First, you gotta ask your self that question:”what is the difference of getting to know someone through the Internet and anywhere else? Actually, there is no difference, because at the end, you don’t know the person in both cases!
I know that the scary part of online dating, is that even if you see the photo of the person that you are going to date, you still are not sure if it’s a he or a she or whether the person is a criminal or a crook!
You are right about that, but you can avoid that by simply making sure who the person really is before meeting each other.
You can achieve that by talking on the phone and by doing a search on the Internet. I.e. You can Google that person and see what the search results will come up with.
You also search the person on the social medias, like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube, etc…, check the person’s profile, what he/she is writing and how they are responding and check others reviews and comments about the person.
Don’t rush your first date with the person and take your time…
You can also make the first date with some of your and the person’s closest friends.
You do not need to fear your first date, as long as you are smart enough in taking precautions so you don’t fall in a fraud or abusing situation by some people who misuse that kind of relationships through the Online Dating.
Make sure when you decide to go for your first dating, that there are no promises or commitments and no expectations because all depends on the Chemistry. Make sure that the person you are going to date understands and agrees on that specific point too.
