Online Dating : Safety Guide For Women

Online dating safety

Online dating can be a fun and certainly a rewarding experience for women of all ages. Whether young or old you can meet a nice guy. 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 - remember this.

Use common sense - 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 belong to. Most offer chat and private email on their site. Do not give out your ISP email address. If you must give out an email address make it a free one such as Google GMail or Yahoo. Your ISP address is traceable for anyone who wants to go to the trouble, so why give them the opportunity.

The Womens Guide To Picking an Online Dating Site

The Women's Guide To Picking an Online Dating Site

With the explosion of online dating sites has come a virtual smorgasbord of choices. There are free sites, I don't recommend those but if money is a real concern, they are better than nothing. There are the large paid sites with many and varied features like chat, IM and even matching using profiles. There are the less expensive paid sites with few features. There are special interest sites for almost any thing you can think of...outdoor enthusiasts, couch potatoes, religious, non-religious, gays, lesbians,like I said,almost anything you can think of. So what's a girl to do? A girl should choose the site or sites that best fit her needs.

When the time comes for you to have your first face-to-face, make that first meeting in a public place and during day light hours. Take a friend with you or arrange for one to call you on your cell soon after the arranged meeting.

This Week's Advice Central Topic: No Greater Love Lost
There is no greater love lost than the love not experienced. For if you have not loved you can not have experienced what we all yearn for, the intimacy of sharing with another person your innermost self; by being at your most vulnerable, more exposed and open to hurt than is otherwise possible you involve yourself completely with another person that is equally open to love and hurt. This "love vulnerability" is what makes us human and is what brings about our best selves as we involve ourselves with another person and intertwine our lives with theirs. I wish for you this, the highest level of emotions we can experience, and that true love is yours forever. Have a great week!
