Online dating
is quickly becoming a large virtual meeting place for singles
from all walks of life. Because of today's fast paced society
coupled with the growing number of Internet users, online dating
offers a logical, convenient and inexpensive way for singles
wanting to meet, chat or interact.
More and more singles are finding real relationships, with
minimal risk and only a small investment of their time - some of
which end up in marriage.
Online Dating Tips:
Begin slowly
- Be on guard when someone seems too good to be true.
- Start communicating by text messaging or email first.
Protect Your Anonymity
- Don't give out your last name, your real email address, home
address, workplace, or any identifying info from your profile.
Make sure your email signature file doesn't contain any
identifying info or is turned off.
- Stop talking to anyone who keeps insisting you give him this
info.
- Take as much time as is required to feel comfortable with
someone before you give out any personal info.
- Ask as many questions as you like and be sure you are satisfied
with the replies.
- Go with your gut instinct; move slowly and wisely; you can be
as selective as you like.
- Cautious decisions that are well thought out will usually
produce more favorable results in online dating.
- Be careful not to trust someone that is not worthy of your
trust. A suitor must earn you trust by being honorable and
up-front on a consistent basis.
- Be responsible with your online (dating) behavior and romances.
Don't rush into premature intimacy with someone online ? take
your time.
Although these precautions may sound a little scary, they are not
meant to discourage you at all from online dating. However, these
measures should be taken to protect your privacy, so that your
personal information doesn't get into the wrong hands.
Ask For A Photograph
- A photo will give you a good idea on the appearance of the
person and adds another dimension to your perception of them.
Most online dating sites allow you to upload pictures. Seeing
several pictures of the subject in different settings and angles
is even better. If they aren't willing to provide a picture it
means they have something to hide.
Talk On the Telephone
A telephone conversation can show you a person's communication
skills and give you a better feel of their character. Be sure,
however not to give your phone number to a stranger. Block your
caller ID, or use a pay phone initially. Only reveal your
telephone number when you feel completely at ease with the
person.
By following these precautions you will be better prepared to
actually go out on a physical date when you feel you are ready.
