Online Dating Safety Tips
Maintain Privacy
Be sure not to include too much personal information in your online profile.
Consider not revealing your real name, regular email address, work or home addresses or phone numbers. Use a mobile phone rather than a home number for early conversations and dates.
Keep It Real
Be honest with your profile, remember you may want to meet these people at some point. If you post a photo use one that is current and most definitely one that is actually you - serious folks it happens.
Fools Rush In
Don't rush in, take your time getting to know the people you meet online, talk on the phone before meeting face to face and ask lots of questions.
Going Public
Arrange to meet in a populated, public place for your first date. Let a close friend or relative know exactly where you are going to be. Keep your mobile phone with you. Consider organising your own transport to and from the date.
Go With Your Gut
If something feels wrong, trust your instincts, they're usually right.
Hasta La Vista Baby
Block members that make you uncomfortable. Online dating sites generally have the facility to allow you to block any members with whom you do not wish to communicate.
