Since the advent of internet romances, the playing field has been wide open-
- not only is it much easier to meet people outside of your normal social circle, but thanks to online matchmaking services, like
The Ashley Madison Agency, the odds of finding someone you desire for a romantic tryst are easier than ever.

People are still concerned about safety issues, but those worries are easily quelled. Meeting someone through The Ashley Madison Agency is inherently similar to meeting through specialized offline venues and as long as the same standards of safety are followed, you can feel truly at ease while getting to know each other in this new social scene. Just trust your instincts and use common sense.


* Don't give out any personal information until your instincts tell you that this is someone you can trust. It's difficult to get a sense from just a few emails or phone calls.
* Go at your own pace.
* Ask a lot of questions and watch for inconsistencies. Now's the time to be a inquisitive.
* Avoid the Cyrano-syndrome. Emails can be deceiving so don't get carried away in an email fantasy.
* Be sure to see a photo and talk on the phone before you meet.
* Always meet during the day in an open, public place and provide your own transportation to and from. Tell a friend where you're going and check in when you return.
* Plan for a short first date so that if you feel uncomfortable, you have an easy way out.
