Online dating can be dangerous if not done right.
1-talk online a lot
2-email
3-exchange #'s after a good period of time
4-talk on phone. Do this for many days
5-If the talking seems compatible make plans to meet.
6-Inform friends or family of this person. And their info.
7-Meet at a public place
8-Have a back up plan if the date sucks.(Friend calls-They have a emergency
9-if date went well call in 3 days.-time to think about how date went
10-Date for a long time-See if it can trangress to anything.
I would be very hesitant to date someone I met online.
You don't "meet" them online. You communicate online. And you ALWAYS meet in a safe, public place. I dated men that I met via online sites for many years. I don't understand how people can be so stupid as to allow a total stranger (and they ARE a stranger until you get to know them - in PERSON) to be around them anywhere else, other than in public.

Generally, only three of these are needed. Talk ... and ANALYZE like crazy. (I do that part well - ). Then, just meet in a public place and don't provide too much information. You can always program your phone to avoid certain numbers or, at worst, change your phone number.
The ONLY variable that remains, if you don't like how the date went, is to be able to walk to your respective vehicles separately, and at separate times. Then, never look back.

Good list Raena. I will add, always - ALWAYS - let a close friend/family member know when you are meeting someone for the first couple of times...where you are going, and the person's name and phone number. I always did this.
They are. That's because some people are only on there to "shop," and are temporarily identifying as Christian. When I was on FB, the people who went fanatical were funny, and not very credible. On these sites, one party has generally complicated their lives and is looking to the other party as a "savior" of sorts. While I have not gone to any non-denominational Christian singles functions, I have heard that the quality (ahem) of the people and the level of drama is no different than if it were a secular setting.
One thing those sites have going against them is that the selection isn't as large as what you find on some of the mainstream sites. However, I do tend to think the women are at least there for the right reasons. They are trying to find somebody compatible with how they see themselves and with compatible values, and that's hard to do in today's secular world.

Yes I had dates where I faked a headache. So I could go home.

I think you're elongating the process out too much. I don't think my attention span is long enough to do it the way you'd just laid it out.
online dating is just plain scary, especially for women. youve got very frustrated sometimes angry and defeated people on there desperate to find someone. the myth that its the new hip place to meet super attractive normal people is purely a myth propogated by the marketing of the websites making millions. its largely a danger zone of lies, fake pics, smoke screens and issue laden people better suited for a psych forum.
It most certainly is not. All that is needed is some common sense.

Ah. So you are probably one of those that wants to meet a gal the same night you come across her profile online. Yeah...that's not gonna work.
