Chatting before Meeting

Before you meet your online lover you must 1st talk to them. This is to gather more information so as to know if they are a good match or someone you should stand up. This will consist of a few emails back and forth.. maybe an exchange of digits to text here and there.. so that they can all lead up to meeting up in the future and seeing if there are sparks.
But there are topics that you might want to steer clear of to avoid miscommunication.
A little harmless messaging is perfectly acceptable, but be careful, some people WILL try to push the line so as to see if this meeting is going to end with an awkward hug or a happy ending.
And as always.. if you are looking for a "happy ending" with this random online junkie.. go for it.. but you never know what kind of diseases these people are caring, so tread lightly.
But to avoid the potential playmate here are some Do's and Don't when 1st chatting it up.
DO Tell them you dig their pics
DON'T tell them you are wondering what is under that sweatshirt they are wearing.
DO mention how long you have been single
DON'T mention how long it has been since you got laid
DO make plans to meet up
DON'T make plans to meet up at 3am
DO tell some jokes to show off your awesome witty side
DON'T tell the one that ends "knock knock, who's there? naked, naked who? Why don't you come over and let's get naked"
DO tell them you like their smile
DON'T tell them you want to see that mouth all kinds of up close and personal

Often times it is easy to get carried away when talking to someone online. The inhibitions are lowered, it becomes kind of like a game...  it's much like being drunk... taking someone home... and then having that awkward moment the next morning regretting everything you said and did the night before. Not that I know anything about that.
Just keep your wits about you. Don't say anything to these people that you have not met that you would not say to a stranger in a dark alley where there is no one around to hear you. At LEAST until you meet them in person.

Happy Dating!
