Online Dating Safety for Women

Online dating can be a fun and certainly a rewarding experience for women of all ages. Maintaining your safety while doing it is simply a combination of using common sense and exercising good judgment. Online safety rules are the same as real world safety rules. You wouldn`t give your name, address and phone number to a strange man that you met in a bar or on the street so you should never do that online either. Play it safe. Get to know this man who could turn out to be Prince Charming before you give out any information that could make it possible for him or others to trace you. Don`t tell a stranger exactly where you work. Say that you are a legal secretary (if that`s what you are) for a mid-sized law firm....not that you work for Brown, Smith and Jones Attorneys-at-law. It is safe to tell him what city you live in but you should wait to be any more specific than that until you have been chatting and exchanging emails for awhile. Use only the tools provided by the dating service you...

Online Dating Safety For Men

Almost everything you read about online dating safety is directed at women but men need to be concerned as well. Perverts, sexual predators and weirdoes come in both sexes, all sizes, and all agesas do, liars and cheaters. So men need to stay on guard, too. It is common knowledge not to readily give out personal information to strangers. The reason for not doing so is as large as the number of strangers who want that information. If you come across a person who is giving out personal information and asking others to do the same, dont do it. You dont know what they want to use it for.and you had better believe they want to use it for something. That something will not be for your benefit. Men, also, need to guard their real names, addresses, phone numbers, and place of employment. Do not give that information to anyone online until you are confident that they are who they say they are. Men, be wary of women who seem too financially needy. If they ask for money, in any of a doz...

Online Dating is Not a Contest

Online dating is not a competition between competing males for the attention of a female. Grow up. Change your mind set from winning to searching. This isnt high school. You are all grown up and have been for quite some time, now. Your attitude is the most important asset you have. You should like yourself and not concentrate of all of the things that arent YOUR idea of the perfect guythe one the all women want. What is that women want, you ask? Thats the age old question. Being of the female persuasion myself, I can tell you a few things women want and dont want. Women want a man to be confidentNOT an arrogant jerk. Theres a big difference. You need to like yourself and not be self depreciating but you dont need to come across like you believe that you are a gift to them from God and have just fallen from the sky. They dont want you to think that THEY just fell from heaven and are some kind of perfect being, either. They cant live up to that expectation. Women want a com...
