If you are interested or about to join an online dating service you need to be fully aware and understand the risks and possible dangers involved in the process. Internet dating popularity has exploded in recent years and that has led to plenty of singles finding meaningful friendships, love, and even marriage. It has also exposed some singles to frustrating and dangerous experiences.

When you meet people online, you’re bound to come across a wide variety of different personalities, backgrounds and motives. While the majority of singles join dating sites with genuine intentions, it is important to realize that people with unsavory motives also use online dating sites as a way to stalk their prey. These individuals have ulterior motives, are cunning and sneaky with a great ability to keep it from you. They may be after your money, they could be married (saying they are single) or simply want to have a sexual fling while acting as if they are interested in a committed relationship. There are several things you can do initially to keep yourself from falling victim to these scammers, cheaters and cons.

The first, and possibly the most important tip to safe Internet dating, is not to divulge your personal information. Keep your home phone, cell, personal email and home address private until you have met your potential match several times in person and developed a reasonable amount of trust. Many sites are set-up to help secure your personal information by utilizing user names, rather than real names, and offering phone chat, within the site, so your phone numbers remain private. Making your personal information available to strangers (and in effect, everyone you meet online is a stranger) can lead to some bad experiences, or worse.

At some point, you’ll want to meet in person. Plan your first date to be short, during the day and somewhere in public. Never plan a first date at either of your homes or allow them to pick you up. Until you’ve had a few in-person dates, you should avoid these options entirely.

Safe Internet Dating As you meet people online, you may run into individuals who won’t leave you alone, even though you have made it clear you are not interested. Here lies another reason to only communicate through the dating site’s communication tools. If someone begins to harass you, most dating sites allow you to block any and all correspondence from the harasser. If you feel threatened in any way, contact the webmaster and inform them of your problem.

Online Dating is basically no different from the traditional forms of meeting singles. Like meeting people in bars or at events, you will need to keep your guard up, there will always be a few bad apples, but that doesn't mean you should avoid it. Online dating is the fastest and best way to expand your dating pool and improve your chances of finding a partner. If you feel more at ease by doing a little research about the person you are planning to meet for the first time, there are plenty of inexpensive background checking services available on the Internet. These services can’t tell you every detail about an individual but they can certainly bring any major red flags to light.
