subject: Practice Dating Safely: Tips In Dating Without Risks [print this page] Are you a hopeless romantic for so long? This can be very frustrating as it is also tiring to find someone of your perfect match. Fortunately, there is now online dating to expand your search for that special someone of yours. However, if you are still a newbie in this kind of online dating experience, you have to practice and know some precautions first just to keep you safe from "seemed-to-be-daters" online.
1. If it is too good to be true then avoid it, if not, do not risk it. Try to just email or PM first the person. If he/she responds, then try to read between the lines and follow some consistencies in his/her mails. Trust your instincts and be careful of trusting anybody having this kind of profiles unless you have verified a couple of times that what he/she is saying is the truth.
2. Do not share everything especially your real name, address, and even phone number. Trust is hard to earn even at real encounters. So why trust a person you met online that easy, right? It takes time to trust a person and online dating experience is not an exception.
3. Most free online dating sites do not offer background checks. So if you are interested on a person, make sure you double check his identity first before jumping into the next stage.
4. Pick a online date that has a photo and updates his/her photos all the time. This way you can be sure that it is a real person and not just a make-up profile.
5. If your online date wants to call you, then you nay give your cell phone number instead but make sure that you have subscribed to blocking techniques and have a caller ID feature. This way, you can be sure of your own safety as well.
6. Be cautious of the character your date shows online. There are some online daters who take online dating seriously that they may be frustrated, angry or even post danger to you when you have rejected or offended them. If this is the case, just block the person right away and report the action to the site administrator.
7. Lastly, when you and your online date decided to meet offline, you probably want to spend your first actual date on a crowded place and never ever let yourself be left alone with your date. It is still best to practice caution even if you know this person can be trusted.
Remember that online dating is still fun despite of the bad reports it has been showing up on the news. You have to take note that we have control over what can happen to us if we practice precaution and safety when meeting and dating online. If you feel that you have a bad feeling over at someone you have been dating online, then it is best not to continue it. Just keep your eyes open and make sure that you are always safe at what you are doing and deciding when it comes to online dating.
