And.. I'd say there is no particular length of time, a freak is going to be a freak whether you've known them 10 minutes or 10 months

My friend who started online dating... this is what I sent him, is a bit more involved than just coffee... but still, i would prefer that someone know who it is your meeting and when and that person is contacted after the meeting

Dating.. STRANGERS from the interweb:
When you go on a date, send the person's profile link to someone or hell, even print it out and give it to someone
Do *not* pick them up nor let them pick you up... Meet somewhere
Be sure it is a place that is not secluded... and maybe, in case you feel like doing something after dinner, make the place in an area where there is diff. options of things to do... a place that maybe has restaurants and bars or a movie theater as well
Before you leave to go on date.. call or text someone
When you go to leave to go home call or text the person again
Giving a time of when you should be calling is nice too, that way they know when to call the cops if need be!
Just if things go overly to well, remember to text your fried and say you'll text by noon the next day ;-)

...Yea, i'm a freak.. but I am serious... you never know who is a psycho

This! This is a smart move. Just don't forget by accident.

I'mma say C. While some freaks are always freaks, they are better revealed over time. I'd rather give a person a chance to slip up and drop hints about something, than to assume that I'll just FIND OUT when I see them.

Just play it safe and I think you'll be okay.

Oh, had a question, too! Is Red Cross still hiring in Boston? I have a friend who is still looking for a job (yes, that one). If you're okay with it, I'd love to be able to pass info on to him.
