your parents are right about being careful! you are an adult though, so just be careful and don't take the dating too seriously otherwise you might get hurt again. If you're gonna date, do it with the intention of just having some fun and enjoying yourself.

Don't consider it datinng, just go out there and meet new people. Learn new things about yourself and have fun. But be SAFE!

I have talk to this guy on the phone and on the dating site every time I see he has emailed me I get so excited I think I'm going to meet him this friday it just sucks that I have to lie to the folks a little

is there not a bus system you could get transit from? Or a friend? Or, meet the person at a local place to you that you could walk and/or ride a bike, etc?
I don't think that lying to your parents about a support group and meeting someone from an online dating site is not the best use of your time seeing as your parents are worried about you from the first instance, and second, if/when they find out, they'll lose confidence in you and not want to help. my two cents. if you can't get there by your own means, then dating should be last on your list and getting your vehicle repaired first? Sorry to sound harsh, isn't meant to be, just you asked about support and I feel you're not handling the situation the right way.

Well I was thinking about that I'm going to meet him at a place really close to my house and I'm just going to tell my folks because I really get alone with this guy
