Read my tips for safe dating and dating tips for women before you look for those online love matches.

The internet can be a great place to search for Mr. Right and make good trusting friendships. But it can also be a dangerous place to put your trust especially if you intend to meet people. You must use sound judgment and common sense as your safety tool, and to help you I have compiled some key tips for safe dating that I hope you will read and remember. Of all the dating tips for women the main one has to be .. safe dating ! You will probably spend hours looking through the various internet dating services for your online love matches but once you have read my tips you should be prepared and ready to proceed confidently and safely.

My first tip is simply to use your common sense and exercise caution when internet dating. Do not feel you should trust someone because they appear to be responding well to your advances. You can take all the time you need to determine if someone is trustworthy. If you think someone is lying they probably are, so move on to someone you can eventually trust. Do not fall in love at the click of a mouse and do not become prematurely intimate with someone, even if it only occurs online.

Tip two of my tips for safe dating for fuller figured single women is to use an anonymous nickname when conversing through the online dating services. This does not reveal any personal contact information about you. Never include your last name, real email address, home address, phone number, place of work or any other identifying information in your profile or emails you exchange. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for this information. Take all the time you need to become comfortable with someone before revealing any personal information. Ask questions and be sure you are  satisfied with the answers, be cautious and selective.

Tip three of dating tips for women is to start slowly. Watch out for someone who sounds too good to be true. Begin by first communicating solely by email and be on the lookout for odd behaviour or inconsistencies. Trust your instincts and if anything makes you uncomfortable stop communicating for your own safety and protection. Do not feel bad or guilty about this.

Tip four of my tips for safe dating to find your online love matches is the photo. Request a photo whenever you can, even better some latest dating websites now provide a cam link so you can see him in the flesh .. so to speak ! Either way these will give you a good idea of the person's appearance which may help you with your inner feeling about the person. If they keep giving an excuse it may be because the person has something to hide.

My tip five for your safe internet dating is to talk via a telephone when you feel the time is right and before you actually meet the person. This will tell you a lot about the person's communication and social skills. Do not give out your personal telephone number and try to phone by a mobile cell phone for added security. Only when you feel comfortable should you release your number to the person.

Tip six of my tips for safe dating for single women is only arrange to meet when YOU are ready. One of the benefits in searching for online love matches is that you will collect a lot of information with which to make more informed decisions and choices on the type of person you want to meet in order to take the relationship further. You are not obliged however to meet any of them unless YOU wish to. If you decide to meet someone then change your mind........ well that's a woman's prerogative anyway isn't it ? There is no point in meeting someone who goes against your better instincts or intuition, plays with your feelings or pressures you in any way.... he's not the right guy !

Tip seven is about where to meet. All my tips for safe dating are important but this one is particularly important because here you have the decision and control on where you will first meet. When you have finally made your choice on who to meet always tell someone, friend or family, where you are going to meet and when you expect to return home. Also leave with them the details of the person you are going to meet. Never have your date pick you up at home. Provide your own transport, meet in a public place at a time when many people will be present and when the date is over leave on your own. Ideal places to meet are coffee shops or restaurants. Avoid hikes, bike rides or drives to remote areas for the first few dates. When the date is coming to an end always be polite, thank them and say goodbye.

Tip eight of my safe dating tips for fuller figured single women is to be extra cautious if traveling out of your own area. If you are flying in from another region, or even another country, pre-book a car and a hotel room. Do not disclose where you are staying to your date or allow them to undertake the bookings for you. Make contact with your date from your hotel and arrange to meet at an appropriate location, bearing in mind my tip seven. You can always check the type of location with the hotel staff so you will know if it is appropriate or not. As in tip seven always tell a friend or family member where and who you are planning to meet and if possible carry a mobile cell phone at all times. 

Tip nine - Warning signs. This is a very important tip for your safe dating. You must be very aware of any displays of anger or attempts to control or pressurise you. If your date is acting in a passive-aggressive manner, making demeaning or disrespectful comments or showing physically inappropriate behaviour you MUST read these as warning signs. In addition any of the following conducts should also be read as warning signs unless he provides an acceptable explanation; (a) provides inconsistent information about his age, interests, appearance, marital status, profession or employment, etc. (b) Avoids speaking to you over the phone despite establishing ongoing online dating intimacy. (c) Fails to provide direct answers to your direct questions. (d) His real life physical appearance is significantly different to his online persona. (e) Avoids introducing you to his friends, family members or work colleagues.

Tip ten, and last of my tips for safe dating is the emergency exit, meaning always make sure you have one! Never do anything you feel unsure about and if you are in any way intimidated or afraid of your date use your best judgment to diffuse the situation and leave. Excuse yourself long enough to call a friend or family member for advice. If you feel you are in danger call the police, it's always better to be safe then sorry. Do not worry or feel embarrassed about your behaviour as your safety is much more important than one person's opinion of you.

Remember, the internet is no different to real life, you could still find the imposters, liars and cheats regardless of how you meet. Dating is never risk free but a little caution and remembering my tips for safe dating will reduce the risks. Good Luck !
