Re: Reason you Might want to rethink online dating
It's pretty easy, really:
-Talk a bit before you go out to get an idea of what they might be like
-Meet them in crowded public places for the first few dates. Personally, I always met dates at restaurants, galleries, or movie theaters. With my boyfriend, our first five dates were movie-museum-movie-movie-picnic in the park in the middle of the day.
-Never get in a car with them or go anywhere alone until you have a fairly good idea that they are not an ax murderer. Just wait a bit and keep it in your pants.
It's not perfect and you will meet creepers. I met a few creepy guys online dating, and friends have even more horror stories. But most of the guys I went out with were nice, normal men who either wanted to meet a girlfriend or meet someone they could date casually (and honestly, there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you're on the same page). I didn't have any chemistry with most of them, but I hope they all found what they were looking for at some point because they were decent people. I love my boyfriend and think he's a gem. I'd probably never have met him offline, because we lived in different parts of the city, had different jobs, and completely different friends.
