Internet Dating Safety Tips

Online or Internet dating is fun and convenient but one should be cautious of someone they hardly know early on. Here's some quick tips to online dating safety.

• Don't give anyone online your real email address, last name, phone number, address or place of work to early on.
• Stop communicating with anyone who tries to pressure you into giving this information.
• Protect yourself against  unwanted advances and use a gender-neutral nickname in chat rooms, discussion groups and on message boards.
• Move slowly, get to know the other person and build a trust with them.
• Request a photo, if someone gives you an excuse they could be hiding something.
• Talking on the phone can reveal much about some ones communication and social skills (give cell or use pay phone until comfortable).
• Watch for red flags, sudden bursts of anger, frustration, disrespect, controlling behavior or failing to give you a direct answer to questions.
• Never feel pressured, always meet when ready and in a public place like restaurant, cafe, coffee shop, etc.
• Avoid secluded area like camping, hiking, biking and any remote area for first few dates or until trust is built.
• If you have any gut feelings or suspicions about your dates possible criminal history, I recommend using a background check service called Complete Detective It's very thorough and COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS!
