Which is safer? Picking up some one at a bar or meeting some one online?

i think it would be safer to meet someone at a bar mybe take some friends out with you. i don,t think i would meet someone online by myself

i do not know which is safer.i have an online friend who seems to be a great guy and my gut feeling is that he is very nice.if i tell about this to others,i know,they will frown upon me.

I would think that the bar might be safer, but only if this is a bar you go to a lot. That way, if something bad did happen (God forbid) the people at the bar could help identify the man. Meeting someone from online can be scary, but it also can be very nice. This is where I met my wife, online at a site where we both have interactive journals. But, we were friends online for a couple of years and talked a lot on the phone before we actually met in person

Both ways have risks but I think online is safer. You can talk to someone for a long time and only exchange phone numbers. When you decide to meet the person meet in a very public place and maybe have a friend to watch that they don't follow you when you leave. There are predators out there however you choose to meet someone so always take sensible precautions to protect yourself.

I think there's no harm in meeting someone online, meaning, virtual. But if it's like, you're gonna go out with that person i think it's much better if he/she is someone you've already met, say in a bar. I'm not a fan of online chatting then going for a meet up. There are a lot of online fraud these days.

Neither is safer than the other,people can be raped at anytime/anywhere no matter where & when they meet!

At a bar. I am much better at spotting weirdos or creeps in person. I seem to have some kind of bu11$h1+ radar that just doesn't come across on the computer.

someone online is a far cry. it takes a long time. then if you pick someone from the bar, at least you would talked in person to that girl. so some scope to study her mind. in online, this is not possible. just open the gift box. just get what is in. no expectations work. so picking from bar is better.

You can't really decide as to which is safer: Picking someone at a bar or meeting someone whom you met online. Both are equally risky and you have to be equally careful in both the situations while making a go.The decision lies completely at your onw discretion.
I know being a guy makes it easier for me to say this but it has the equal disadvantage for me. I do like to meet friends online or rather see someone at a bar but the other person is equally cautious to have a go at me.
If you are picking someone at the bar (LOL. . I don't realy go to a bar), you get to see that person but you don't get to know the nature of that person. This kind of situation often leads to One night stands!! But unfortunately that doesn't happen over here in India.And if you are going to meet a person whom you met online, gives you an option to know the nature of that person through chatting but puts u equally in risk because you cannot see the face of that person.
So, i think there are pros and cons of both the situations and thats all upto you what you decide before stepping into any kind of situation.
