Online Dating Tip #1 – Safety

heart with computer micePeople lie and the anonymity of online dating allows for easy deception.

How do you know who you are talking to online is really who they say they are? You don’t — until you meet them. Many people are warry of meeting potential dates online because of this very reason. But, if you take a few simple precautions you can avoid getting burned:

1. First dates /meetings should be held in a public place such as a coffee shop.  The first time you meet someone from online isn’t about having a dream date — it’s about meeting and deciding if you want to see them again. Do not exchange personal information that could be later used for stalking purposes.

2. During your meeting, have a friend scheduled to call you at a set time. This is your check-up call so that your friends can make sure that:

a.) you are still alive.

b.) you have the opportunity to leave an awkward/unwanted situation if needed.

If you keep these tips in mind, you should feel more at ease to seek relationships online. Good luck.
