6 Tips For Safe Online Dating
There is no doubt that online dating can put you in touch with some great people and you may just end up finding your Prince Charming or Dream Girl as the case may be. However, online dating is not without its risks. This is why I have put together these online dating safety tips which will help you to have a fun experience, while keeping yourself out of harms way.
1. Your safety lesson in online dating starts from your profile itself. Make sure not to reveal exact personal details (real name, telephone numbers, street addresses etc) in your profile for everyone to see. For the first few weeks you should communicate with other daters only through the message system that is available on the sites. This personal messaging system keeps your name and contact details anonymous so that you can get to know the other person without revealing your true identity. Once you feel you know someone well enough, you can then disclose your personal details and also set up a date. And in case you do end up communicating with someone who turns out to be a creep (they are unfortunately unavoidable), your real identity will be protected.
2. Once you do set up a date with an online friend, always ensure that you do not ask them to come over to your home on the first date itself. No, you should not even have them pick you up at home. Instead, arrange to meet up at the designated spot.
3. If you have a friend who is also into online dating, you could get together with your friend and have a double date. This way, you won't be alone when you meet your online friend, and you will also have someone to get away with in case your date turns out to be a bore!
4. Never ever agree to have your first date in a private or secluded spot. You may think that this is very basic advice, but you'll be amazed (perhaps shocked may be a better word!) to know that countless people still make this mistake and end up in prospectively dangerous situations. You should pick an open and public place for your date; say a restaurant, the park, etc. If you do decide to go to another place with your date, do not get into the car with them. Take your own vehicle or call and ask a friend to take you there. Yes, all this may seem like too much trouble, but better to be safe than sorry!
5. Avoid drinking alcohol on your first date. If you must, make sure you have just a couple of drinks and no more. Ask the waiter or the bar tender to serve you. If you have left the drink for any reason, perhaps to visit the rest room, do not have the same drink when you do return.
6. Before you leave for your date, make sure a friend or relative knows where you are going and when to expect you back. If something untoward does happen, you at least know that someone will be out looking for you.
Thus, by keeping these online dating safety tips in mind, you can rest easy that you are doing all you can to protect yourself. And with that worry off your mind, you are free to go out and have a whale of a time with your new online date!
BONUS : 6 Tips To Jewish Dating Online
Copyright 2006 Jeffrey Betman
Not too sure how to go about dating online? Does it feel like you shouldnÂ’t have to do this?
Well, too bad. Online dating is one of the most effective ways to date these days. ItÂ’s cost efficient, you can reach many more people, you can change your ad as many times as you want, and you can browse others who are looking.
So, how about a few tips to get you started online, particularly for the Jewish dating sites.
Free sites are OK to browse, but not for serious shoppers.
You get what you pay for. Free is free. Any bozo can log on and sign up for a free account. Want to find quality dates? Pay for it. Look at it this way: the cost of a monthly fee is about the cost of a dinner out. To me, this is a no-brainer.
Upload a photo of you. Really.
First of all, you must have a photo. Would you buy a car online without a photo? IÂ’m sure you wouldnÂ’t buy something off ebay without a photo. Why should dating be any different? In fact, its even more important to include your photo-this is your life we are talking about. Most people search online by photos. And donÂ’t even think of putting a picture of Tom Cruise up there saying it is you. Forget it.
Go online-often.
One of the worst things you can do is sign up for a membership, post your profile, then forget it. Suppose you get the girl of your dreams responding to you, but you arenÂ’t online to say hi. If she left you a text or voicemail, youÂ’d answer right? Go online, be active, chat with folks. Think of it as mingling. You canÂ’t do too much of this.
Be yourself.
IÂ’ve seen too many people go online and become something they are not. Fine, if you want to spend your whole life online. But if you actually plan on meeting somebody in person, you better be yourself. We donÂ’t want surprises on either end. If you are expecting Julia Roberts and she doesnÂ’t show up, youÂ’d be pissed.
Enjoy the process.
Sure, this is serious business. But, it should be fun. If youÂ’re stressed out, how can you be yourself? Try and look at the bigger picture here. If youÂ’re posting and chatting online, its better than sucking down another beer in front of the tube.
Decide how important religion is to you.
This is a personal decision. Online, you will discover the entire range of how “Jewish” somebody really is. Decide what your real priorities are. How important is it that the person is as religious as you? Or not? Make a decision before going online, so you can search for those who are as religious as you prefer.
To your success,
