Walking by a lake or river Driving to an area of natural beauty When it comes to Online Dating, things can get pretty tricky. Is he who he says he is? Is she who she says she is? Is he/she honest? A murderer? A rapist? A gold digger?

Whether placing an ad, or meeting someone in a chatroom, be EXTREMELY specific about what you want and don't want. Ask open ended questions, which will assist you in finding out more about the other person. Also, if you wish to have an ongoing relationship, it is best to become involved with people who live nearby, thusly allowing for a dating relationship. Unless you do alot of traveling it is best to find someone in your same state.

It is a good idea to communicate via email for at least a month or so before meeting "face to face". ASK lots questions, Be observant that what he/she is telling you remains consistent.

Ask about everything! Marriages, divorce, children, education, career choices, hobbies, likes and dislikes, everything!!!! If available, you may even want to "chat" online several times before actually meeting.

If at all possible, exchange photo's prior to meeting. This will afford you the opportunity to see if he/she has the LOOK that you like. It will also cut down on disappointing surprises. Also, be very honest about yourself, so the other person is not surprised or disappointed either.

The first meeting should ALWAYS be in a public place. Choose a place where you feel comfortable, this will ease your tensions and nervousness and increase your feelings of safety. Do this for the first few subsequent meetings, and remember, NEVER give out your home address, home phone number or place of employment, until you are very sure about the person, or extremely comfortable with them.

Keep in mind, there are some of GOOD PEOPLE out there... but, there are a lot of BAD PEOPLE out there also.
