Suggestions on Safe Meetings
Via the Internet
Use Metrodate
Messaging Until You Are Comfortable - Using
online messaging, you can determine whether a connection made through this
service is worth exploring further. Use it until you feel comfortable that
the person is being sincere.
Do
Not Give Out Personal Information - At first, since your contact is
anonymous by email, you need not give your full name, telephone number
etc. to the other individual. Only after you feel comfortable should you
exchange personal information.
Meet
in a Public Place - Until you feel comfortable with someone, you should
meet in a public place, where you feel comfortable.
Meet
in a Group Or Bring A Friend - If you decide to set up a personal meeting,
it may be fun to go out in a group or for you to bring a friend along.
This will make you feel more at ease.
Set
Up Free Email For This Service - There are so many great free email
systems out on the web, you should use it to your advantage. This is
especially advisable for people accessing the internet from work. Just
remember write down your new password and member ID somewhere.
Ask
For Personal References - If it will make you feel more comfortable ask
for a personal reference or two.
Do
Not Buy Anything or Lend Money- This day and age, scam artists appear
everywhere, maybe even in the singles world. Don't let anyone scam you for
money.
When
You Give a Phone Number, Give Your Work Number - If you have some personal
space in your office to talk on the phone, it may be best to give out that
phone number first, should you decide to exchange numbers.
Exchange
Photos Via Email or Regular Mail - If you want to be sure that the other
person is telling the truth about their looks, ask for a picture.
Make
Your Own Decision On Personal Meetings- Only you can decide whether you
feel a personal meeting is worthwhile; listen to your own instincts.
