I posted a personals AD describing in detail what it was I was seeking. I’ve been contacted by numerous individuals offering exactly the opposite of what I want and it has become quite daunting.

I am very new to the community and am doing everything I can to be safe and take necessary precautions when speaking with individuals. I understand that in order to do this the right way, I should take my time and weed out potential prospects, which is what I have been doing.

My question is: Do you find that it is better to start rapport with someone online or IRL, say at a meet and greet or whatever it is called? What are some things that have worked for you while navigating through the lifestyle to find someone that matches with you?
