i have got to ask this this is driving me crazy hit me back i am waiting!!!!?

Question

I just started online dating. People keep saying i dont think you should do it that way it isnt safe!! But are you any safer if you go about meeting people in bars,church,supermarkets,or whatever other traditional way you choose to meet people. The 1st date is never safe i dont care how you 2 met. the only disadvantage u have when u meet them online is that u dont really know how they look!! I can meet some1 at a party, store, mall what ever that dosent make it any more safer the only thing you honestly can be sure of is how he looks !!!

Answer 1

let someone know who your meeting and where,meet during the day,in public. if you ever start dating,make sure they are who they say they are.

Answer 2

I guess I am not sure what your question is. However, if you are asking if online dating is any more dangerous then other dating, I would have to say that it could. Simply because there are many sexual predators online, of course there are in bars too. As long as you are careful, make sure the first meeting or two are in very public places and stay in the public until you get to know the person, then online dating is just as safe as any other dating.

Answer 3

What is the rush? You have plenty of time to date, and when you do whether you meet someone online or in person, you should consider meeting in a public place like at a restaurant. Get to know the person first before going home or taking them home. A date should not mean sex unless you are specifically looking for sex. Know what you want and then go after it whether online or in person. Both methods work well. My good relationships have all been through in person contact. It has been people i met and have known for a while before we started dating.

Hope this helps,

This can't apply to every guy you meet online, but my grown daughter has met and fallen for some real duds. First, one was married. He had lots of money, etc. After she fell for him, she found out he was married to a 400 lb. woman, and was just looking for something better to rescue him. After er 5 years of marriage, he pulled the same thing on her. He took everything he owned plus their only car and left the state. Later she found out he left the state for another woman he'd met on line. Now she's met another one. He's got 3 jobs, is boss over 75 employees, is Special Op's. If he's all that busy, how does he find time to be online 7-8 hrs a day? Just be careful, and don't believe everything you hear.

Answer 5

not only that. when u re just typing some words on the screen u don't see expression on the face of that person. so i can tape whatever, i can give u any information about me, but if u see me in real and i am telling u that i am a president of a bank u probably wouldn't believe cos i don't look like one. but if i am typing - everything is possible. so this is not safe cos when u re talking with someone in real u can read expression on face, u can judge whether person is telling the turth or not, but when ure behind this screen u can't judge anything. u have to believe what person tells u. and another question: if a person is that brillian why didn't he find a woman in life? why does he have to use internet? cos let's face it - 90% of online dating are useless freaks with unreal expectations. well, but u try anyway, good luck

Answer 6

I have to take a bit of issue with church not being safe (met most of my love intrests there) and I usually had a strong group to back me up. Dating sites are fine and safe its running off to meet people with unconfirmed details that's unsafe. Even if they're not axe murderers, you might move across the country for someone and find it onl yworked online. I have a friend who did that, and it was a disaster when he moved to where the gal lived. He came back home and met the woman her married inside of two months though. Juts be careful and trust but verify.

Answer 7

The bad thing about online dating is that people can lie.

So, many of them do so... and you can waste a lot of time, energy, and money on a "relationship" that's never going to go anywhere.

At least when you meet someone in real life, you *know* what the person looks like, and if they lie, or creep you out at all, you can move on reasonably quickly.

Answer 8

Look if you are going to online date, join with a large and well known dating company where people list their experiences with the other people when they date, that way they cant be murderers, pedophiles etc, they will all be logged in the system with fill information etc. It is alot more dangerous though espcially cos where you meet may not be safe. good luck

Answer 9

It is never safe to date a stranger, however, at least you can see the person, and get some sort of idea what he is all about. When online, you could be talking to anyone. You chances of meeting a lunatic are so much greater!!!

Answer 10

I met my husband online! It can be dangerous, but you just have to be smart and not give out your address or home phone # to someone you don't know. Too many crazy stalkers! Cell phone # only until you get to know this person. Drive yourself there and back. DO NOT get into a car with a someone you don't know. And always let someone know where you are going and who you are going to meet, just in case there is a problem. Make sure you call this person afterwards and let them know you are ok.

Answer 11

It's always hard to meet someone nice and trust. But some day you'll meet that special someone and you'll know you can trust that person. My wife was a blind date and when I meet her I knew she was the one I would marry. When We went out the 2nd time I ask her to marry me , she said yes. Got married 5 months later, will be married 35 years in 1/08.
