You must exercise EXTREME CAUTION when meeting ANYONE on the NET. Here are some rules to follow that I made for myself, that you can use; a. when chatting with someone only reveal your email address when you feel comfortable doing so. If things work out great, but if not you can always BLOCK THEM to avoid any future emails. b. when you do finally agree to call and speak with someone, call HIM/HER, so your privacy is protected, Unless they have called ID. Call your Operator and ask them how to BLOCK your number when you make a call your number will be BLOCKED. If you get a msg like this one, then you KNOW they have Caller ID; This caller does Not wish to accept Callers that block their number. If you still wish to call this person and do not care about them getting your number, you will have to call your operator and ask them how to temporarily REMOVE the Call Blocking Feature. c. NEVER give your last name, town you live in, place of work, or friends or relatives names and addresses out. (Unless U feel comfortable about doing so, or have know the person for at least 4 weeks or longer). d. when you do finally agree to meet someone, meet them DURING THE DAY if at all possible, in a PUBLIC PLACE. e. when you are going to the PUBLIC PLACE park far enough away so you can get away back to your car if things get WEIRD. You also are parking far enough away so the other person CANNOT see the make and model and license plate of the car that you are driving. Anyone who gets the make, model and license plate of your car can report you for a hit and run accident in order to have the police release your address to this total stranger, most police depts DONT BUT some do. EXERCISE CAUTION AT ALL TIMES!!!. f. after your meeting let him/her leave 1st, the LAST thing you want to do is walk ALONE back to your car. If he/she never saw you get out of the car, he will have no idea how to stalk you, or what direction to go in. This way you are safer leaving the PUBLIC PLACE. g. if at all possible, have the manager or another person at the place you met WALK WITH YOU BACK TO YOUR CAR. You should Lock ALL your doors IMMEDIATELY after getting into your car and it is a GOOD IDEA to wait 10-15 minutes to make sure the other person has left before proceeding home. This way they CANNOT follow you. h. always tell someone WHERE you are going, and tell them approx. what time you think you will be home. AGREE to call them when you arrive home at a PRESET TIME, or from say 9:00 pm to 9:15 or so, a range and also AGREE to have your friend call the police if you do not call by That time. Give your friend(s) the following info; 1. The PUBLIC PLACE you are meeting 2. The approx length of time that the meeting will last 3. The make, model, color and license plate number of your car 4. The phone number of the public place you are meeting 5. What Color and type of clothing you were wearing, and other identifiable birthmarks, or scars, jewelry etc 6. A copy of a recent picture of yourself should be given to your friend(s) to aide in looking for you in case you are kidnapped, or God forbid anything else i. when paying for your drink or meal, make sure that the other person CANNOT see personal license, id cards, or ss card to help IDENTIFY YOU.
j. if you feel your encounter went well, great!, but if the person acts suspicious or made you feel uncomfortable, remember the clothing he/she was wearing, and car they were driving if you can see it, and report it IMMEDIATELY TO THE POLICE. k. if your date will not leave to go back to his/her car after you said goodnight, get the mgr of the establishment to escort you to your car, and tell the mgr to report him to the police, since they acted suspiciously. l. what signs are abnormal? Here are a few to look for; a. obsessive talk about sex b. obsessive talk about wanting to get you alone somewhere c. constant calls to you or your work place (Remember never give out these phone numbers out unless you are sure and feel comfortable about the person, you should have a good idea!) d. remarks that are not normal i.e. what positions do you like, do you like bondage, are you a lesbian, when can I fill your teeth...ANY ABNORMAL SEXUALLY EXPLICIT TALK AND COMMENTS should be your Red Flag that goes up and WARN you that this person is NOT NORMAL!!!! Any remarks like this shows you the person may be a SEXUAL PREDATOR, and you need to have the mgr escort you to the car ASAP...GET OUT and GET AWAY!!! e. dwelling on how beautiful you are and staring at you all the time. f. constantly IN YOUR FACE (Bothering you) calling, emailing, writing, stopping by UNANNOUNCED should give you a RED FLAG that something is wrong g. lastly offering you expensive jewelry, gifts or money when you havent known them that long h. USE YOUR INTUITION AND YOUR HEAD!!! Many people put themselves in DANGEROUS positions, when they NEED NOT do that! Follow the rules I have set forth, and you will have a MUCH BETTER time dating people off the web! m. If you are a woman in a hurry to marry because your biological clock is ticking and you want to have a baby, or if you are a man and wanting to start a family for the same reason. You are getting old and are afraid that you may not be able to have children or start a family STOP!!!!! The worst thing in the world to do is RUSH INTO A RELATIONSHIP just for the sake of having a child or start a family because the relationship is BASED on a reason and not true love or Gods Timing!!! n. dating someone or eventually marrying them because they have money is also a relationship based upon a LIE. This relationship cannot function for long after the truth is made known, and the TRUTH WILL be known in time. dating or getting involved with someone who is NOT a Christian or a religion that is close to yours is asking for FAILURE. The reason is if you cannot relate to your friend, mate, or possible life partner on a religious level, How can you relate to them on other levels? language barriers: Communication is essential and if the person you end up meeting is NOT understanding what you mean or say because of language barriers and/or they speak in their own language other than ENGLISH BETTER than they speak and understand ENGLISH, look OUT! UNLESS you plan on having anINTERPRETTER living with you so you can communicate DONT stay in a relationship based upon touchy feely, they look cute, or are a warm body as a reason to stay with them!. If you have problems now they will only get WORSE after you marry them. Finally, The worst thing to do is apply pressure to the other person and FORCE them to make a decision that you both may regret the rest of your lives. If people are INTERFERRING and telling you how you should date, who you should date, and why arent you married? tell them kindly, Please leave me alone, it is my business, I dont tell you how to run YOUR life, Please dont tell me HOW to run mine.
