danger, consider the following
tips.
1. In your profile, it is good not to include detailed personal
information, such as your personal home address, job address,
telephone number, or email address. Dating sites, especially the
reputable ones, make sure that all their members are safe. Some
do it by checking the criminal records of their members, some
automatically deleting any detailed information in your personal
profile.
2. It would be good if you know more about the person you just
met online before giving him or her any personal information
about you. Take
some time in knowing him or her first before
setting up a date with the person.
3. Don't put false information in your profile or a fake
photograph. If you want people to be honest with you too, be
genuine in your information. Honesty is the best policy. A
cliché, yes; but it works in online dating.
4. It might be good to have an email account set up in fee email
sites like Yahoo or Hotmail. Give this email address to online
users who want to have your email, instead of your main email
address. In case you don't want a person to contact you again,
then at least
your main email address is safe and free from his
or her emails.
5. Be wary of people who are lying to you. Be careful of people
who:
- Want to meet up with you instantly and pressures you.
- Bug you to give your personal contact details when they
themselves don't want to give you their personal contact
information.
- Are not consistent in giving you information about their
martial status, age, employment, among others.
- Avoid answering questions that are reasonable directly.
6. If somebody is bothering you already,
stop sending him or her
messages immediately.
Online dating is fun, but you have to be aware that it also has
safety risks as well.
