[Blindtlk] Internet dating for the blind

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hello all!!

I am joining this discussion rather late, so I appoligize if I'm repeating 
what has been said previously.

First, Jen, if this person truly wants to meet you, he will not hesitate to 
see you in a neutral place. Please don't go to his home.

Remember, real estate agents have cell phones, and if he needs to stay close 
to his clients, they can contact him via cell phone.

Also, I would contact the board of realtors in the community where he lives. 
Also, ask him which real estate company he works for, Century 21, for 
instance.  You can always call the local office and ask.

Finally, I would steer clear of the Internet dating sites.
This is just my opinion, but people can create a profile and present 
themselves in whatever light they choose.

I've had far better luck meeting guys who share my interests.

For instance, I have a very wonderful relationship with a man from Portugal. 
We've visited one another twice,and things went beautifully each time.  We 
both have interests in Spanish journalism and in world affairs.
We met in a Spanish language chat room.

Hope this helps.

Liz
