Well ...Do you ever really know if that person you've been chatting with for the last... however long, is a complete FREAK! Anyone can say anything. Do you think that your gut instincts about people are correct, better yet do you even have any instincts?, if so, does anyone actually listen to ém. Quite a few questions there! but what I really want to know is, even though we all know you should never invite them to your own house (especially) for the first meeting but realistically how many of you out there have done it??
since i have children at home i will never do it.before someone is allow my children they have to prove to me that i can trust them 100% around my children.if you are going to meet someone off the net make sure it is a place where alot of people are around that way if you need help there will be people there to help you
Yes eagle - just like you I would NEVER let a stranger past the entrance to my castle - too much hassle to lower the bridge and alert the guards! hahahaha!
I've had people to my home a couple times, but only after a VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY long time on the phone, IM, etc. I let Winds come over almost 6 months later. lol
BUT, everybody and their brother knew WHO was coming over, when and had most of their personal information. lol ALSO, my house is uhhhhhhh, pretty well armed. Not to mention vigilant neighbors. No worries.
Just read the post...i have met several people from dateing sites in person some of them worked out and we still talk and some didnt but it was nice meeting new people.
Yes, but only once. We had been speaking by phone for many weeks, he was extremely spiritually oriented, had been attending a men's consciousness group WEEKLY for over 10 YEARS, extremely self-aware, emotionally very present and articulate, meditated regularly, etc., etc., etc. He lived 7 hours away by car and came up for a weekend. It was a little weird having him come straight to my house, but we had an incredible weekend together, spiritually and emotionally. One of the highlights of my life Re: men.
i've always met anyone out in public before i brought them to my house...i would want to have a sense of what the person is like...when you are out in public and things aren't going too well, you have the option to leave, if he doesn't seem to be responsive to your needs...like if he is being loud, abnoxious, and overbearing, and you asked him to chill and he refused and kept refusing after you asked a couple times, you have the option to get up and leave...
ive been playin around on dating sites for maybe a couple of years now.... i have met some interesting women... i have met some who could benifit from a seventy two hour psychiatric evaluation.... if i think there might be something there i think its important to talk right away.... case in point... i met a girl thru the internet a few months back and we chatted for something like five hours... i couldnt get her off my mind the next day.... and when we talked, i couldnt get off the phone quick enough... OMG... i can STILL hear her complain.... so thats when the new "talk right away" rule was implemented.
ive met one or two online that i was face to face with in a matter of hours... just kinda like meeting someone in a bar i suppose.
ok nevermind..... i cant think..... the weed is blue today
I have a rule here. I have to meet the person in public before letting him/her come to my home. I also like to get to know the person very well via the telephone and internet first even before meeting them in public and then I determine then if I will allow them into my home or not.

please 4give me 4 pointing out that honesty is d biggest prob these days, and trusting other people 2 easly BECAUSE we want them 2b d person that we want them 2b, we give people far 2 much trust far 2 soon! most of us are`nt stupid, just lack a bit of cop-on when we really need it. im d type of guy that can easly ask other people 2 stand up & state my honesty, but been honest doesnt always get me wat i want in life, other`s have said 2 me, "y didnt lie? u wud it or her" and thats where ppl go wrong. if ur honest wit person ur thinking of meeting, spend as much time chatting 2 them over d phone as u can AND back-track ur uestions with them u`ll soon know if u can trust them more. and i say put a little trust in me and c it grow. this is my 1st. site 2b on today.
