Alleged Online Predator Accused of Drugging and Raping Women He Met Online

And this is why despite all the stories you hear of wonderful couples that have met online, I will never use one of these dating services.....it is too easy to hide your true nature...

i can't see how it's riskier than a lot of other methods of meeting a potential mate.

it's just a matter of exercising proper care and caution when you go on the first date. ...

I think it is riskier because people are more likely to let their guard down on a first date when they feel they really know this person (who they've been talking to online for weeks) than someone you've just met or a blind date or even someone you've seen just casually in the hall at work....
 
and the risk to teens is even GREATER!!!!

you know, i hadn't thought about it quite that way. that's a very good point.

I dunno... I've had dates arranged through several methods - on-line, set-up, people I've met, etc - and had similar successes and problems with all of them. But then, I'm really careful on first dates regardless of how well I think I know the man anyway.
