1.Remember, this is the Internet. People are not always whom they want you to believe they are.
2. Don't give out your personal address or telephone number lightly. No matter how much you get to know someone online, you'll only really get to know them in person.
never give out your details until you are comfortable.
3. Meet for the 1st time where there are plenty of people then get a seat where there are plenty of people.
4. Never get "picked up" or "dropped off" from/to home.
5. Always tell someone you know, where you are going, who you are meeting and what times you will be dating on.
Hopefully
Dont let all this talk of safety put you off, the worst thing that may happen is you realise the person your meeting is so boring that your worried you will fall fast asleep during your date,
