Great post! You give you really good practical advice about protecting yourself. Before someone meets you in person they will often use all means available to find out what they can about you. It’s good to be cautious.

Thanks for your comment, Erin…I agree that you have to meet as many people as possible until you know you’re dating the right one. But sooner or later, the dating has to stop

Thanks for your suggestion — you’re right; it’s important to be cautious when trying online dating sites. But it’s also important to take risks in life and love, and be open to meeting people in new and different ways.

As with everything, it’s a balance of caution and adventure…

This is why being a bit cautious really pays off a lot, whether its with online dating or dating in real life. Tons of people out there are not exactly trustworthy, so everybody should really be careful when dealing with others.

The are so many great tips for safe online dating:

- keep your friends or family members involved, so you don’t get too carried away!

- remember that you can’t be absolutely certain about another person until you’ve been to his or her home, met a few friends, and haven’t encountered any red flags

- don’t let your heart get ahead of your head!

I met one of my closest friends through online dating, about 12 years ago. I’m married to someone else — and my friend and my husband just had lunch yesterday. The ripples of online dating can spread throughout the ages

If you have to pay money to belong to an online dating site, you run the risk of being scammed. And, dating in general opens you up to the possibility of meeting the wrong person and/or getting your heart broken!

I think meeting online is great, but it has to be followed up with dating in person. It’s more difficult to be scammed when you’re face to face (though I know people get conned by their face-to-face dates, too!).

If you have any tips for not getting scammed by online dating website, I welcome them here….
