How to be safe?

[denuseri]

It could it all depends on what that other persons intentions really were too.

Look at some of the adds in the personals section of the forums...there are people posting for online only, online to real life/ real life only etc and for every fetish along the way.

Just please keep saftey in the forefront of your dealings. Not everyone out there is who and what they say they are.

My biggest single mistake was not having a responsible third party who would call the cops etc if I didn't check in periodically, no one new where I was going or who I was with, I got very lucky to survive my only online to real life encounter...I hope and pray no one else goes through the same.

I'm really sorry to hear you had such a bad experience (probably putting it mildly but sometimes words are inadequate...).

As for the third party, how much information do they really need to know in order to ensure your maximum safety? Ideally yes they'd know everything, but I for example have no intention in telling any of my friends of my interests and would rather they knew as little as possible. I don't want to lie about where I'm going, but I also don't want to make it sound really suspicious because I'm witholding information. Anyone got experience in this or got any suggestions? Thanks.

I'll second that!

Yes, the mistake was not having taken safety measures.
The second "mistake" was to not tried again. *wink wink - nudge nudge"
