1. Represent yourself truthfully…don’t act like someone you are not, don’t put bogus info or pics in your profile

2. Don’t give out any personal information (name, phone number, address, place of work) until you’ve gotten to know someone a bit…in fact, it’s best not to divulge that info until after you’ve met and gotten an impression of them…

3. When you make arrangements to meet, do so in a public place…arrive and leave separately…don’t have them pick you up or vice versa, don’t let them follow you home…

4. If something seems off or too good to be true, let that be a red flag…there are plenty of honest and kewl people online, but there are also plenty who are not…use good judgement and don’t believe everything you see or hear

I’ve known a number of couples who met online…some who’ve even married so the ‘net is a great tool in meeting people and bringing friends and lovers together…just use it wisely and safely.

Good luck and have fun!
