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.

Knowing all this suddenly makes the FML seem less creepy seeing as how the only thing he knows about you is that you're a girl.

#27, c'mon, be a sport! Bring the guy to your house, I mean, what's the worst that could happen? I'll bet there's a 60% chance that he's totally harmless, 65% tops. In any case, free jewelry! Am I right? What gal doesn't like free jewelry? You ought to hit him up for flowers, too.

You're a weird but cool dude, do you know that?

Oh hell no. I'm sorry but he sounds like a stalker. He hardly knows you and wants to stay with you while he's out there? Do yourself a favor, carry mace

This reminds me of the Matthew Pyke case. He found out where the girl lived, somehow. And just kinda showed up at her doorstep. I say, kill him first. No seriously, if you feel threatened in any way by this crazy person, call the cops.

I have had this happen to me. Apparently, some people think that girls + games is so rare they have to stalk and mate with this rare creature. He sounds unstable, lonely, and I am glad you played it safe. Hopefully nothing else comes of this and you do not have Creepy McStalker on your porch asking to be your game buddy.

93 isn't that the truth. I've picked up creepers in games and in the early 90s, hockey chat rooms. I've made some great friends online, but the stalker types have always seemed to be waiting for an opening. I've gotten smarter about the way I handle things, learning from what jokes send the wrong impressions to unstable people. I have also found not admitting to being female helps a lot in some situations. I think the girls who play solely for attention and e ***** it up make it much worse for those of us who just want to enjoy a hobby.

#99 THANK YOU! I thought it was just me that thought a load of girls were like "Omg, I play games like all the time!". I'm personally not a gamer, well not in the sense that I play the same games as normal people do but it still annoys me!

When he arrives, tell him to wait outside while you get ready, then lock the door and call the cops. This guy needs to be in a mental ward.

this guy sounds super rapey to me, do you own pepper spray? might want to get some, or a little .380 i don't know what it takes to get a pistol permit in nova scotia if you even can.

How is that LESS creepy? Idk about you but someone I don't know nearly at all treating me like that and saying the're going to spend hundreds of dollars to see me is MORE creepy than if someone I know did it.

Add him back on your friends list ask him for his address and then send the mental hospital people to his house to make sure he's taking his meds

All you have to do is not pick him up at the airport, assuming of course he doesn't have your address.

Don't put yourself in such a potentially dangerous situation. If you can get out of it, get some friends to stay with you. Really, you need to say no.

I have been stalked like this before. Tell him he can stop trying to push himself on you or you will have to stop talking to him. If that fails, stop talking to him at all. It is never going to go your way and it will get worse when he doesn't get his way. Since he already knows in which city you live, give him the address of the furthest police station from you in that city. Let him spend his money to visit the fuzz.

Don't let him use the whole guilt trip. He sounds like a freak. If he was a friend he wouldn't do what he did.

How can you call him a friend when he gives you the creeps?

if someone tried to do that to me i would google all level 3 sex offenders in my area and give him/her the address of the one with the most charges under their belt but that's just me :p

Okay, but google those dudes in someone else's area... Not your own.

Perhaps you should try to keep your address confidential when online?

#49 - OP not only kept her address confidential, but also her name and picture. She has played it as safe as she can without actually staying offline for the rest of her life..
