The safety question and danger element

The dating scene has always had its positive points and negative ones even before the internet there were questions of safety when first meeting someone that you do not know.

There are a lot of nice , wonderful people out there and yet as we are all well aware there are also people who may appear to be nice and normal but may have some serious emotional or even mental issues.

This is probably a bit more of a concern for females than it is for males when one watches the news and sees the cases of rape, missing person's reports ...ect therefore it should be most understandable to see a woman approaching a new possible meeting with a man with a certain degree of caution .

I have heard about women who are willing to travel long distances alone to places they have never been before just to meet a man for the first time. Is this wise? or is it in a way like playing Russian roulette with your safety and health? I personally would be very uneasy and nervous in making such a move and taking such a risk not only for myself but also keeping in mind that my children need me....

When meeting someone online, it should be treated the same as meeting someone at a bar. Look before you jump.
Lana, try to get to know someone as best you can before meeting them . Here as well as privately conversing on the computer is a good start . The longer you communicte the better understanding you might get . By now you probably know who are the ones here you can trust and who to avoid . The same is true in personal matters. If it is some one in your area , then agree to meet in a public place . If it is long distance, then take much longer to too make a desission . As with the local meetings , trust your instincts . You might try and ask others if they might know the person or have any insight into there charector . Yes you are right, you can't be carefull enough . Fortunatly, the ones to avoid are not in the majority .
Frank,
I agree, am very cautious and I know the rules...just thought I would post a blog to make others aware of the dangers and to keep this in mind.hug
Lana, Good ! And please stay that way, we would hate to loose you . . . . .hug
I met someone from this site & was not local. He stayed here for amonth...not with me though. A lot was going through my mind & was cautious...didn't know what to expect & such. Glad he wasn't pyscho either. It is true you don't know what a person is like until you actually meet...
@Jana absolutely right....no man should object to woman ensuring hers n her kid's safety ! rather a test of man character is that he shows with action that he is reliable n trustworthy...otherwise no one needs a thief to steal from us emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically or financially....cheers
correction Lana...sorry about the mistake..bouquet
Always men have came to meet me and I stick to this rule.
there always is a risk in even the most minute of the undertakings ... who dares wins...
Dear Takeme, Well if you don't mind my saying this, it looks like instead of takeing you to France he just took you for a ride ! . . . . . . . . .laugh laugh laugh . . . . . . .Glad you can laugh about it now . . . hug
