Meeting someone online and meeting face-to-face are two different things. There is a nervousness and hesitation involved when you meet someone personally. You should always be careful when taking your relationship from internet to real world. Here are some points to ponder which will help you to date safely and transform you relationship to the real world.

• Fix A Meeting This is the first step towards transforming your relationship to real world. Arrange a meeting with him/her when you think you are ready to take your relationship to the next level and are assured that he/she is the right person for you. Don’t allow your date to pick you from home and be sure that your date does not know your home address yet.

• Prefer a public place Always choose a public place for meeting where there are a number of people around. You can also consider going out with a group or on a double date.

• Pay Half the Bill It may sound awkward but it is a good strategy to follow for a first date. People expect something in return if they pay the full bill so it is better to pay half the bill so that you are not obliged to return the favour.

• Avoid Alcohol Alcohol is the greatest threat to your judgement and decisions on a date. Better avoid it. Even if you are drinking, drink in limit so that you know what you are doing. Keep your drink in your sight while drinking,

• Take your own car When going on a real date go with your own mode on transportation. Don’t rely on your date.

• Avoid secluded places Remember that you know your date only through internet, so it is better to avoid secluded places when meeting personally

• Follow your instincts No matter your date claims to be a real gentleman, follow your instincts. If something doesn’t feels right to you then it probably isn’t right.

• Inform someone about your date When going on a first date, inform a trusted friend or someone from your family that you are going out. It is better to tell about the person with whom you are going out.

• Stay Alert Even if you are enjoying the date and the person seems to be great, its advisable to be alert whole evening. Keep you cell phone or pager with you and be aware of your surroundings.
