ORIGINAL: Eronaturtle I'm not used to the internet as a forum for meeting people with similar interests, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how to go about finding someone and setting up meetings with them. For example, I'm not very experienced - should I let the people I talk to know this, or try to convey confidence that I know what I'm doing? Any help is appreciated, thanks. I think I understand what you're asking here...IMHO- I would NEVER make it plainly known that I was new to the internet meeting thing, unless I happened to meet someone I felt REALLY comfortable and safe sharing that info with. I wouldn't outright lie and say I've been doing this forever, if I haven't, but I simply would not lead off with that information. Why set yourself up? Just too many predators out there. What I would do, is get internet savvy in a hurry, tho, if you intend to stick around for a while. Read, read, read...did I say read? Oh, yeh, read. There are lots of articles out there on internet dating safety for the vanillas and kinksters alike. Check out the boards here to start. Also, I came across a great article that someone here on cm wrote called The Moby Dick Theory of Internet Relationships. I don't have the link anymore, but I'm sure you can find it by doing a google search. It's a must read for anyone seriously considering internet dating/relationships. And, I'd take Ron's advice too- Get thee to Paddles, find a munch...or drop in on a demo or mtg at MAsT, DSF, TES, Brooklyn Leather...there's way too much going on in NYC Metro area for you not to be able to find ppl...we're EVERYWHERE! Happy hunting! gina
