Internet Safety Tips....

Contact on the net... When you receive an email or send an email to someone, Never give any information to them as to where you live, your phone number, or last name. Send email back and forth for awhile. Get to know them a little. Watch for any contradictory things. Ask questions on the way they feel about things. Remember until you are sure without a doubt, do NOT give them any way to contact you, except by email.

Phone Contact.... After a few hundred emails, you feel you're ready to take the next step forward with this person, then it's time for a phone call. You then would offer your phone number to that person and the best time for them to call you. Remember if you are calling the person, make sure you want to take the next step. They can get your phone number by caller ID or star 69 on most phone systems. Ladies, Remember that alot of married men will try to play games. Ask them to call at 7pm when it would be hard to do at home. Listen to the tone of their voice when you ask a question. Learn as much as you can from them. After a few calls they should offer you their phone number. Call it at an unannounced time. Make sure the number they give you is their own, Not a pay or cell number.

Meeting in person.... So far so good. You like what you've heard on the phone. It's time to meet this person. After all it's been about a month now, and you know more about this person than if someone in person would ask you out. Set up a meeting in a public place. Maybe a restaurant for coffee or lunch. This should be a short meeting of about an hour or so, Not a date. Try to get a feel for this person by watching their eyes and their gestures when you ask questions and when they talk. Have a call in time about half way through this meeting. By this I mean arrange to call a friend who knows where you are going to meet. If you have a cell phone have that friend call you at a set time. If no contact is made this friend should call the police ASAP.

The First Date...... Well you met this person, you like what you've heard and seen. Make your first date in a public place. Maybe a movie or Dinner. Again set up one or two calls with a friend. Make sure this friend knows what you are doing and where you are going. If there are any changes in plans let this friend know ASAP. Be Smart and Stay Safe.


Always remember Safety first. Don't let your emotions take over. It's real easy to lose control. When the other person takes over control is when you're most vunerable. Good luck!!
