Dating

So you meet someone online and decide after awhile that you want to meet in person. Where exactly is a good place to meet?

The best place is a public location half way between the both of you. Never go to that person’s location.

I’ve read situations where a person says that they have been talking to someone online that lives far away and that that person wants to pay for them to come and stay with them for a few days. This is a bad decision in so many ways. You’re being taken far away from your home to an area where you don’t know anyone else. If you get into a bad situation, you have to fumble around to try to get help in an area that you know nothing about. This person could be psycho and be trying to lure you to them. I’m not saying that all men and women who are willing to pay the way of someone to come and visit are psychos, but there are those that are. Also, if you have to ask if this situation is okay, then you already know the answer.

There’s no reason to put yourself in that type of position. If the person wants to see you that badly, they can pay to fly out near you and stay in a hotel. Don’t let them make you feel guilty about not coming either.

Also, it’s better off that your date doesn’t know where you live, at least for awhile. Wait and see how they are. If you don’t end up liking them but they can’t take no for an answer, the last thing you want is them knowing where your home is.

Before you go to meet someone, make sure that it is in a safe public area. You don’t want to risk your life for a date.
