ive never known my father. i dont know what he looks like, just his name. but today, i was leaving a dunkin donuts and some guy walks up to me and tells me he is my dad. i havent told anybody yet. but what should i do? tell people, not tell people, try to get into more contact with him?

The first thing you should do is tell your mom, because honestly, at this point, only she can tell you if he's really your dad or not, seeing as you've never met him. I'm not saying the guy isn't your dad, I'm just saying that, well, after all these years, you really don't know. When you do tell your mom, make sure she knows that if he does turn out to be your father, that you want to get to know him (assuming you do.) And make sure that she honors that request. Because you deserve to know your father. I would advise you though, when/if you do meet with him, do it slowly, starting in public places. Because if you've never met him, you don't know what he's like, or any of that really. And you just need to be careful, because there's a lot of crazy people out there. I wish you the best of luck, and honestly I do hope he's your father, and that you get to know him. Because I don't know my father, I don't even remember what he looks like, and honestly, it still eats me up. Good luck Justin, and make sure you stay safe.

Tell your mother.

There may be a very good reason he's not in your life and why you've never known him, listen to her if she tells you a reason, listen to her if she says to keep away.

Once you're an adult and out on your own, ask her for the contact information. That's when you can reach out for a relationship with him, when you're all grown-up and on your own.

You do not know this man calling himself your dad. Frankly, alarm bells are going off in my head that he came up to you at a donut shop, to tell you. Has he been watching you? Following you? Is he not your dad but really a predator that's been following you and noticed you have no father, and is trying to lure you? Or is he really your dad trying to get you to leave your mom, so he can pimp you out for drugs or something?
While he may actually be a good guy, the point is he is not your dad and you have no room in trusting him just yet. Someone needs to know, just in case he tries for a "daddy-son bonding time" by kidnapping you.

Edit: I called you a girl. I know my genders, I promise I do!
