In this day and age hun I really do think its dangerous, I would never suggest any women meeting any man from the net or a personal ad was a good idea, but....if you really want to meet this man, I suggest you take along with you a good friend of yours, maybe even a couple of friends, mind you , you have said you don't know any one yet, it just isn't safe, this man may well be a good sort, but you just cant risk it. Why cant you just go along with the flow and meet a man the old conventional way, start going out and meet some one that way, anyway hun, I wouldn't do it, but you are a big girl now and you will go along with what your gut tells you, I just hope its the right choice you make.
Good Luck.

Yes, it can be dangerous. I suggest meeting the person in a very public place and taking your own vehicle anywhere you may decide to go. If he doesn't understand why you would want to do this, then he probably isn't right for you anyway. On the up side, about 8 yrs ago, my mother had been divorced for 12yrs. She moped around the house and was in general a big pain in my butt sooooo, I actually placed an ad in the paper for her. Well she got an answer, and it so happens that his son had placed the ad for him. They have been happily married now for 7yrs all thanks to myself and his son !!! So the personal ads can work, just be careful. And don't trust everyone you meet.There are some real whack jobs out there !! Good Luck !!!

It is dangerous, so please take the precautions that the other posters mentioned. That being said... I met my husband in a chat room 9 yrs ago, when I was younger and made unwise decisions. We've been married for 6 yrs. And I do know of a few couples who met through personals/online. However, I know a lot more people have been looking for love through personals or online and have had awful (though not life threatening, thankfully) experiences. I'm sure you've heard it all before, but often the answer is to stop looking and let love find you.

I think it's definately a great idea just BE CAREFUL & SAFE at all times and don't let people tell you there's something wrong with people who use these outlets. i personally know a fabulous lady who answered an ad 5 years ago.. The man she met was financially stable, great looking, very nice but just not into nightclubs anymore. They both knew what they wanted & have been married for 4 years with their second child on the way. I honestly believe they are happier than my friends who met in the conventional way. Good Luck & go for it.

Not a good idea. It certainly isn't safe. I understand your being lonely, but how do you know that whoever this person is is actually telling the truth? It could all be lies, then what would you do? What I suggest would be to make friends with someone, then ask her to introduce you to someone. That would be a lot safer than meeting someone you hardly know any facts about...

well make sure you meet in public, where people can witness if it goes wrong. but dont be thinking that from the start. ive met a few women online. i always meet at a resturant or starbucks, avoid dark places(nightclubs). just be safe and tell someone where you're going. just meet for an hour. if you two click, go out on a 2nd date. have fun

No, its a horrible idea.... im serious.... why would you wanna meet someone on computer when you can go out and meet them in person.. im sure there are clubs, schools, all kinds of different places for singles to meet.. just be confident.. like you said you want to GO OUT and have fun so go out first!

I'm right here! But I guess you don't live by me... You can find a man anywhere, but I don't know what to tell you about Good men. But I know this, YOU need to make the effort, its not like the movies where he'll glide up on a magic carpet or you bump into him on the sidewalk and instantly fall deeply in love.

Well you could do that but make sure you meet him in a public place.And talk with him a few times before that.Or maybe you can find someone who knows someone that is a friend looking for a date that would be the safest if you ask me

I don't think it's the best place to meet someone. It can be dangerous. That being said, I've done it before. I'd never do it again!! It wasn't quite a "fatal attraction", but it was close.
