Meeting Someone Online Continuedby Lyn Newton | More from this Blogger 16 Nov 2007 02:14 PM Previously I discussed how it would not be my preference to meet my mate online. However today's technological world has allowed for many happy couples to begin their relationship on the Internet. In my last article I also offered some tips for meeting or looking for a companion online. In those tips, I discussed how it is important to be honest about your appearance but not too open about your personal information. Your safety should always come first. When you first meet someone online, it is best in the beginning to keep the conversations to emails only. Learn all that you can about the person without actually meeting. If the conversation turns to using inappropriate or harassing terms then end the relationship. Use your gut and good judgment about determining the character of the person from the way that he/she answers and responds to your questions. If the relationship comes to the point where you feel comfortable talking on the phone, ask for his/her number for you to make the call or give out your cell phone number. Do not give out a home number where an address can be connected. If you decide to meet make sure that the location is a public place. Be alarmed if the person asks to meet at one of your houses. Meeting in the daytime is best. Tell friends or family of your plans to meet. Give them the location and the name of the person that you are meeting. When asking the person to your house for the first time it might be wise to have additional guests. Let your friends and family make an opinion of the person's character. Healthy, happy relationships can begin anywhere and at some of the most unexpected times. If you truly feel that this person is the one for you, go for it. However, be careful about letting your guard down too quickly. Single Parents and Online Dating Learn more about Lyn Newton  Lyn is a kindergarten teacher and mommy to a girl and a boy.
