Online dating can be brilliant, though it’s, of course, important to keep tabs on your own safety and security when meeting new people. With a little common sense and forethought, internet dating can be 100% safe and a whole lot of fun too – here’s a look at a few tips on staying safe:
Trust Your Gut – First and foremost, if you ever for a minute have the feeling that the person you’re in contact with is not all they appear to be, break off the connection there and then. It’s just not worth taking the chance on such an unknown. see this short video after the cut:
Stay In Your Comfort Zone – There will always be those online dating site members that are interested in nothing more than cyber sex. So no matter how well you appear to be getting on with something, stay in your comfort zone and don’t’ be persuaded to do anything you aren’t comfortable with.
Never Go Alone – Perhaps the most important tip of all is to never, ever go alone to the first couple of meetings with a new contact. You have no idea who they are or whether they’ve been honest with you, so take a friend to watch your back.
Public Places – And in the same vein, but sure to choose busy public places for the first few meetings and do go straying off too far to anywhere secluded…not until you’ve really gotten to know them.
Be Honest – And finally, it can be a dangerous game to lie too much in your dating profile and online interactions as you risk seriously annoying and upsetting your counterpart. So just for the sake of safety, it’s advisable to be as honest as possible and to be yourself throughout – if they’re really worthy of your company they’ll be more than interested in the person you really are.
