After a few chats, some emails, maybe even a phone call, you and your match may decide that the time has come for a real life meeting. However important this may be, always put your safety first. Everybody, both men and women, should be extremely careful when meeting someone first time around. After all, this is a person you have only interacted with online, and basic common sense should be used when meeting for the first time.

First, you should propose that the date take place in a very public area. Restaurants are a great place to start and give you a chance to talk to more than a movie date will. You can also suggest that you go to other open places as long as they are not too secluded. Concerts work well for example but walks in the park are not suggested since there are often woody areas in which your date and you will be alone.

You should also suggest a date that will occur during the daytime rather than at night. You will be able to see one another much better and it is less dangerous and less likely that a predator could victimize you in the daytime since there are other people around. In either case, always find a good public meeting ground for your date. Don't even consider getting into a car with someone you have never met before other than online. Remember that it is easy to lie online. It is easy to continue to lie in person as well. Getting to know the other person's family or co-workers will also make a big difference in how much you can trust them.

Ask your date to bring somebody along.. Invite one or two of your friends and have your date do the same. You can then go to a number of places such as an amusement park or a shopping mall. You will be safe with friends watching on you.. There is always safety in numbers. If you are not taking your friends, you should tell someone where you are going and when you should be back. Always carry a cell phone to be sure.

When you are feeling more comfortable with a person you can move on to more secluded dates. However remember to keep your guard up at all times until you know the person in real life as well as online. Many people will become victims of rape, kidnap, and even murder all the time and a number of situations stem from predators meeting their victims online. Use good common sense when you are meeting someone for the first time so that you are not another statistic to read about.
