Question: I have always wanted someone to love but have never really dated. I had a troubled childhood. Abusive parents and sexually abused by my older brothers. It was such hell that during the abuse I would pretend to be somewhere else. I feel so dirty and ashamed about my life and what has happened to me that started lying to everyone in my life during my teens. I never let anyone get close to me because I was afraid they'd learn the truth and that they'd reject me sexually if they knew the truth.

I am in my mid twenties and am lonely so I started chatting online to meet a potential mate. I started enjoying the discussions and actually met someone after a few weeks who I like. This person was closed at first, like I am. Then they opened up and I feel like they are just like me. The only problem is that I haven't opened up to them. I have lied about where I came from, where I work everything except my true

Question: I'm meeting my boyfriend for the first time in person and I am nervous! We met on the internet. I'm 15 and he's 17. He lives an hour away and we are going to meet tomorrow. How can I not be so nervous? I have no self-confidence.

Answers:
Mr. Know:  When I was 17, you could not pay me to date a 15 year old. Darling, he can't really be your boyfriend if you've never met. Have you seen his picture? This seems a little odd. If I were you, I would bring your dad with you. He could be a predator. Hello! You've seen it on TV.

Ms. Mystery:  Have you spoke to him on the phone or only online? Either way, take someone with you for protection the first time you meet him - take a strong man. Do NOT meet him alone or in an uncrowded place. Follow your instincts. You haven't met him so he's a stranger at this point. Many girls your age have been abducted in situations like this and sold into sex slavery. Sorry to scare you, but it's a fact! Be sure people know where you are going and who your are meeting.

Question: I have a guy friend I only know online. I have decided to end the friendship. He told me he had a one year relationship with an 18 year old girl and that last week he let another 18 year old girl take him out to dinner. He called this new girl "his sweetie". I find this repulsive. What on Earth can they have in common? She's just a kid. Maybe it's because I have a 13 year old daughter, but I find it disgusting.

I told this guy I can't be friends with anyone his age who hangs out with or dates women who are barely legal. He was extremely defensive, which makes me think I'm correct about it being wrong. I've only talked to this man online, but he has told that he's in love with me. I told him I only I like him only as a friend. He keeps asking to come visit me in person, but I'm really not interested in meeting him. I keep putting him off. What do others think about a 42-year-old hanging out with 18 to 22 year olds?

Answers:
Ms. Mystery: Guys his age dating women that much younger are insecure. We can only hope it's a phase where they are trying to recapture their youth. When I was 18, sure older guys were always hitting on me or flirting and I thought it was a
