Are they too sweet/too rude?:

Some individuals come across as too sweet, and in fact bend over backwards to make you a part of their group. Of course, this does not mean that everyone who speaks to you in a nice manner is dangerous, but you have to be on your toes when it comes to thinking about socializing with people from any walks of life, not just the people who are following a lifestyle.

Sometimes, people use the ruse of being too rude to ensure that people do not ask them questions that they are not comfortable with. This is just a ruse, and you should see through it right away, in case you are interacting with these kind of people.

Are they hiding any details about themselves?

Whenever you meet people who are following alternate lifestyles, there are chances that they might not be comfortable giving details about themselves, because most of them are moonlighting as a dominant or a slave, and the people whom they interact with on a daily basis do not have any indication of what they on a personal level.

But, if you have met a group of people, or met a individual, and they do not agree to share their personal information with you after a respectable amount of time that you have spent with them, you would be right in wondering whether they have something to hide from you about their past life or even their current personal life.

Are they of the legal age and mentally stable?

There are many people, over the Internet, or even in the offline world, who indulge in activities that are considered illegal for their age. The sad part is that people with whom they indulge in these activities can also be charged to be party to an illegal act carried out. Therefore, you should be sure that the person or the group of persons with whom you are interacting are of the legal age.
