After meeting online, now you've met in
person -- he's attractive, witty and there
don't seem to be any red flags. Safe bet for
a second date, right? Disturbingly, that isn't
always true. After a second dinner date with
the potential man of your dreams, things
might really turn out the way you weren't
expecting.
Online dating is no more or less dangerous
than dating out in the "real" world. You
can’t let even the most reliable dating Web
sites replace your own intuition and
common sense or keep you from taking
safety precautions when meeting someone
new. i suggest following these five safety
tips when seeking your match online or off:
1. Google him! In this day and age,
Googling is almost second nature to find
the answer to any question crossing your
mind. So why not do it when you meet
someone you think could be your soul
mate? this might not been applicable in
some cases but you can as well do a
background research, that's if you know
what i mean*winks
2. Let him know that you've told others
where you'll be, with whom and the phone
number of the location you're at. While
Anderson emphasizes there is no shame in
being blunt and telling him you've taken
these precautions, you can also slip this
into conversation with a bit more tact: "I left
our names and the number of this
restaurant with my sister in case she needs
to get in touch with me. We're having a
small family crisis and sometimes my cell
phone coverage isn't great." Remember,
there's no need to feel embarrassed that
you've taken these steps -- it simply
makes you a smart woman. One way or
another, make sure he knows...... http://feelgoodstuffs..com/2014/07/how-to-be-safe-when-dating-online.html?m=1
