not you meet online. Follow these date-smart
tips.

Don't give away too much
information. Build trust slowly. Consider using
a second email account just for internet dating.
If you are not comfortable,
then don't do it. If you have a funny feeling
about someone, trust your own judgement.
Until you know each other
well, meet in a public place or in groups.
Getting to know someone
is a slow, enjoyable process. But be careful if
you notice any of the following:
-
Wants to meet infrequently or irregularly. Sometimes
"disappears"
-
Avoids answering questions and is vague about
his or her life
-
Provides inconsistent information -- about his
or her age, interests or personal life.
-
Does not introduce you to his or her friends,
colleagues or family
-
Acts significantly different in person than
online.
| Be
responsible and trustworthy. |
Be honest and responsible
when you meet on-line. Set high standards of "dating
integrity" for yourself and the people around
you.
