I'm very curious... but have serious questions!
How do you go about safety precautions? How do you guarantee your not meeting a loonatic, how do you guarantee they are "clean". I'm curious but maybe too cautious. Help!!! |

You can never guarantee someone is "clean". Practising safer sex is the only precaution you can take and have regular tests yourself.
For my own safety i always have a social meet first in a public place like a coffee shop. I do go to clubs and find they are a great place to meet people. A well run club doesn't tolerate the arseholes  |

In all seriousness , it's part if the fun not knowing until you meet them  |

you can't do any of those things. i've been in a relationship with someone who hid his lunacy really well, lying shit that he was (but good at it).
for safety you could have socials first, it can give you a sense of whether someone would respect you or not.
as for clean, it's up to you to look after your own sexual health in whatever way you deem fit. |

Common sense, gut feel, being savvy, suss behavior online.
Sadly even with the latter and more the loons & fruitcakes occasionally get through.
For first, second or more meets (especially one offs) a neutral location etc is wise. Also keeping personal info such as real name, precisely where you live, where you work etc to yourself. With the latter if someone proves to be a fruitcake or nutter they're easier to shake off.
Beyond there it's no different than everyday friendships. Anyone can keep something hidden for a while before they turn and you realise they're a casual weirdo or complete psycho.
In contrast there's plenty of diamond people on the scene.

One bit of advice I would give. Is the second you have the slightest doubt about someone. Don't meet them. Been on and off here and other sites or the last few years. I'm now at that point where the second that little red flag I my mind pops up. I'm not meeting them. Could be something really small. Once the flags up, I'm out!

There are no guarantees in life it's all random.
Just manage the chaos as best you can. |

Making it clear up front that you want to verify by phone or by Skype/FaceTime is a great way to pre-filter the weirdos.
When it comes to actually meets we will only meet verified users, in a public place with no promises of anything else unless we completely trust their feedback.
In sum, do your research, trust your instinct and never drop your standards.

That's a good approach, we are similar. |

That's a pretty good idea never thought about that. Std testing at a swingers club.
I know some might find that a mood killer. But we'd probably pop in every now and then. |

Usually go for a social meet first before any action.
Ask them questions...test their reactions and set boundaries.
If they don't like you boundaries don't try and meet them half way.
I spoke to a really nice bloke a few months back who seemed really nice. We were on the verge of meeting with my hubby. He asked me about my boundaries and limitations and he wasn't happy and became a nuisance and accused me of being a fake because I wouldn't give him what he wanted.
Always stick to your guns and go with your gut instinct. |

Take your time to get to know someone and meet in a public place and always chat on the phone before meeting. (so you have their number) Also if it doesn't feel right end it there politely. |

Thanks guys again!! We've really been working on a meet very soon. Being newbies it's exciting yet scary!
We are hoping to find a couple experienced and willing to be patient if needed.
