Online dating safety. Global Defense Initiative(tm) for you!

Just think a little, do you feel safe when dating online? Most people's experience is that online dating is no more dangerous than other types of dating. Any time you meet someone new (a stranger, for all intents and purposes) you've GOT to be careful, whether you meet him in the street or in the webcam site. This is the same whether you're meeting a friend of a friend, someone you chat with online, or contact through a profile. Sure, while you shouldn't let fear paralyze you when meeting new people, you do have to be careful. This is especially true with meeting people online. No matter how many times we talk about safety, there is always a story lurking in the paper about someone who got duped by a guy or girl they met online. And it doesn't have to be that way. To that end, the experts of online dating made (or even discovered) "ten safety tips to make your online dating experience secure, user-friendly, and safe." These are great, common sense tips to help remind you to keep your wits about you during communication in chat or videochat sessions. Most of them are the same as rules for ordinary safe dating, and the next ones are concerned just about online dating - the first one (and the most important, probably) listed is key: use a reputable site. And here is another one: use caution. Also it is possible to add a new one useful tip: just because you email someone, or see him or her in your webcam every day, or chat every minute doesn't mean you know him or her. It takes time to see them in different situations before you begin to get to know them. Until then, go slowly and cautiously. Well, as you can see, there is nothing difficult about those tips, just remember them and use all the time, even if you are going to date with a girl next door to you...
