Re: Safety questions: getting to know them and discretion?
33Mychael hopefully I can give a decent answer to your questions.
Getting to know someone doesn't involve giving out
personal information like home address. Focusing on interests
and type of personality is usually a safe way to keep personal
information out of a conversation. Don't give names
of places you hang out at and keep specifics out of the conversation
when chatting or e-mailing (ie: type of work, but not where).
There are plenty of things to discuss without giving personal
information out.
As far as safety for meeting, the only thing I know of is a
public place. To keep it discreet and safe the best I can
offer is checking out a town near by and meeting at a mall
(where you can walk and talk without prying eyes) or some
other public place of choice. An extra safety precaution
is to know what the person is driving to make sure not being
followed when returning home. If feeling the need to drink
before meeting to "calm the nerves" don't
over do it and don't get too relaxed. If not wanting
to be out in public to meet than there will be an unavoidable
risk of the person knowing the address. At least have someone
you trust know what is going on.
