A REAL Internet Horror Story 3/27/2005
Last year I finally tired of being alone and decided to take
out an ad in an internet dating service.
After a week of no responses I was starting to get depressed,
when suddenly my IM popped on with a message, "Hi...it's
me!"
Assuming, of course, that it was someone that I knew, I answered
back, and to my complete surprise, it turned out to be a lady
that had seen my profile and took a ...

Long Term Members: Common Sense First, Heart Second 3/27/2005
When responding to replies or in selecting personals that
appeal to you, there are a few common sense things to keep
in mind.
How long has the person been a member?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that
someone who's been a "gold" member for
3 years, for example, has just given you a wealth of information.
Long term members are the most probable candidates to be

Is my check list enough? 3/14/2005

how far we can go.... 2/11/2005
Protect your privacy
Do not reveal information which could expose your identity
until you are confident that it is safe. Be cautious revealing
your name, address, phone number, email address, place
of work, website address, etc. Do not allow anyone to pressure
you into revealing details before you are ready. If they
are overly aggressive in asking for indentifying information,
cut off ...

A simple way to see if that's REALLY the person you are going to meet... 1/9/2005
...and not someone pretending to be shy & 23, when they're
actually predatory & 50.
<br>
Get them to post up a picture of themselves holding today's
newspaper.
Yes, they could fake it, have a stand-in etc - but that would
need more organization than most would have the time/facility/patience
for.

It still, of course, doesn't prove they're not

Foreign men complain that they are taken in by Russian and
Ukranian women. But didn't they think that the person
who doens't want to be cheated will never be! Who are
they looking for?
A woman who will depend on them completely and will be their

greatly any chance that hate crimes might occur as doing
anything considered fun... As newly involved with someone

How Do You Know? 11/15/2004
The internet is a wonderful thing, opening up our lives
to new information, new experiences, new people. The problem
is and always will be the liars, cheat and scammers (of both
genders) that are out there. Protect your heart and your
bank account. Make friends, enjoy your conversations,
but don't involve your heart (or your money) until
you actually meet someone in person. Too many times ...

this is the one. You make plans to meet and then something
happens on his end ( is in a coma after an accident,

brain tumor, emergency business trip, etc.) and you have

Do not give out your information right away! 6/4/2004
There are two types of people on FriendFinder and all dating
sites, honest and dishonest. Do not share your personal
information with people you talk to right away. Only give
out your cell phone if you are comfortable sharing any information.
People have to earn my trust before I share information
since we are living in a society of "Identity Theft”.

How would you verify a person is who they say they are. 6/1/2004
Online dating is different than meeting people day to day.
We don't have the opportunity to see a person in daily
life, whether at work, through friends or in the community.
What steps would you take? Is knowing their phone and address
before hand sufficient, or would you use a service such
as Date Check?

Remember to know some sort of self defence skills when you
are about to date. Your safety is so important. Women should
take extra care. Wrist grabs are most commonly used to pull
you along. They restrict your movement, but are not in themselves
dangerous. Again the attacker is limited because his hands
are occupied. He may have grabbled one wrist or both. If
you have one hand free, ...
