Online Dating
Safety
For the most part, online dating offers wonderful opportunities to meet someone special and since you're communicating from the comfort of your own home, there is a level of security.
Dating Online Offers You More Control
Managed well, online dating is private and perfectly safe, and
you can proceed at your own speed. However, because of
this laidback approach, people will all too often starting
telling the stranger at the other end of the computer all types
of things that could cause an invasion of privacy. The
internet gives you complete control of your dating pursuits, so
use it wisely.
Online dating can be safer than natural dating if you apply the same rules and instinct. Do not let your guard down until you feel comfortable and confident about the person you're chatting to. In fact, because you cannot monitor a person's reactions, you should take extra care regarding safety when considering online dating.
Protecting Your Privacy
The
information you supply when you register on Single With Kids is
completely confidential and your personal details, email and
address are kept secret from all members. Any member who
matches you in their searches can only see what you have told
them in terms of your personal profile. We recommend you
guard your privacy until you know more about the person with
whom you're chatting and are sure that you'd like to take your
friendship further. When in online conversation, operate
the same common sense rules that you would normally use when
getting to know someone - make sure that you don't give out
private information that could be traced to find out where you
live or work.
1. Personally Identifiable Information
DO NOT include your actual email address or telephone number, or
any type of personally identifiable information in your profile,
or your emails. This information would also include the
town where you live, phone number, name of the company where you
work, organisations that you are associated with, an so on.
2. Use the Single With Kids Message Services for Communication
Be sure to use the communication tools available on the dating
site (i,e, use the Single With Kids instant messaging service)
so that you don't have to use your own personal email to get in
touch with someone. If you choose to communicate with
someone using email outside of our dating service, we recommend
you create or use an account that doesn't include your name.
Yahoo and Hotmail allow you to do this for free.
3. Take Your Time
Start out slow and remember the old cliché, "if it seems too
good to be true - it probably is." Trust your own
judgement in this. The key is to watch for inconsistencies
or behavioral changes in someone. This could be a clue
that something is not what is seems. Ask many questions
and if someone is being honest, they will be happy to tell you
about themselves and their lives. Always trust your
instincts and if someone makes you feel uncomfortable, then move
on.
4. Enjoy Yourself. You're in Control!
The main thing is to enjoy making friends (or your dating) at
Single With Kids. Never let anyone pressure you. If
you don't want to explain something or provide certain details,
then that is up to you. A real friend will behave in a
patient and relaxed way. After receiving an email, sit
back an think about what you're being told, take your time and
try and sense the person behind the email. Read their
profile thoroughly.
5. Falling in Love
Different people falls in love at different speeds, but try not
to become enamoured too quickly, which can be quite easy to do
with online dating.
6. Check a Person's Appearance
If the person you're communicating with doesn't have a photo
posted, ask not for one, but two or three current photos.
First, this will validate that the person is the one in the
photos and second, it will show you if he or she is trying to
hide something. It's not that love should be based on
looks alone, but it's important to see if there's a physical
attraction. If you get one excuse after another, this
should raise a major red flag.
7. Be Truthful About Whether You are Willing to Travel
Once you've met one or two people that interest you and have
spent quite a bit of time chatting online, set up a phone call,
always using your mobile phone. The call itself is
important, as it shows you the level of communication and social
skills, as well as manners and a indication of intelligence.
Additionally, by using your mobile for the conversation, you're
not giving out private information that could be traced to find
where you live.
