Online Dating Tips for Special Groups 1
Caution! Do be aware that online dating is not a totally safe environment. Be very careful in investing your money, time and heart in it.
• Use only a free email account. By using your email accounts with sites such as Yahoo, Gmail, Bigfoot and Hotmail, you make easy correspondence while keeping your local email secure. Do consider hard to guess passwords which are different from your log in name.
• Avoid creating a profile name that gives a clue as to where you’re from and who you are. Choose a simple nickname but far from your true identity, to avoid getting your personal information accessed by unwanted individuals.
Also, avoid revealing too much personal data when filling up your profile, as they usually appear automatically.
When in an online conversation:
• Ensure secrecy. Keep in mind to never expose and provide anyone with your personal information such as full name, address, phone number and email address. Anybody who asks you these early in the conversation, take it as a warning. You are in control here, and you can stop communicating when you feel uncomfortable.
A lot of sites offer a messaging system which can be used for communicating with singles. Using this system is safer than using your email.
