A log from a chat I had just now.
Names were starred out and some corrections made to my own spelling.

* 207 (21:10:51): Hi! I'm *** from **.

** (21:11:35): from where?

* (21:11:47): **********, heh, sorry.

**(21:12:07): ah,ok

* (21:12:41): So..you said feel free to contact me. Lets get to know eachother a bit? ^_^

**(21:13:04): um,ok... just don't make it too personnal

* (21:13:36): I"m a little confused, did you get the idea I was coming on to you somehow?

** (21:14:10): no but, I don't know you so... I am being cautious

* (21:14:57): Ah..well, I'm happily in love right now so, no worries!
** (21:17:23): uh yea, ok
** (21:17:36): your probably not near my age anyways

* (21:18:17): Wow...you are..really, really cautious. Whatever. No way I'm going to be able to have an interesting convo about anime or Japanese food with you >.>
* (21:18:36): What would age have to do with talking about similer interests?

** (21:19:09): nothing, look you don't understand that there ARE criminals who use the net
**(21:19:14): to get what they want

* (21:19:41): I do understand this, completely. One of my friends was nearly abducted because she got to into a guy online.
* (21:19:46): I'm not stupid.

** (21:19:56): did I say you were... NO
** (21:20:00): quit assuming

* (21:21:45): Why should I? For all i know you could be an online rapist
* (21:22:07): I wouldn't know if you were now would I?

**(21:22:14): oye, whatever... I don't need this nonsense from an immature teenage boy

* (21:22:44): But yet, I dont care because I didn't plan on giving you any personal information and wanted a convo about similer interests.

Then user proceeded to go offline before my last message had passed though.

Now..what had just happened was very strage to me..maybe because I'm such a open and friendly person most of the time or because she was so sheltered and cautious. But it was odd.
Has the internet make people afraid of talking to others for fear of something to happen to there well-being?
