Dating risks that you can easily avoid.

The most important thing to remember about online dating is your safety. It is true that online dating has become immensely popular and people all over the world are being benefited by it. But you have to take precaution while dating online. How do you know if the person who sound so nice is not a potential rapist or a stalker?
Here are some tips that will keep you safe:

In your profile, it is good not to include detailed personal information, such as your personal home address, job address, telephone number, or email address. Dating sites, especially the reputable ones, make sure that all their members are safe. Some do it by checking the criminal records of their members, some by automatically deleting any detailed information in your personal profile.

It would be good if you know more about the person you just met online before giving him or her any personal information. Take some time in getting to know him or her first before setting up a date.

Don't put false information in your profile or a fake photograph. If you want people to be honest with you too, be genuine in your information. Honesty is the best policy. An old maxim, yes; but it works in online dating.

It might be good to have an email account set up in fee email sites like Yahoo or Hotmail. Give this email address to online users who want to have your email, instead of your main email address. If you don't want a person to contact you again, then at least your main email address is safe and free from his or her emails.

Be careful of people who:

Want to meet up with you instantly and pressure you to do so.

Bug you to give your personal contact details when they themselves don't want to give you their personal contact information.

Provide inconsistent information about their martial status, age and employment.

Avoid answering questions that are too personal.

If somebody is bothering you already, stop sending him or her messages immediately.

Online dating is to find someone genuine and to feel good. It should not be a traumatic experience that you may have to regret in future.
