I think i'm being groomed

I took everyone's answers into consideration and decided to find the guy before he found me by going 15 minutes early. He pulled up in a van with three other guys soo...nope. I left and reported him to the police. Thanks.
Also I'm a guy

He sounds like a creepy pervert and by meeting him you put yourself in danger. You should tell him you are worried about meeting him and to leave you alone. Tell him you don't want to hear from him again and if you do you will report him to the police.

Don't go to meet this old dude if you know what's good for you, and especially if you are still a minor. I will assume that this guy knows if you are underaged so the fact that he wants to meet you in person at a local park near your house is NOT good, not good at all, girl!

I of course think you shouldn't meet this dude, but perhaps you could tell him something? Tell him maybe you can meet him at a local fast food restaurant, but your dad will be driving you there, and waiting for you in the parking lot so he can drive you home afterward. See how he responds. Or you could say, do you mind if I bring a friend with me"? See how he responds to your question.

Don't go to this park to meet some old el creepo who just might be a psycho-rapist/killer.

I said it's normal, because this kind of thing is not uncommon. However, I would strongly caution you against going.

This guy sounds like a predator. I get that you're lonely, but you shouldn't let yourself get used and abused. At the end of it, you probably won't feel loved.

you are so stupid

So the possibility of getting kidnapped/raped, or raped/murdered is better than being alone?! On top of that, you didn't even tell him where you live, yet he's asking to meet up as if he knew already? Whoa there girl... or boy.

I get it, he's your only friend in the world at the moment, and he's probably a nice person, but don't meet at a park. Parks are too wide open, and not everyone is going to be looking at you, or notice when you're in danger if things get bad; plus, it's hard to run and quickly find help in a park.

Ask him if you two can meet at a popular restaurant in your area during the day, so you guys can talk over food (you get there on your own of course). This is not a difficult request, and it's more safe. If he declines, and insist you two meet at the park, then something isn't right. If he does agree, and insist that he drives you home even though you can get home just fine on your own, then something isn't right.

To put this in perspective, I use to have a 24 yo friend when I was 12. Met him during the early days of GaiaOnline. He wanted to know my full name, where I lived, and my phone number so he can "hear my voice," but all this information he asked for can be used to easily find me with. Thankfully I was taught about internet safety and feared my mom more than anything, so I never gave him any info, but it didn't stop him from being the sweetest guy ever and asking to meet up, etc.

You did the right thing. Smart move.

Launch your own private investigation. It's epic easy to do a basic background check on him with very little information.

Meet him, leave your info with a friend, and let this guy know you have to contact your friend by a set time, or else they launch the search party, the police, the mafia, and Liam Neeson to find you.

If you wanna be raped and murdered go ahead

Idk your in a bad suation idk bring some protection with you if you do meat him like mace or a chasty belt is if he's some kinda rappiest lest he won't get ur women hood

Well that depends on what personal information you gave him and the app. Personal info can be tracked down on the internet very easily to see were itss owner is at. Alot off apps and websight have a locator on them. Personally I would give it a shot
