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.
