Online Dating Tips - WorldWide Dating for Single Adults
By Sal Jones
The following are some basic, common sense
safety tips to keep in mind when dating online.
Follow these tips, and you should be perfectly
fine and be able to enjoy all the benefits
online dating has to offer.
Take the following safety precautions, and
you'll make absolutely sure that you are not
doing anything that could be dangerous.
Do not, under any circumstance reveal
any personally identifiable information
in your online dating profile, in your
personal ads, or in your private e-mails
to singles.
Such information includes your real name,
specifics about where you live ("I
live in London" is ok, though) or
any other info that could be used maliciously
or simply without your consent.
* Use only the communications tools provided
by your dating service. They now offer
private e-mail, chat, and even instant
messaging. You should not invite singles
to e-mail you at your regular address,
at least until you get to know them better.
Use your judgement here.
* When you e-mail singles in private,
you may want to consider using an anonymous
e-mail account at a free site such as
Hotmail or Yahoo when you begin getting
to know new people. Take your time to
establish communication and move at your
own pace.
* Be careful with your signatures. Many
of us use multiple signature lines for
our personal and business e-mail correspondence
that include our phone numbers and addresses.
Obviously you'll want to leave this information
out when first contacting any singles
you meet through the personals.
Your best option might be opening an
entirely new free e-mail account, to use
just for your communications with singles
you meet online.
* Remember, you're in control. No one
should ever pressure you into revealing
anything about yourself that you want
to keep private. Anyone who does is not
respecting your boundaries, and is probably
not worth contacting further.
