Tammy hasn't found such success in on-line relationships. She's
met and dated about a dozen guys over the last two years on the
Internet. She's been very careful about safety before meeting any
of the men, but hasn't yet experienced a long-lasting relationship
come from any of these dates.
"Most [of the men] are immature or lie when they tell me about themselves.
It's hard to date someone you can't trust." For every John and Rachel,
there are a hundred Tammy's.
In today's society, the Internet is becoming a common medium in
which to meet new people. How can you make "cyberdating" a safer
and more rewarding experience?
Protect Your Identity
Most people would not tell their name, phone number, address, and
other personal information to a complete stranger. Yet many people
naively reveal these details to strangers online. In a large chatroom,
you may be giving your personal information to hundreds of onlookers.
Sharing this information in a private chat is no safer; you're simply
giving it to one person you don't know.
Protecting your identity is the best move you can make when chatting
online. If you decide to take chatting one step further and call
someone on the phone, use caller ID blocking. Reverse phone number
lookups are easy online and making certain the person you talk to
is trustworthy is the first step to remaining safe.
Don't Believe Everything You Read
The second rule of meeting people on the Internet is actually just
plain common sense: if something looks too good to be true, generally
it is! Do not believe everything people tell you about themselves.
