Internet dating?

Has anyone ever dated someone they met on the internet? What precautions did you take?

Internet dating?
I have dated people from the Internet and consider it the same as if I met someone in a club, bar, or bookstore. As with meeting anyone for the first time you should take the precaution of meeting them for a short period of time in a very public place like a bookstore or coffee shop. Also, you should have a good friend know where you will be and if you want to be extra careful, call your friend periodically (make an excuse to go to the bathroom or say you are checking on a sick relative) to let them know you are okay and your location.





It is like dating people in any other situation, you may meet some really great people or you may meet some crazies and sickos. Just be aware of the situation at all times and get to know the person well on the Internet before deciding to meet in person.
Reply:still in the first phase. will tell you once I get a chance to do so
Reply:i did, and i met him in a public place with a couple of friends around. I thought that felt safe.
Reply:All I can say is this fella I know found a girl from Holland and paid for a ticket to the U.S. and...





...This girl was gorgeous beyond comprehension. I was so green with envy, I mean, smart, beautiful...I didn't stay in touch but if he was smart he married her quickly so he could tap that thing on a daily basis.





The only precaution I take in dealing with you wonderful girls is admit from the start that I'm fat, that way if I actually got to the point of meeting you, I wouldn't see a car tearing out of the parking lot because I lied about myself. So I'm a handsome devil with a pot belly...(to quote "Fat Bastard" from the Austin Powers movie, "I'm a sexy man!")
Reply:No I just don't feel it's safe. Be very careful and if you do decide to meet; meet in a public place in the daytime.
Reply:I've dated a couple of men I met on intenet dating sites. They were both perfectly normal.
Reply:First, never meet someone for the first or second time without meeting them in a public place and without a friend.





Second, never give out your phone number, personal email or any other personal information until you have met in person at least twice.





Third, (for women) make the guy put up or shut up. That means he should be willing to answer any all questions, provide you with the means to investigate who he is and whether or not he is legitimate.





Fourth, never under any circumstances bring him home unless you are confident you would feel safe putting around children (doesn't matter if you have any or not, does he seem like someone you would trust with little children).





Bottom, meeting someone online is possible, but you need to be careful.

Reply:i haven't, but i wouldn't mind dating that fine *** of yours
Reply:Yes. DONT DO IT! There are a few nice men out there, but most of them are weidos and krazy. I say if you have great confidence you can find a real special someone in the general public.
Reply:I dated two guys from the internet. They were nice so I trusted them, and everything turned out great
Reply:I did. When you feel comfortable with them, then I think it's ok. Have short dates in public places. Of course, when you meet up with them, you must still be alert. Just observe the little body language and decide.


The most important thing is to protect yourself when you sense something is wrong.
