ONLINE DATING SAFETY GUIDELINES

Meeting on the internet through dating sites is just similar to meeting offline if the same standard of dating precautions is being followed. Online dating is fine and daters can feel at ease while getting to know each other when they always trust their instincts and use common sense just like you would when you meet other people outside the internet.

Choose online dating sites or personals that goes extra lengths to ensure that its sites stay clean and safe. Quality dating sites do their best to monitor and block emails of anyone who uses profanity, hustles or is not serious about finding a relationship.

This is beneficial to all the members in the dating community so make the right choices when you start selecting the dating site that you want to join. They will also keep all contacts between members on site so your email address remains confidential.

Before you get started posting your profile, always remember that you are in control of your online experience at all times. You can remain completely anonymous until you feel ready and you are also in control when it comes to taking an online relationship offline. Don't forget that you have an advantage through online dating because you can get to know each other before you meet.

You also don't need to take anything further than the computer or phone wires until you feel completely at ease so you can stay at your own pace. Whenever you do decide to meet face to face, make sure to pick a public place and provide your own transportation just for safety reasons. It is also good if you could inform a close friend where you're going and check in when you return home.

When you are making your profile, never include your personal contact information, especially telephone numbers, email, home address or your last name, and only give them out when your instincts tell you this is someone you can trust. Relationships takes a lot of time to grow so stay calm and take more time to know each other.

You can also set up an email account just for online personals. When you start to have a relationship with someone through online dating, ask this person a lot of questions and watch for inconsistencies too. Stay away from members in dating sites who won't take no for an answer or pressure you for any kind of personal information. Serious online daters will respect your space and allow you to take your time.

Sometimes, there are people who join in dating sites so that they invite someone to go to their personal website or just ask for money or donation, if you'll encounter these type of people then use common sense not to oblige and then report the situation to the dating site that you are in.

If anyone gives a phone number with a strange area code, check it out to make sure it's not a charge number before you make the call. Good judgment is what you need because ultimately you are responsible for your personal online dating experience. Choose among quality dating sites, trust your instincts and then enjoy meeting with the right kind of people.

How to Avoid “Players” While Dating Online 

1. Stop dating. If you have a habit of attracting people who are players, it is in your best interest to stop dating. At the very least, take a break from dating and perhaps a class on self-esteem. Players tend to prey on women who do not exude a strong sense of self-esteem. Take yourself off the dating market until you are able to present yourself in a strong manner.

2. Online dating profiles use some keywords to get a dater's point across without blatantly saying what they really mean. Words like, "casual" may mean more than just "casual" and may really be cluing the reader into the fact that the profiled person may just be interested in hooking up. If they talk about partying a lot and going out constantly, you may be looking at a player.

3. Slow them down. When you do decide to date again, you need to slow down anyone who is looking to move quickly. Players are interested in getting what they want as quickly as possible. Lay some ground rules for yourself letting time limitations for different stages of a relationship. When you do this, you will be able to recognize a player, as they will become anxious and impatient.

4. If the online profile is too short and doesn't really discuss the person's interests and experiences, you may be dealing with a player. Players don't usually put a lot of effort into their profiles and rely solely on their photograph and their ability to "hunt their prey" by contacting others themselves. Move onto someone else.

5. Start looking at people who are less aggressive about seeking you out. Players will approach you faster than more sincere people who will be more likely to observe you for a while to make sure you are someone they want to invest their time in. Seek out these people first. Of course, there are players who realize this and try to be coy, so take your time and analyze these people as well.

6. Are the photos provocative? Whether you are looking for a man or a woman, if provocative photos are posted, you may be dealing with a player. Players usually focus on sexuality in their ads and will try to seduce viewers with flashy and sometime generally inappropriate photos. If you are looking for a real date, move on.

7. Avoid people who are obsessed with themselves. If you are interested in someone who is more focused on how they look (i.e. stuck on themselves) they it is possible that you are dealing with a player. A player is good looking and knows it. They tend to think they are entitled to treat others poorly because of this “fact.”

8. Got someone "winking" or instant message you? If they don't ask about your interests and don't really want to know more about you, you may be dealing with a player. Players will try to get you to meet up immediately instead of conversing via the Internet or phone first. Avoid these daters.

9. Look for inconsistencies. Players tend to stretch the truth. If you truly listen to what they say, over time you will notice inconsistencies. This is another reason you want to wait as long as possible before getting serious as it takes time to pick up player like personalities.
