Taking time getting to know someone, first through emails then on the phone, can give you a true feel for how they really are. It also gives you a chance to listen for the signs that this person is not being honest with you. Pay attention! Do they stick with the same story or does it seem to change a lot? Is there something they seem apprehensive to talk about it? If so, try to find out why. On the positive side, taking time to get to know them also gives you a chance to build the foundation of a strong relationship, so don’t skip over this important step! Don’t give out personal information that can be traced to your home or your work. The last thing you want is to have someone that you don’t end up feeling comfortable with coming to your door at home or at work. That can only spell trouble. (Can you say “stalker”?) This is information that should be a privilege given only after you have met at least once, if not more. A cell phone or pager can always be used to be for contact, other than e-mail, with someone. These are harder to trace back to home. Just be sure that if you are returning a call, and want the number to stay anonymous, that you have your home number blocked. Check with your phone company to see how to do this. Make sure you are meeting at a familiar location. Go where you know! You need to be somewhere that you feel safe and you know the area. That gives you more control. I even made sure a friend or family member was there to keep an eye on me at first. It made me feel as if there was a guardian angel watching over me. Take your own car, or transportation. First of all, in the spirit of not letting someone know where you live right away, you obviously don’t want to let them come pick you up at home (no matter how old fashioned you might be). This is something that can come at a later date when you are sure you want them to see your home. When you take your own car, you have more control of when you leave and where you go. If you don’t like someone or somehow don’t feel comfortable, you can leave! Be certain to give a close friend or family member all the details. By this I mean ALL the details. They should know your plans for the evening and when you expect to be home. You should also be sure to give them all the information on the identity of your date and their picture. If your plans change and you are going to be home later, just give them a call. Sure, this sounds like you are back home with your Mother again, but at least your safe. It really can’t hurt! Listen to yourself!!! This one can’t be stressed enough. We are all equipped with some sense of intuition. Whether it is faint or screaming in your ear. You should listen to what your senses are trying to tell you. Don't try to ignore or rationalize your fears. It is a simple golden rule for life: “If you don’t feel safe, you probably aren’t!” Don’t ignore this! If at any time you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, end the date immediately. It is better to be wrong than be harmed. The above are the rules that I used to guide me during my journey through online dating. I found them very successful. In fact, because I was able to get to know my dates before we met, I felt safer than on so-called 'traditional' first dates. You just don't get that opportunity when you meet someone at a bar, club, coffee shop or by any other means. Keep in mind, these rules are only my suggestions. Your safety is truly up to you. Use your common sense. Make up your own rules. Whatever you do, stay safe and play safe and you will have a lot more fun!!

We hear it all the time. 'He just won't make a commitment.' 'She just wants some space right now.' 'I'm not sure if I'm ready for a serious relationship.'What does having a fear of commitment really mean? Actually, it means basically what it says.

Wear Your Thinking Cap When Gambling Online I receive many emails each week from people who deposited money at an online casino, only to walk away empty handed merely minutes later. Most of them are quite upset and understandably so. When you have lost money you want to blame someone. It's part of the human psyche and a natural reaction.When I ask people if they were playing according to a strategy the answer is normally something like 'Huh? What's that?'. Enough said.

What To Do Instead...A Message For The Broken Hearted 'The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear.'Herbert AgarIt may not be exactly what you want to hear, but I think this is especially true when it comes to relationships.

Can You Curb a Compulsive Shopper? Hank and Marilee had a stormy marriage. The eye of the storm was Marilee's compulsive spending. She was an impulse buyer. She rarely decided to buy something but if she saw an ad that appealed to her, she bought. Granted that they could use one cedar chest but why three? When asked why, she responded, 'They were half price.' While Hank and Marilee never agreed about money, they did agree to see a marriage counselor. The counselor assured Marilee… |
