Safely Dating Online

There are a number of security and safety issues to consider when you are communicating online with someone through an online dating site.

I have had personal experience with online dating and with a few different online dating membership sites.

Some of my experiences have included (not all personal):

•one single the other married and the information not shared
•stated a non-drinker but turned out to be a drunk
•stated no children but had three at home
•neglected to say they had just been released from prison

Certainly not all my communications were bad, in fact I met my husband through online dating, but it is important to be careful and safe, so please read on. Don't Give Out Personal Information Too Fast Even if you feel the connection you have made through online dating is so terrific you can hardly wait to hear his/her voice, take a deep breath and wait. One way to connect with each other is through instant messenger programs. If you have a web cam use that - of course a lot of online dating memberships sites use this feature but you may want to connect outside of the site. So, yes, talk and see each other. Before you give out your phone number think twice. If you feel you don't need to check who it is you are going to connect with then I would also suggest giving out your cell number, if you have one, rather than your home number in the beginning. Safety is important, online dating or offline dating.

Security Checks

IF you have any concerns at all about the person you are communicating with talk to someone about it. Most of us have good instincts and will know when something is 'just not right'. Sometimes you may get a feeling but try to ignore it. We have found the security sites listings below will help you find out if your potential partner is who you think they are.
