When a person using a chat room are they looking for their friend or are they looking for a friend?  This is an interesting thought to think about when your friend says to you "Oh I was in a room looking for a friend of mine".  Is your friend looking for a friend or are they searching for a new chatroom friend?  These are things that you might want to know if they are starting to have unusual behavior.  If they want to go out of town for a few days by their self, if they go some where they never had an interest in before, if they want to go out during the week when they are usually in bed by 10:00pm.  They return from their night out during the week at 1:00am.  You might want to have a friendly talk with them.  Safety should always be on the top of everyones list when a friend you care about.  Dating chat can be fun as long as you use your head and not your heart.  Adult chat services should be used as a way to just chat with people and in time you may make that move to see this person.  We all know there are people that do meet their special person from the internet in an adult chat room.  Keep your mind on safety for you and your friends.
