If you've been texting and are interested in, the natural next step is to meet in real life and see if you can communicate offline. Finding the right opportunity presents all sorts of challenges, especially if you and your potential trans date have different expectations, comfort levels and preferences for speed and timing.
When evaluating the right time to meet, it's also important to first determine if you really want to meet the person. Knowing how others treat you online can help you make informed decisions, such as dating or screening potential transgender people. Here are two strategies to help you decide if and when to meet someone:
1. Put your safety first, watch out for red flag, and be smart when planning your first trans date.
Ask yourself what it's like to be online with a potential transgender people. While many people agree that online transgender dating communication is fraught with unease, understand that, in general, being nervous about making a good impression or being interested in someone is not the same as being nervous about a particular person. If a potential transgender date is disrespectful to your boundaries, makes it difficult to take the time to respond during the workday, and obsessively asks you where you live or work, these are major red flags.
While having a transgender date is an exciting feeling, you may want to Ley that person down easily and save your energy for other potential matches. Also, consider your safety when planning a transgender date. Meet in public for the first time(not at home or on your first trans date). No matter how tempting it is to meet in a private place or take your transgender home with you, it's worth adjusting your pace and slowing down as you get to know each other.
2. Use online trans dating as a potential transgender mate.
The way someone communicates online says a lot about who they are and gives you clues about their schedule. Use the information as a signal of someone's values, respect for boundaries, relationship goals, and social skills, and then decide whether to meet or not. For example, excessive sexual comments often suggest that your potential transgender date is looking for a casual hookup, expecting lovemaking sooner rather than later, or has boundary issues. If someone is sexually suggestive or complimentary of you and you're looking for something serious, it's best to break up rather than meet. Allow yourself to say no to a first transgender date while reminding yourself to stay open and give others a chance (which can be a tricky issue).
