| People say i trust strangers easily. I wonder if they are right. My reason being that i dont expect someone to distrust me when i am being sincere just because we are meeting for the first time. What do you think? | |

| You can trust anyone you believe to be trustworthy. Trust your instincts, but always keep your guard up people can be decieving. There is no reason to distrust someone til they give you a reason and then it is to hard to get that trust back | |

| I think a person shouldn't trust others very easily. If you know that you can see when a person is deceiving, then it's okay to trust a person who seems trustworthy. But if you don't really make a distinction, then you shouldn't trust anyone before you are absolutely sure they're trustworthy. | |

| Meeting some one for the first time.........I can say.....I never been a person to put my trust in to many people. I think u have to find out some ones interior motives before trusting them. Think about the way ya'll met, think about what ya are trying to accomplish...Most of all think if u have something they many want r need. they all factor into whether or not some one can be trusted off the back. Then on top of that u still have to keep ur gaurd up and observe ppl. | |

| It isn't all or nothing. We have various levels of trust that we allot to people depending on our relationship with them. I think that some trust is necessary. We have to trust companies, governments, cab drivers, police officers, and various other people that we don't personally know. You should only trust to a reasonable extent, and only to the extent that it makes operation within society reasonably smooth -- but never let go of doubt, uncertainty, and skepticism. They're essential tools for intellectual rigor. |

| Lot of good advice in this thread. Personally I feel that too much trust leaves you open to be taken advantage of. A little caution is always warranted. Make people earn your trust. | |

| I have had a lot of experience with internet dating and i can tell you that you have to have a plan before a date. 1) Someone needs to know what kind of vehicle he's driving, what color it is, license plate number, etc, as well as a good description of him. Best place to have them meet you is somewhere in public. Have a friend watching, just to be safe. 2) You should have a call-in time that you would call someone at a certain time to let them know you're ok and decide when the next call will be, all the way till you get back home. 3) Don't rush into anything. If you do decide to have sex, use protection, for crying out loud. You have no idea where and who this person has been or with. They could have AIDs or Syphilis or some other unpleasant disease. 4) Don't let someone know where you live until you've known them a decent amount of time and they've earned your trust. You have to trust people to an extent in any given situation, but if it's someone you don't know well and especially if it's off the internet, make sure you protect yourself. A bottle of mace and a horn/whistle is a good thing to have in your purse in case of an emergency. |
