Default Do ya'll use your home address or a P.O. Box?

It seems safer to go with a P.O. Box, but I don't want to go out and purchase one without even knowing if I'm gonna stick with pen pal'ing.

I use my home address. many people use po for their own peace of mind. it is really up to you and what makes you feel comfortable with.

I use a PO box for the first few letters and if I feel comfortable, will give them the hime address. I have a PO box for more than just pp's as it is a secure way to receive hobby dealer shipments and other items. Here you can pay for 6 months or once a year which is what we do. In 24 years of writing I have not had any problems with using the hime address.

I use a PO Box, even though we've been writing to each other for over a year, and we are in a committed relationship. She does know my home address, though, but I use the PO box because I live with my folks, and I don't want them getting nosy.

I use my home address, mostly for my own convenience. I live in the middle of nowhere and it's a hassle to drive into town daily just for mail, and when I'm going to/coming from class it's rush hour and I just want to get home without additional stops.
