Guard Your Identity
First and foremost protect your identity. Do not give out your personal information such as phone numbers, home address, or anything else that may identify you. Make sure you feel safe and trust the person completely before giving out any personal information.

Take Your Time And Ask A lot Of Questions
When meeting at an online dating site there are a lot of advantages. One being you can go at your own pace and get to know someone before going on that first exciting date.

Make sure to ask the person you are getting to know lots of questions, and pay attention to what they are writing. If they seem pushy or too eager to meet you this may be cause for concern. Another cause for concern is if they seem to be irritable or seem to anger easily. You are never under any obligation to speak with anyone and if you feel uneasy speaking with them it is your option to end the conversation.

Ask about previous relationships. Why did they end? Listen to what they have to say and remember there are always two sides to every story.

Ask For More Than One Photo
Always ask for more than one photo. This will help ensure they are who they say they are in the picture, and will help give you a better idea of what they really look like. Often members post photos that are the most flattering, and may look slightly different when they meet you. Try to get photos of a member in all different kinds of situations.

Google Their Screen Name
Often when someone is a member of one dating site, they are a member of others with the same screen name. A good way to find out more information about your possible suitor is to google them and read as much information as you can about them through their online profiles.

Go At Your Own Pace
You have complete control of your online dating experience. You are not required to advance a relationship any further or faster than you feel comfortable with. It is your choice when you wish to take the relationship offline. Make sure you feel completely comfortable with the person before taking it offline.

Get A Phone #
When you do decide to take a relationship offline try to get their phone number first. When calling block your number to help ensure your identity is guarded until you feel safe giving this person your personal information.

Meet In A Public Place First
When meeting for the first time, never meet at home. Schedule a time and place when and where other people will be around, make sure to ensure your personal safety at all times.

Follow Your Gut Instinct
Always listen to your gut instinct. If you feel a member is misleading you, or making you have second thoughts about speaking with them, you have complete control of whether or not you wish to continue corresponding.

Use Common Sense
Often schemers use dating services in an attempt to solicit for various things. Use common sense and immediately report any suspicious activity such as:
soliciting for money
requesting nude photos
insisting on sexual acts or sex for money

No member should feel uncomfortable about speaking with another member. If at anytime you are unsure of a member or feel threatened, ban them immediately from corresponding with you and report the activity to the administrator.
