We should always trust our instinct when meeting someone new. If we do not feel comfortable with the other person and we can’t put our finger on it, perhaps we should proceed with caution, especially for ladies. Meeting in a public place is a MUST!

I always feel meeting at a public place is the best option and also try to know about the parents and relatives of the person. You can easily judge a person by his family background so always try to meet the family so that you know what type of people they really are.

These are all great tips and something every man and woman should pay attention to when they are meeting people online. When I was into the online dating scene, I never met alone on the first date. I always had my best friend come with me, and I’d arrange for the guy to meet me at the local club where all my friends hang out. This made me feel safer, and also weeded out the jerks pretty fast. Many would say I had to meet where they dictated, and I would tell them to go find someone else to meet. The guy I married cared for my safety enough to meet me at this club, despite the fact that he isn’t a “clubbing” sort of man. He was very uncomfortable being in a club full of rednecks, but he pulled through with shining stars and we went on to have a wonderful life together! My advice, take a friend, meet with a bunch of friends, and find that special one that cares for you while the rotten apples move on to someone else.

These are all really good tips, however there is something else that you can do to make yourself feel safe and that is do a background check on the guy. I know it may sound a little extreme but my girlfriends and I use beenverified.com and for like $10 we can find out who this guy really is and if he has a criminal record. Unfortunately, its just to easy to lie on the internet and I don’t want to put myself in bad situation. Doing a quick background check is so simple and effective. My friends and I will not meet a guy from the internet without doing a background check first.
