Hi Jbug,

Another thing is keep your mobile phone with you at all times!!

Also if you have a land line, NEVER give out that number until you know the person really, really well.

I say this because there are telephone directories where one can type in a person's phone number and it will reveal that person's residential address.

Cell phone numbers cannot be traced to addresses as of yet, but that may change at some point.

Also... one thing I've always found useful is to closely observe how the guy treats the waiter or waitress if something is not right with the food order.

Is he impatient, demanding, rude/crude or hostile with them?

If he behaves that way towards them, then that is how he will treat you at some point, so beware!

Anyway... good luck and let us know how everything goes.
