He is a stranger though. It's really easy to lie online. It's how come so many vulnerable men and women has been scammed out of money.

You haven't known this guy very long. Not long enough to catch him in any lies anyway. I've met people I've befriended online. I hadn't even chatted with them as we live in different countries. And I organized a meet up (we're friends from a forum we all use). I was ok with it as I'd known them for years, a group of us would be meeting each for the first time together, and it was in a public place on no ones home territory.

It's hard not to be nervous about meeting someone online. We can all really be surprised with how different someone is in person when we've known them online (for example with the meet up I mentioned one of the guys was surprised a bit by my sense of humour in person. I didn't think it was surprising but it was for him! The others weren't but he was. I was likewise surprised by someone else as I didn't think she'd be as rude as she was, as she is very sweet online!)

Just try to keep in mind that you're not in a relationship with this guy. Do you don't like him in person it isn't a big deal. You won't have to worry about running in to him or anything.
