Not at all, sir. The women are the safest ones here. :) Isn't that right, ladies?

Reminds me of a gentleman who was called to the stand in a trial. After placing his hand on a Bible and swearing to tell the truth - "I do" - he said, "Wait a minute! The last time I said 'I do', I wound up getting married! This isn't going to get me married, is it?"

Do you feel fairly safe with the person you're talking to?
Hey, life's a crapshoot at best. We have people who have been married for thirty, even forty years and when the rubber hits the road and the sheets are split, one or the other or both often say, "You know, I never really knew him/her". Then you have couples who met in high school or the military, had a May to December romance, got married, and are as happy as if they had good sense. There are no rules, guidelines, guarantees, either on the internet or in the actual physical world.

I'm tolerable, mate. Thanks for the nice greeting. How's it going in your neck of the woods? Have they found the rioters (the really bad ones)? I heard one of the administration lady's say something like, "there's no excuse for this...." or the like. Best to you, always a pal across the sea, Bud.

NAKEDMUDPEOPLE: Talking to yes meeting no!
I've always wondered something about what you just said, because I 've heard it a few times before. So, is it enough then to just be friends on the computer? (that seems more creepy to me than meeting someone one on one), and isn't the idea of a singles' club to meet people. I guess what I am saying is I believe we can't hide from the world, we can't stop taking chances on Life, just because it's not always funny, or happy, or pretty, or "right". Hell, if that's the way it's going to be, why bother with anything at all? I respect how you feel, but the world is made up of people, and we are meant to know and like, and even love, one another, and how can we do that if we are always skeptical or afraid? We must be courageous enough to try, at least. Computer pal, etc... is OK but it is not the same and it is not enough.

I feel safe to chat initially, yes.

I never give out contact details until I'm fairly sure they're not complete douchebags/psychopaths. That takes as long as it takes for me to feel comfortable - might take days, might take longer, because all guys are different.

Most of that comfort level for me is based on how patient and reasonable the guy is when you explain your concern for personal safety. If you aren't in a rush to meet or give out contact details, complete jerks will rush you and say things like "C'mon, here's my number - ring me, you can trust me/let's meet tonight, times a wasting/I'm not online very often" etc etc.

Reasonable guys will usually say "I understand completely - some guys on dating sites are complete tools. We'll meet/chat on the phone when you're ready."

If you have seen him live like his web cam & he's been nice too you all this time & ofcoure it would be better to meet each other in public ,like starbucks or a restaurant .Don't give him your adress,everybody should go with his/her own car.Give each other some time then see what happens.

serendipityk: 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.

I like your description of men, prince charming where are you?
