10 Safety Tips to Protect Yourself While Online Dating

(continued)

Internet Dating Safety Tip #7.  Public Figures and Semi-Celebrities Must Still Post Photos

If he is saying his job/career is terribly public so he doesn't want to post his photo at his profile, he can email you the address of a website with his photo or cite his name to you.  Men are to protect ladies.  If he is more protective of himself than you, forget him.  Move on.  He's a boy not a man. 

Look, this is the 21st century, and both men and women do need to protect themselves. 

Ladies, if you're a professional executive with your own law or architectural business and are concerned about your professional image, you must find a way to share your photo at the dating sites if you want to use internet dating as a way to meet men.  Celebrities do it.  You can, too.

However, men, and other well-known public figures have dated me, protect ladies.  They gave me their names, website photos from their news coverage, Yahoo! ID where they posted their photo, something. 

If he wants you to email him or set up a separate email address just so he can email you his photo, oye, he's expecting you to go to a lot of effort, and he hasn't even bought you a drink yet.  If he is a man, he is making an effort to get you.  If not, then not.  I mention this as well because the reality is men, are hormonely driven to pursue, even in the 21st century.  It's biological and hormonal.  So, if he is somehow leaning back, arms across his chest waiting for the woman to pursue him, it typically means he's not that interested in you, and guys, self-respecting women still want you to make some initial efforts.  Sure, we'll pick up the phone and call you later. 21st century romance is a dialogue.  But to start, we're expecting you to approach.

I'm the pretty one, remember?  I go to plenty of effort to look this gorgeous and sexy, and you are enjoying it, I know.  Thank you for noticing.  Bat, bat, flutter, flutter.  However, I'm not making all the effort.  Men seek to display their masculine prowess in pursuing us, bless their hearts.  Don't you love it?

Internet Dating Safety Tip #8.  No Personal Contact Information Exchange Until After You Two Have Met In Person

If the man starts pestering you for personal contact information without revealing his first, just stop emailing with him.  Remember, protect YOU.

Both of you, you might feel secure sharing contact information after a First Date.  However, you two might feel more secure building up a greater level of mutual acquaintanceship in public locations before revealing more personal contact information.  There is no one-size fits all.  These are tips and guidelines.  It's up to you to protect your contact information. Do!

Internet Dating Safety Tip #9.  If Your Prospective Date Gets Belligerent Before You Two Meet - Then Drop Them!

If a man gets belligerent with your online, block him and delete his messages. 

Guys, did she suddenly start spouting that all men are jerks and only "want one thing" or "skinny super models"?  Anything like that?  She won't improve in-person.  Trust me.

Remember, sometimes people are just being jerks.  Maybe it was a really bad day or week at work.  We're all human.  Sometimes we are shrews.  Whatever.  Focus on what you want and move one.  Don't obsess about it and panic.  Do not email your yahoo group of girlfriends to analyze, conjecture, and hypothesize for maybe why he did it.  Just delete, block and move on. 

If they bully or harrass you in any way, do immediately report them to the dating site.  Ideally cite the email where the harrassment occurred.  This is another reason to keep your email communication pre-date all online at the dating site so that it is in a controlled environment and where the dating site readily has access to the records.

Internet Dating Safety Tip #10.  Do Keep Your Personal Email Address Private

Don't give out your personal email address until you two have corresponded at the Online Dating site for at least 3 emails.  You both have more safety protection while you two are still corresponding at the dating site than you do once you have moved over to your email account. 

For safety purposes, when advising singles in coaching sessions and workshops, I do recommend creating a second personal email address for pursuing online dating and protecting your full personal name at that email address as well.

If he gets weird, too overtly sexual too fast, etc. while at the Online Dating website, you can block him easily and report him.  Once over at your own email, he already has your personal email account. 

Be romantic, safe, smart and sensible while pursuing love online, don't you think?  Cause you're TOTALLY worth protecting!
