Once you have cleared that, your options and comfort level will open right up.
Stick with verified and reviews ladies only. No Reviews = No Date! Stay far away from BP ladies that you cannot find reviews of on this and other reputable sites. There are guys that like to be a trailblazer and see these unknown ladies (and there ARE some gems out there) but as a newbie to this, I highly recommend you steer clear until you have some real experience under your belt. Google searches on BP listed names, phone numbers and email addresses can be a real life-saver.
Also, get a "hobby" phone for ALL hobby communications and activities. An anonymous and untraceable, pay by the minute phone. You can get one at WalMart to Walgreens. The kind that you by refill minutes and that you can dispose of at a moments notice if necessary. Pay for it an everything else with cash only, untraceable.
