How old is he? His parents "won't let him" fly to Atlanta? He's about to join the Navy but isn't allowed to go to Atlanta?

I get the 21st century "met online" thing. my SO and I met online on IRC in 1995 and we're still together. the first time we met IRL though she didn't fly to ATL by herself and when we actually met it was in a public place. part of my concern is where is she staying? his house? because that's just crazy. if not, is he paying for a hotel for her? that's pretty nuts too. she only has a part-time job so she has no money to get her own hotel. I might feel differently if we had any family or friends in Dallas but we don't. the closest family we have is a cousin in Houston. my brother is trying to convince his ex-wife (the most selfish woman in the world) to go with her.
That's what makes it shady.
Everything else about that post seems normal for the 21st century. While I was in college I met a girl online and our first meet was a Barnes & Noble, and our second was at her work where she knew where all the security cameras were.
Oh no, you're right to be concerned. There's a way to do this safely, but its with your car and your own hotel that the other person has no claim to so you can bail ASAP. Facetime with the parents would even be a decent option, even if that feels a bit childish.I get the 21st century "met online" thing. my SO and I met online on IRC in 1995 and we're still together. the first time we met IRL though she didn't fly to ATL by herself and when we actually met it was in a public place. part of my concern is where is she staying? his house? because that's just crazy. if not, is he paying for a hotel for her? that's pretty nuts too. she only has a part-time job so she has no money to get her own hotel.

Came to post this.Wow... IRC. Hitting her up with the /msg. I hope you threw a /whois on her before moving forward.
This situation is comprised entirely of red flags, nopes, do-not-do-this, and are-you-stupid-why-are-you-even-considering-doing-this.I'm pretty sure I know what most of the (serious) responses here will be but I just need my opinion validated on this:
my 20 year old niece wants to fly to Dallas by herself to meet some guy that she chats with on the interwebs. her dad and I are trying to convince her that this is not safe. the basic story is that this guy (supposedly the same age) is joining the Navy soon and they want to meet up before that happens. she says that his parents won't let him fly to ATL to meet her so he bought her an airline ticket to come to Dallas and see him. maybe I watch too much SVU but this throws up all kinds of red flags for me.
thoughts? suggestions? concerns?
this is a great point and makes it acceptable. I only close the door if it's a nuisance.Yes, if only because the stall door keeps hitting me in the back/ass whilst I'm peeing.
This. Close the door you animals.If there is a door, shut the damn door.
What kind of slapdash 3rd grade rinky dink question is this.
Whatever happened with this?I'm pretty sure I know what most of the (serious) responses here will be but I just need my opinion validated on this:
