See, the situation that you are reading about is only as bad as you want to imagine. There is always some risk involved in dating and I do, of course, understand the concern and so did clients of my friend. That’s why the code of conduct that I was talking about was set up – precisely for that specific reason – to make sure everyone is on the same page. Besides, weather guys like it or not, the final decision in 90% of dates is made based on personal impression, not what the guy is saying on the dating site. Just off the top of my memory I can recall a story of one of my female friends who were successfully communicating with a gentleman on a dating site, who sounded generous, caring and open hearted – only to find out he’s an ex-criminal who were pulling one of the well-known jail pranks on her.

Back to your story though, even though the business your friend works for may be legit the client could still be shady. If the client is too busy to go out and look for someone on their own before meeting them how easy is it to believe they are looking for a solid relationship. You no doubt heard about the respectable student that recently killed a girl in Boston. By never speaking with someone directly you are even farther from the truth of the person you are going to a date with. Background checks don’t clear everyone either so that isn’t a fool proof option. So if a professional guy who claims to be to busy to use the sites and pays your friend to represent him, she doesn’t actually know him personally either so she can’t adequately represent his character. This whole thing can setup some very unsafe situations for any woman to go into.
