[Blindtlk] Online Dating

[justin williams]

Personally, as long as I had a name, I'd go to coffee with the lady whether
she had a photo or not if I liked the profile and what she said over our
time through email.  However, I'm a male who had done wrewtling, grappling,
and a variety of other Martial arts for more than twenty years. I have a
very high level of skill, so I'm safe, However, for the average person, no
name, no picture, no date. If you feel safe without a picture, then just get
him name.  Carry a friend with you to watch if possible.  
Justin.

First, I am a huge advocate for online dating! I meant my now husband in
2010 through match.com. We have been married for three years and have one
daughter. Be very careful though, I think the bigger elephant in the room is
why hasn't he told you his name yet?
