Does Online Dating works?

Online dating is like having a blind date only it could be a little worse. With a blind date you have someone who fixed you and that someone knows the person you are going to have the date with. When you communicate with people online they can be anyone they want. For you see when you are online you do not have to tell the trueth about your looks, job or name. There is always a chance that you are meeting a criminal. I am not saying you will but there is that possibility. I never give my right name nor do I ever give out my phone number online. I saw on the Doctor Phil show how a woman communicated by computer with a gentleman for two years. He sent her his picture and lots of personal information about himself. He was always out of town or whateve and could not meet her. He told her he was 35. Doctor Phil found the guy. He was living in Florida and he was not in the military and he was not 35. This man was a total fraud. I have met a few men from online. They were ok but nothing to write home about. My cousin was interested in one of these men. So I set the meet up in a very public place and I went with her to make sure everything was ok. The guy seemed ok but we never saw him after that meeting. I guess she was not his type of he did not like all the people around. I think if you are going to try and meet someone online in person you should take all kinds of precations. Make you have a public meeting and I mean very public. Never go to their home first or be alone with them until you are sure they are not murderers or rapists. Always remember online you can be whoever you want to be. As tall as you wish you were and as nice looking. I have made a few friends from online but do not know of anyone who has had a successful relationship off the internet. Remember safety comes first always.
