It's fun to flirt and chat online but often the person doesn't turn out to be as they seem online. You can often laugh and put it down to experience but what if you're not so lucky?
Do you feel fairly safe with the person you're talking to?

I agree a public place is a good place to meet them until you feel comfortable somewhere else.

Fairly unsafe for women but tricky for men
Adam's Apple is there so they are not real women

Would you like me to rhyme that again?

Think I've only met up with 3 men from this site. Each time was at lunchtime for a coffee in a public place and never felt uneasy at all. You have to use your common sense and never put yourself in a situation which could be dangerous.

So long as a meeting took place in a public place during daytime I do not see there being a problem. Certain cautions should always be observed for example never put yourself in a position where you may be vulnerable like getting into a car, a lift or a place where you are isolated.

That's good advice, obviously going for coffee time after time gets boring but there are lots of other places you can go and be in publicthumbs up

Whether it's online or offline you should always use precautions. I never meet someone online unless I really spent a lot of time conversing with them and so far I've been fine. (cross fingers)

LOL you must be connecting with the wrong ones, I seem to be good at collecting twits on donkeys rapped in tin foil...what happened to all the prince charming's oh yes that was only in the fairy tale..

But mostly I feel safe meeting men I stick to the rules, however there's nothing beats meeting someone in real life who you know their friends and can suss them out prior.

For the most part I feel safe cause I dont rush into it. I spend time talking on the phone before a meet. then its ALWAYS IN A BUSY PUBLIC PLACE... my parents and a friend knows where i am and the cell phone number of the person I was talking to and from which site.. just In case.. I Have a a couple weirdos and scared the crap out of me.. just made me more careful.. but then again if you met a man in the store how do you know hes not a weirdo...
