Hmmm. I've never tried it, but I've heard a lot of success stories and also a few 'horror' stories. I think that as long as you're sure that your date is who they claim to be (talk to them on webcam, or something), and you meet in a public place, and then leave straight from there, you should be ok.
yeah, i heard nice and horror stories as well... another thing, i live in a small town - i dont want to send my pics and speak on camera where everyone films stuff... i dunno, i see that thing as possibly harmful as well - how do i know its not my ex or my neighbour whom im sending the pic?
Yeah. That's definitely true. I think it's probably something that you just have to go for. It's make or break, so you're either going to have a great experience or a really crappy one. Hopefully it'll be the first one in the case that you decide to try it.
I've tried two online dating services . CHEMISTRY.com and MATCH.com I preferred MATCH.com more. Anyway, it's not a perfect solution but it was fun and I had some nice dates. I'm a guy so it was a little easier for me. I know women tend to be more cautious and rightfully so. There are a lot of freaky guys out there. But at least on these dating sights most people post pictures of themselves and provide a profile so you can get an idea about the person. From there you e-mail back and forth until you fell comfortable enough to talk on the phone. If that goes well you set up to me somewhere. Always make it a public place where there will be lots of people. The dating sites also give you lots of helpful hits on the way to go about meeting with a person. I also tried going out with a local signals group. I was fortunate enough to find a good one. I met a lot of nice people there. Maybe a local signals group would be good for you. It’s a group setting and most of these people have experience with online dating and there input can help a lot. I did me. Hope that helps some. Good luck
Also, it seems like you could try and do a small webcam chat with them. It seems like it'd be really difficult to fake a live chat, so that might be a little more reassuring.
I have, no biggy, first encounter should be in a public place, feel the person out if you like it, carry on, if you don't just have a cup of coffee together or whatever and be on your way, it's simple really.
yeah, you are right, this acctual meeting in a public space is acctually like any other date, right? when u meet a person in a club, you dont know anything ab them either, do you.
true that, it all starts with conversation. I mean you can't get to know someone with out communication :hat:
