Online Dating Tips:

Begin slowly

- Be on guard when someone seems too good to be true.

- Start communicating by text messaging or email first.

Protect Your Anonymity

- Don't give out your last name, your real email address, home address, workplace, or any

identifying info from your profile. Make sure your email signature file doesn't contain any

identifying info or is turned off.

- Stop talking to anyone who keeps insisting you give him this info.

- Take as much time as is required to feel comfortable with someone before you give out any

personal info.

- Ask as many questions as you like and be sure you are satisfied with the replies.

- Go with your gut instinct; move slowly and wisely; you can be as selective as you like.

- Cautious decisions that are well thought out will usually produce more favorable results in online

dating.

- Be careful not to trust someone that is not worthy of your trust. A suitor must earn you trust by

being honorable and up-front on a consistent basis.

- Be responsible with your online (dating) behavior and romances. Don't rush into premature

intimacy with someone online – take your time.

Although these precautions may sound a little scary, they are not meant to discourage you at all

from online dating. However, these measures should be taken to protect your privacy, so that your

personal information doesn’t get into the wrong hands.

Ask For A Photograph

- A photo will give you a good idea on the appearance of the person and adds another dimension to

your perception of them. Most online dating sites allow you to upload pictures. Seeing several

pictures of the subject in different settings and angles is even better. If they aren't willing to provide

a picture it means they have something to hide.

Talk On the Telephone

A telephone conversation can show you a person's communication skills and give you a better feel

of their character. Be sure, however not to give your phone number to a stranger. Block your caller

ID, or use a pay phone initially. Only reveal your telephone number when you feel completely at

ease with the person.

Sex Tips

Don’t rush it, eventually it will come naturally. Give it the needed time and it will happen.

By following these precautions you will be better prepared to actually go out on a physical date

when you feel you are ready.
