Ack! I'm IMing a girl who just kind of asked me out.

Well, the thing is, she has a boyfriend, but they're somewhat nonmonogamous - she's allowed to see girls on the side. She is quite attractive though. And really nice.

What am I getting myself into? Should I go for it?

4. No harm in going to dinner and seeing what's up.
Keep in mind that if down the road you develop stronger feelings for her and want more, she may not be willing to give more.

5. I'd say go for it, but be careful.
Be ready to bail out should it not end up being as straightforward as you think is, but don't be so paranoid that it prevents you from having fun either. :)

6. Please make sure you tell your parents about it...
a lot of 16 year old girls get into A LOT of trouble meeting strangers from the web.

You still haven't watched an episode of America's Most Wanted, have you? ;-)

Take care. Really, I hope it all turns out. But I don't want to see you hurt either. :hug:

8. no
From my experience (not directly, but watching friends), people who claim to have "open relationships" are pretty fucked up. Usually at least one of them can't stand the idea but feel like they need to agree to it to not lose what they do have with the other person. In the end lots and lots of people can be hurt. The possibility of contracting STDs is also higher - you're sleeping with anyone down this long chain by getting involved with it.

But asking a teenage girl to send you her pic seems appropriate?! You lack a sense of proportion...among other things. :rofl:

20. That one just gave me a sick feeling in my stomach.
Ewww! I am glad that one got tombstoned. Those are the kind of people I warn my 15 year old daughter about.

21. I know. It was upsetting to see it at DU. But the mods were quick
to weed him out. It's good to know that this is a safe place for Aspiegrrl, Ava, and other young women.

22. They really are awesome and they sure did that quick.
You are right that it makes us feel better that DU can be safe for the younger ones that we love to see here. Thank the Gods for the Mods!!!
