail offers free room and board, maybe he'd be interested in staying there a few nights.

That's hella creepy. Hope he doesn't know where you live , if so then obviously you trusted him enough to give it to him and it would be your fault for him to feel comfortable/confident enough to come visit you because im sure you guys have established some kind of relationship not , call the cops ASAP before he makes his way over.

1. Of course he knows where she lives. How would he catch a plane to her if he didn't know where she was? 2. I understand that OP probably invited this somewhat, but that doesn't mean she deserves it. 3. There's obviously a relationship? Would you care to point out where it indicates this? 4. The rest of your comment is also stupid.

First, he could know the city, but not the street address. Second, they didn't say obviously there's a relationship, they said that if the creeper knows her address, then she obviously trusted him enough to give it to him. But I still agree that OP doesn't deserve to feel uncomfortable, but giving out your address over the Internet is dumb as ****.

Well if he doesn't have your address your safe.. Other wise lock your doors bitch the pedo bears coming to town.

If you told him where you live, YDI. If not, totally his fault. Don't let him guilt you. If he is dangerous, he'll rape or kill you. The most minor thing he can do is steal, and that seems like something too petty to buy a plane ticket for. If he isn't dangerous, it'll probably be near impossible to get him out of your house without him sitting outside trolling your yard until someone comes by and gets him. There is just nothing good that can come of this. Be aware!

"Whoops... I forgot to tell you. I moved!" maybe it'll work? Never tell strangers where you live!! I hope you didn't tell him your address...

So you'd give in to blackmail because he guilt tripped you? You've never met him in person and you have no way of knowing if his online persona is anything like he is in person. You don't have to let him in and have every right to call the police if he won't leave.
