Like we said in the introduction to safe personal online dating is quite possibly the safest way to meet single men or women. As for this site, it is very safe to do so, so don't worry and continue reading this safety tips and you will be fine.

Yet because of the stigma of "mystery" and "danger" that online chat rooms sometimes suffer from, singles, especially single women, can still feel apprehensive about joining an online dating site.


Following are some basic, common sense safety tips, to keep in mind when dating online. Follow these tips, and you will be perfectly fine.

You'll be fine anyway, but by following some safety precautions, you'll make absolutely sure that you are not doing anything that could be dangerous.


Do not, under any circumstance reveal any personally identifiable information in your online dating profile, in your personal ads, or in your private e-mails to singles

Such information includes your real name, specifics about where you live ("I live in Chicago" is ok, though,) or any other info that could be used maliciously. Remember, do not put or tell them your personal details such as bank details etc.


Use only the communications tools provided by your dating service. They now offer private e-mail, chat, and even instant messaging. You should not invite singles to e-mail you at your regular address, at least until you get to know them better. Make sure that you know them before you do it, judge them!


When you e-mail singles in private, you may want to consider using an anonymous email account at a free site such as Hotmail when you begin getting to know new people. Take your time to establish communication and move at your own pace. You must get to know them before you could trust them and give your real email add. Take your time!


Be careful with your signatures. Many of us use multiple signature lines for our personal and business e-mail correspondence that include our phone numbers and addresses. Obviously you'll want to leave this information out when first contacting any singles you meet through the personals. Remember that!!  is a must for safety reasons!!


Remember: you are in control. No one should ever pressure you into revealing anything about yourself that you want to keep private. Anyone who does, is not respecting your boundaries, and is probably not worth contacting further. You're in control of your personal details, do reveal it unless you trust them!
