Are you one of those, looking for a perfect dating partner online? While online dating can be fun-filled, exciting and adventurous on one hand, it can be dangerous on the other, as there is no authenticity of facts you come to know about that unseen person. Therefore, it becomes much more important to exercise caution when choosing online dating as your option. Here are some tips on dating safety to help you get started:
•Carefully choose your online name, especially if you’re a female. Create a nickname to use just for online dating sites. It is never a good idea to use your real name.
•Do not provide your personal information such as full name, address, phone number, credit card or account number, etc, unless you know who you're dealing with. This will ensure your safety, as there are chances that person you are interacting with has some ill intensions in his mind and can also misuse your personal data. •Perform a background check before meeting that person.
•Talk on the phone a few times before arranging a meeting. It will help you get to know his/her real intensions.
•Learn to trust your instincts. Our instincts are always trying to tell us something. If your instincts say something about your online encounters, then you can almost bet that an in-person encounter will feel the same.
•If you decide to meet your online friend, don't go alone. Bring a group of friends along with you and schedule your meeting during the day and in a public place. If the person you are meeting have good intensions in his mind, then he will agree to meet in the safest possible surroundings.
•Before going out to meet him ask for his photo. This will help you determine whether the person is someone with whom you want to correspond or not. If the person doesn't send a photo and makes excuses, stop corresponding with them, as there are chances that he is fake. Don't assume that the person who chats to you on the computer screen will be the same person in real life and if you do get a photo, remember that it might not be the current or authentic one.
•It's important never to let your guard down when on a first date. Never assume a man is safe just because he claims to be religious or a gentleman. Chances are that he is presenting his fake picture of himself.
•Even if you’re having a blast and the chemistry is great, it’s a good idea to remain alert and always keep your cell phone on. You can also keep your best friend’s number or number of near by police station in your last dialed call. This will help you to call for help in no time.
You might think you know the person because you have been chatting online or corresponding via email, but remember to use common sense when dealing with that unseen one, because people on net are not completely honest. Dating safely is very important in initial days as you are still getting to know someone you know very little about. So, remember these tips when going for an online dating. Stay Alert and Be Safe!!
