Dear Kia,
I have a boyfriend on the internet and I’m thinking about meeting up with him. I’m pretty sure he’s genuine but how can I make sure he’s not some crazy fat old man.

Dear Tinah,
Enlist a friend to come with you, take a fully charged mobile on a plan or with credit, make sure you have reliable transport that is able to collect you as soon as you need to go, meet in a public, well lit place like a skating rink. If you feel threatened at any stage get your friend to call your ride and never leave the public area – he will be less likely to try anything where people can see and if he does then you will have witnesses. If need be, get your friend to take a photo of him on your phone for later identification. Stay safe and never leave the public area on the first date and good luck, i hope he turns out to be an awesome hottie!
