a couple of colleagues are ready to meet new people for friendship and possibly more. I am not looking for names of sites here but more what suggestions one could safely make, to warn them of the dangers of the net if they are new to the "game" without scaring them off altogether.

What tips do you have please? (One male, one female colleague)

Male or Female, when going on a meet, be sure to let someone know where they plan to meet and possibly go on from there.

and keep in touch with someone whilst on that meet.

They advertise on TV all the time! "Match" that! Or suggest using google to search as bad advice will be thrown back at you.

You could give them both each others numbers

Good point, I dont want to suggest sites for that reason - cannot take that responsibility. But I am wondering about the dos and don'ts, expectations and reality etc when dating again. Both colleagues are quite naive in their own way.

Excellent - but they don't get on that well and are very different in their hobbies and aspirations in life, one is a bookworm ... the other a gym fan!

O o O oo

I would have thought as you were a single woman once on sex sites that you would know what security measures to take when meeting strangers......unless you joined as a couple only?

Personally if two adults can't figure it out for themselves I wouldn't get involved!

You could tell them that as they are single they are free to play the field and should 'try a few people on for size', you know.

You may even go one step further and suggest a couple of sites that will make this 'sampling' easier for them. The one that immediately springs to mind is FABulous. That site has lots and lots of people on it who will be able to assist them in their 'sampling' and then they can make an informed choice as to what they want to do from there.

Tell them not to go on POF.

Thats a bigger shagging site than any swingers site I know!

Neither are quite ready for a sex site - I was thinking more of a dating site initially. From that stance I was wondering, besides the usual "let somebody know where you are" and "Dont invite them to your home" etc., what kind of suggestions to give. I never had any negative experience myself of a dating site or off fabs when I was single but I know of others who have gone in with perhaps the wrong expectations. So was really wondering more about general pointers other people had.

That is very helpful Thanks

Just be careful, follow their instincts, there are a lot of "players" on dating sites......... last guy I met on from a dating site turned out to be married!!!!

Like a previous poster said just take all the precautions you would on this site and don't have too high expectations at the outset!!

Sorry if that sounds very negative, but only going from my own experience!

And why I said what I did. This site is more extreme ( if that is the right word) than a dating site......so any advice could come from your own experience.

As well as the usual meeting in public places, even meeting with a friend for the first time use your own experiences from here to assist them.

I would also suggest them using a second phone or SIM card to speak/text folk initially as well as making sure any email address they are contactable on hasn't got a surname in it.

Any site they join, they should also join a few sex sites, to see if their potential dates are on the sex sites too

I'm not on any dating sites, I have all I need at the mo
