Safety
Tips for Dating
The Internet might be the perfect place to meet
your dream man however it's also a place that you need to take with a grain
of salt. You have just as many chances, if not more, for a bad experience
on the Internet as you do offline. It's amazingly easy to fool a person using
the Internet. The facts are - and will always be - that no matter
where you are it is important to make sure you are safe. If you met
someone on the Internet and arranging a meeting in real life, you should
protect yourself. Arrange to meet in a public place, and let others know
whom you are with and where you will be at. Remember, this isn't just some
blind date that your mutual friends arranged, or any other date for that
matter, but a date with someone that you really have no clue who they
are. The important thing to remember is that the Internet allows others
to be anonymous. They can be anyone they want to be, and, unfortunately for
some people that means they won't be themselves.
Hopefully I haven't scared you off entirely
at the process of meeting men on the Internet. Odds are it will go just fine,
so there is nothing you need to worry about. In fact, many men find their
dream partner online. I'm just stressing to you that it is important to make
sure that you are taking the proper precautions to protect yourself just
in case something does go wrong. You know what they say, better safe
than sorry.
Before you worry about meeting anyone you should
develop a system to help you decide whom you are willing to meet, and who
you aren't. Sure, you'll find plenty of interesting gay men online, but it's
not feasible to meet them all! As a matter of fact, that could lead to many
problems and mishaps along the way. However, if you are a little more selective
in your process you will find that you're more likely to have a successful
outcome.

The
first step in protecting yourself is going to be asking questions. Lots of
questions! This means that if you are planning to meet someone in person
it's best to know as much about them as possible. If possible, you
can even ask around your circle of Internet friends about the person in question.
Usually people will talk after meetings. Find out if your new friend has
met many other people and what was said about him - be it good or bad.
This information isn't going to hurt you and in many cases it will help to
make up your mind whether you want to meet him or not.
Obviously you want to protect yourself -
and your privacy. This means you are going to ask the other person things
about them to learn more about whom they are, and you're not going to divulge
too much personal information on yourself. You might ask for their phone
number, where they work, the area they live, and other information to get
a better understanding of them and to gain your trust. However, you may be
required to offer the same information in return. I mean, after all, it isn't
quite fair if one party is asked to put themselves out in the open if the
other is not willing to do the same. If you have this attitude, do not be
surprised if the other guy is less than accommodating with your requests.
In most cases the men will not hand you such information on a platter if
you won't do the same. A basic rule is common respect and consideration
No matter what you think you know, or what you've
been told is important, always use your best judgment in the matter. Intuition
is nothing to scoff at! If you feel like something isn't quite right then
don't meet the other guy. If you are too nervous, or there is a problem with
him moving too fast, then communicate your worries and see what happens.
The Internet is nice because it allows you to test the waters in the respect
that you can take as much, or as little, time as you need to progress in
the relationship. While it isn't necessary for you to spend years on the
Internet with your potential love, do make sure you know everything you feel
you need to know for it to be right for you. All you have is time, so if
it's not on your terms then you may be best moving along to the next eligible
bachelor and staying safe.
Final Thoughts
-
Your first meeting should
always been in public
-
You
should both arrive on your own terms
-
You should have a friend or family member that is able
to reach you and that has the other man's information as well
-
If you are unsure about
someone ask to see a driver's license or some other form of identification.
This gives you a chance to learn more about the person and see if you are
able to attempt to trust them more.
-
Learn
as much as you can about your new friend before you meet him

Dear Friend,
I have a confession to make. There was a time in my life when the thought
of being intimate with another man was the scariest, most overwhelming thought
imaginable!
I wanted more than anything else to make love to a man - but I was terribly
worried that whatever I did would be all wrong!
I desperately wanted to know what makes a man tick - not just his body, but
every part of him: his mind; his wants; his needs; his soul - and yes, I
also wanted to know what it takes to satisfy him sexually.
The funny thing about being a gay virgin is this: even though you're a man,
you really have no clue how to satisfy another man. The thought of going
to bed with a man can be nerve-wracking when you don't know what to do. Many
men are naturally shy about this, and understandably so. After all, books
on gay sex aren't available on every street corner!
