has anyone met or spoke to anyone on yahoo answers?

I made the mistake of chatting to someone and giving him my mobile number-he turned out to be a total obsessive weirdo!!wont make that mistake again......

Update:

i know it was a stupid thing to do,he emailed me,i didnt think it could do much harm giving phone number out,but he was constantly texting and ringing saying he missed me and needed to talk to me(this was after 48 hours,and he told me some fairly worrying things bout himself!i told him not to contact me again-after about 10 more texts i think he got the message.i looked at his profile on here-which being new here didnt know existed and it scared me even more-i know its not a dating site,i dont want a bloody date,he just sounded like he was lonely and just wanted a friend...how wrong was i!

    Just be sensible, this is not a dating site; however some more deviant members of this forum will treat it as such, always treat this (and any other sites like it) as a potential minefield and treat it as such, don't feel sorry for anyone: One crack in your armour and they're in!!

    Everybody makes mistakes, I`ve got talking to a few people on her and they`ve turned out to be very friendly, I`m just sorry yours turned out so bad, but it doesn`t mean that all of them are that bad.

    Nope. You need to be careful when it comes to meeting people from anywhere online. That's good you learned from your mistake but it's sad he turned out that way.
