    Very few people who use dating sites consider them only for online communication. Most users need them to find someone for real dating. So, after an online dating stage, sooner or later, people start thinking about meeting in real life. And even if everything has been perfect and smooth and you have a great time via online chat, it doesn’t mean yet that you shouldn’t forget about safety measures. I don’t doubt the online dating safety, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. So, when taking a decision to move from online to real dating, you need to prepare for the first date well and thoroughly.
    1. Make it formal
    Even if you have been chatting online for many months, and you know probably everything about this person, including many moments of life that people usually do not share at once, you still should not rush the events, no matter how hard you want to make a huge step forward. Your first non-virtual date should be formal, no exclusions. Choose a crowded place for the first date, for example, a restaurant, cinema, exhibition, or agree to meet in a park and spend time there. Do not invite a person to your home nor accept an invitation to visit her house.
    2. Inform your friends where you are going
    I know that it may seem like too much for just a date, but you are going to meet a person you have never seen in real life. And informing a friend that you are going for a date with an online match is an absolutely right decision. Besides, most dating sites recommend to do it.
    3. Leave if you feel uncomfortable
    Your real date may significantly differ from the online ones that you had before. So, if you see that your virtual partner is not the person you know so well online, you’d better end this date. Not all online dates should go real. Sometimes, it’s better to leave things as they are and continue communication online.
    4. Avoid alcohol
    Do not drink alcohol on the first date. Even if you feel a bit nervous and you know that a little alcohol will help you to relax and calm down. I still recommend you to avoid drinking because you may either create a wrong image of yourself and spoil the date anyways or simply make mistakes.
    So, how safe is online dating? I’d say that online dating is 100% safe in case you do not neglect the basic rules which work not only for virtual dating but also for the real-world one. Do not rush events, take your time, avoid conversations about money, do not send or buy gifts on request, and do not share personal things about you unless you are sure you know a person well enough.

    I think you need to be careful everywhere. Safety depends on this. In my opinion, dating sites make life a lot easier.

    Our world is cruel and danger can be caught by surprise anywhere. Therefore, everything is relative. But about the advice I agree. The main thing is to be careful.

    I like the fetlife app because on this site you can meet many people who have the same desire as yours. You can discuss everything with potential partners in the chat. Before, I was also afraid of such sites and it seemed to me that someone might cheat me or some unbalanced person might come on a date, but now I understand that I was in vain afraid.

    I think modern sites and dating applications are safe, but still you should be careful and use only proven premium applications without bots.

    Hi there. Yeah, I agree with Kosens. If you will use premium dating applications I think you won’t have problems. But you should also choose dating site according to your preferences, for example on https://www.adviceongaydatingsites.com/ you can find lesbian dating websites. It’s good that such services are separate and everyone can find what they need.

    It’s completely natural to crave male affection at any age. Here’s a link to a website that I think you’ll enjoy. To find a lovely young man for yourself, click the link and login on the dating website. You will, without a doubt, be able to find the one you are searching for.

    I think the dating site is really cool because lots of single people can meet there and get to know each other and start relationships if they want to. My brother met his girlfriend on a dating site and I think that’s very cool. They are happy together.
