On-line dating? Yes? No?

I say yes. A few years ago I did my fair share of on-line dating and was luckly enough to meet some amazing people through it. Of course I meet some jerks but that happens no matter how you meet a person.

The key like everyone says is be smart about it and that doesn't mean just the noramal things like giving out you address phone # etc. You have to go even farther then that. Watch everything you say, make sure nothing you say can lead a person to you.

Sometimes even the simple things you say can give out enough information for that one creep to find you. I know it happened to me.

I though I was doing everything right, never dreamed that just giving out the town I lived in would be to much info. You would think that no one could track you down in a whole town. The problem was that once they had my town and the one time I said I was going to the Mall that next day was enough info. for him. Most towns only have one mall, so with that info, the name of the town and my profile picture was all it took.

You have to be very carefull what you say to anyone on-line, the little things can all add up to more information then you wanted to give out and a skilled sicko can take that info. and find almost anyone. BE REALLY CARFULL!

But even with that scare, I still say yes. I had a chance to meet a lot of wonderfull people that I would have never the opportunity to meet any other way. I would have hated missing out on the friendships I developed, they have come to mean a lot to me over the years. I been lucky enough to get to go to Vegas, Canada, Virgina and Ca. and even had some great on-line friends come down here, so there are a lot of good memories I will have for the rest of my life, from on-line meetings.

If I became single again, I perhaps would try online dating, as I hate pubs,clubs, etc, and I would probably be very lonely, but I would be cautious and a little scared for sure.

My girlfriend met her American hubby online, they have been together four years now , he lives here in NZ, and they have a baby boy Lathan, so you see it can and does work out.
