1. In your profile, it is good not to include detailed personal information, such
as your personal home address, job address, telephone number, or email address. Dating sites, especially
the reputable ones, make sure that all their members are safe. Some do it by checking the criminal records
of their members, some by automatically deleting any detailed information in your personal
profile.
2. It would be good if you know more about the person you just met online before
giving him or her any personal information. Take some time in getting to know him or her first before
setting up a date.
3. Don't put false information in your profile or a fake photograph. If you want
people to be honest with you too, be genuine in your information. Honesty is the best policy. A cliché,
yes; but it works in online dating.
4. It might be good to have an email account set up in fee email sites like Yahoo
or Hotmail. Give this email address to online users who want to have your email, instead of your main email
address. If you don't want a person to contact you again, then at least your main email address is safe and
free from his or her emails.
5. Be careful of people who:
- Want to meet up with you instantly and pressure you to do so.
- Bug you to give your personal contact details when they themselves don't
want to give you their personal contact information.
- Are not consistent in giving you information about their martial status, age,
employment.
- Avoid answering questions that are too personal.
6. If somebody is bothering you already, stop sending him or her messages
immediately.
