How To Meet Your Online Date Safely


by Marvin Perry

After you have been through all the stages of getting to know someone online, talking, sharing goals and aspirations. In many cases if both parties believe there is potential for a relationship they will meet to find out if there is some chemistry between them. Sometimes people can get so caught up in the illusion of online dating that they may overlook other relevant issues when it comes to meeting someone in person. It's a fact that some people tell lies online. They may not be the person they pretend to be. While the other person may become a victim of a dishonest or dangerous person.

Men or women alike must employ reasonable judgment for personal security or protection. But sometimes date-seekers are so jaded of the fact that they must meet the other person in a safe place at a safe time. They get out of their shells and instantly embrace the other person as if they have known them forever.

Here are some applicable tips for online daters who plan to meet off line.

Only meet when you feel it is necessary to meet. Pressure is a bad recipe for bad online dating. Some of them gets eaten by this and easily gives in to the pressure of meeting up fast. It is better to continue dealing with the other person for a much longer period of time. Although you may not actually know everything about him online, you will be surprised that a longer talk provides some unintentional revelations about the other person. And by being a smart observer, you will easily have a point of judgment for that person. You will know if a good cooking is on the way. Or, things won't just work out for the both of you. So, it is best to be honest about yourself and also demand honesty from them.

Before you meet in person you should inform a close friend or a relative that you are going out on a date. Let them know the time, place, and most especially the identity of the person you are about to go out with.

Meet the other dater in public. Meet in a safe and familiar location where you know your way around. However, you should try to avoid the cafes or restaurants where people may know you. You should not give them the opportunity to get more information about you other than the things you have told them.

We all have a sense of intuition. Listen to what your secret angel tells you. You will feel whether or not the conversation is flowing well. Leave at once when you sense that something fishy is about to happen.

Do not reveal where you live. Do not let him drive or bring you home. Make excuses for saying no. And make sure that he doesn't follow you home. Change your route.

Although some people may be lucky enough to find in online dating that special someone that can drive them nuts and bring them into the house of wedding bells, remind yourself that there are few who do not. It is best to always keep online dating safe and sound.
