[ad_1]

People use Craigslist for various reasons. Some want to sell goods, some want to buy goods, some need a service and some want to provide a service. A lot of people use Craigslist as a means to meet new people or even date. The internet is a dangerous place and you never know with what intention people want to meet you. So you have to beware when you make friends online. Here are some things you must do to avoid any kind of danger.

Firstly, when you decide to meet a person you found on Craigslist, you must make sure to pick a venue other than your home or their home. Meeting in a public area like a restaurant is much safer.

If you can manage it, request someone you trust to accompany you especially if you are a woman. That way, if anything happens, you are not alone.

It is advisable to be available on your phone when you are going to meet this person. Keep your mobile phone with you at all times and make sure you are getting network coverage.

It may sound silly, but carrying pepper spray is not a bad idea. If the both of you get along and things work out, you can look back at this and laugh to your heart"s content.

Lastly, when you have decided the venue make sure you let a trusted person know what you are going to be doing and where exactly you will be meeting this person. Remember, it is always better to be safe than sorry.
