4. Drive yourself to the meeting never let them pick you up for the first meeting.
5. Before you give your home address or work phone number.. meet first then decide if you do have something in common.
6. Try to first meet in the daytime even if you must wait until the weekend.
7. Don't assume everyone tells the truth..

You should be commended on coming up with such a simple set of guidelines to follow. Unfortunatly alot of people are completely fucking stupid as everything you mentioned should be a no-brainer. Not to be-little your list at all, but there are some really dumbass people.

The ignorant slut that has the other thread in this catagory about meeting the guy for the first time, kissing him in the car and then he started to choke her could really use this list, as she is obviously too fucking stupid to figure it out.

Why are people so narrow minded to look over the obvious in an attempt to lust after a complete stranger and/or fullfill the void in there lives by putting themselves at risk of possible physical harm or even worse catching a disease??

awesome tips.. they really work.

learned from many many mistakes

Be safe, be sure and be informed is the best policy.
Dating seems to change very often now with all the internet scams and tricks.
Reading and being informed is your best protection.

That was really good advice thanks.
