Hi Momma…I joined Facebook dating…tired of being alone, but I’m nervous! And I have a few questions… the guy that I’m talking to that I think I like works nights and gets off at 3 a.m., so I suggested we meet up for breakfast. What do you think? Besides Facebook dating, is there another dating site that I don’t have to pay to find a date just in case I need a backup site Facebook dating is very thin on decent guys, I think? And how are you handling meeting someone from a dating site during Covid…I mean, of course, I wear my mask, and I live with hand sanitizer, so with that being said… and the guy that I’m thinking about meeting it’s about 30 to 45 minutes away, should I offer to meet halfway or?

I met my x off a dating site. We were together 10 years. I would offer to meet half way, after all it is the first meeting. Dating sites can be great tools to bring people closer or give someone, someone to talk to BUT can be dangerous. Just be careful, ways tell someone where you are going so if heaven forbid something happens they have a starting point.

I met my current on FB dating i drove the 30 min to meet him, we were both amazed it seems we’ve known each other forever and only just met. It felt like I came home. Now were inseparable. Just make smart choices.

As a crime junkie i suggest if you do meet up turn on your location & let someone know where you are at. If you leave update that person. Also turn on your phone SOS system.

Met my hubby of 18 yrs off very old AOL. Meet in a public place breakfast sounds fun
Internet dating can be hard but if you do it safely then you should be fine. Meeting for breakfast is a great idea with his schedule. Just tell someone you trust where you’re going and when. Then tell them you’ll check in by a certain time.
I think church is better place … lol
I personally don’t like Facebook dating … I’ve met a few decent guys on there but several creeps. And if you say “no” to someone there’s a high chance that you’ll see them again a day or two later. I like bumble! You match with guys, and it’s up to you to message them within 24 hours. It’s always your choice. Also has video chat and call options.

I didn’t even know FB had a dating site. I said be careful, meet in public places till you feel comfortable meeting somewhere more private.
I met my husband on meetme
I met my husband 7 years ago on POF, I found out I had mutal friends with his sisters and it made me feel a little better about it. But I had met others online prior to him and it went fine. Just be safe. Always tell someone where you are going and leave if you feel uncomfortable.

I did eharmony with amazing results. But as far as safety- Just meet in public the first few times. Check all the registries. Def Google a person before it gets serious. Etc. Good luck!

Always have a friend go with you sit at another table where y’all can see each other . Always be safe meet in a public place . Good luck . All I have had is trying to get me to be a fwb and a hook up with ain’t going to happen . Good luck be safe tho
Theres pof, cupid,bumble you can try as long as you two dont make out I think mask and hand sanitizer is fine lol i would meet half way to be courteous since he works late…its tough being single and dealing with covid so sometimes making a buddy helps pass time see where it goes dont have an expectation and you’ll be fine
I met my husband on a chatroom WAY before all these dating apps came out. It wasn’t even a dating chatroom just an in general every day chatroom. I don’t have any experience with any of these other apps but I know a ton of people that have had success with POF if you’re looking for something else.
And yes, I’d offer to meet halfway. As for the COVID stuff I’ve really avoided people because we’re a high risk family but for an everyday person wear a mask and use hand sanitiser and you should be ok.
I met my husband on plenty of fish! We have been together for 6 years and married for almost 2 years!

I met my partner on flirt and we’ve been together just over 7 years
Plenty of fish POF, is awesome!!!
Ok cupid…me and my husband met on it 10 years ago
Nothing wrong with it…
Sometimes we need a little push.
Just be careful. Public place at all times.
My biggest suggestion here to any single mom… check the sex offender registry before going on a date with anyone. Im not saying people are not cautious but I know in my area, I dont feel like this is done enough. It’s public record. Just a thought to proceed with caution

I never tried a dating app but definitely be cautious with whoever you meet. Let someone know who you are with, where you are going, message someone what vehicle they are driving. You never know what will happen. This way if something does happen they have information about where you were and who you were with. I met mine at Walmart when I first started working there

Never judge a book by its cover, I had always talked rubbish about the spiritual healers because i was living a luxurious life with my husband and kids. I never believed that anyone can solve someone’s problems. I could rudely reply to the posts about the healers with insults little didi know that one day they will help me. It started when a strange disease attacked one of my kid for almost eight months. I visited all the hospitals in South Africa but the doctors couldn’t see the disease. I went to pastors, Sheiks, Sisters, and priests but couldn’t see any change. I sold all of my properties and lost my business because I was charged lots of money. I went back to Zero. My husband was used to a luxurious life since he was coming from a rich family. He started losing interest in me, disrespected me, insulted me in our kids’ presence, all my in-laws hate me. I had no shoulder to cry on.I was left with no hope. The most heartbreaking part is when my husband started cheating on me with one of the member of Parliament which I won’t mention her name. I got depressed and tried to commit suicide until when my friend asked me to contact papa marere . I had lost hope and besides didn’t trust healers. I called them scammers. My friend used his cellphone and called her. She gave him a date to go to her office and on that date, my friend picked me very early in the morning and took me there. I explained everything to her. She asked us to go back and bring the sick kid and we did so. She cast her spells and after a few hours, my son was healed. After 24 hours my husband came back home and apologized to me. he gave me a ring for my business and as I speak now am not complaining. I got back everything.+2348109805184 is his number for help. Email him via ( marerespells@gmail. com ) he is INCREDIBLE.
Dating these days just sucks!! I always meet them at the place and try to pick something in the middle. I’m on bumble, POF, and tinder. No luck on any of them. I might be just too picky.
Take someone with you and meet in a public place halfway is fair for both of you!
If you already think you like it go for it. Nothing to loose.
I meet in public places somewhere in between…I have also met a couple on Hinge…you can message without paying for premium
Facebook has dating?
Don’t just tell somewhere where you’re going-
If you’re meeting someone, chances are you’ve exchanged phone numbers. Screenshot his profile pics. Give your “safety person/ people” as many details about him as you’ve collected… phone number, city of residence, pics, etc.
Be sure to check in with your person at set times, especially when you’re leaving your date and have arrived home and are safely indoors. And have a safe word for your person.

Please before meeting somebody off of a dating site get a background check make sure there’s no pending charges please I went on a dating site metadude started dating them all the sudden I know he’s in jail for rape the entire time we was dating he had pending rap charges.
I met my partner on fb through mutual friends I randomly added him as I was lonely and we started talking daily I waited 3-4 weeks until I invited him over as I was more comfortable meeting in my comfortable environment in case I wasn’t comfortable I could ask him to leave
Please be careful as u can see there are a number of women always going missing don’t just meet up with anyone
Eharmony so expensive didn’t realize like $400+ for 24 months so far crickets well the people who have reached out 
and the ones that do engage in a little. Its like pulling teeth need a natrual flowing conversation nothing forced. Sick of putting out the olive branch with nothing back. I have no problem getting out meeting in person. Having some fun etc. Maybe some of us single gals should do meetup,lol.
Also any apps that are actually FREE??? APPS FOR full figured woman?
I’ve tried it the past few weeks. I’m seem to be a magnet for the creeps and unwelcomed pics. 
Becareful out there! This day and time it is hard to be safe! Definitely meet in a public place
I an on POF had no luck may change to another dating site
