2. Online dating is a truly phenomenal change in the way that we
meet new people in modern society. Gone are the days of blind
dating somebody that you have never laid an eye on.
Who hasn't had a bad experience with a blind date that some
colleague or family member has sent you on? I get the shivers
just thinking about some of these blind dates that I have been
on. Online dating removes many of the negative unknowns
while allowing you to meet some great people that you would
never have met otherwise. It has become so popular over the
last decade that today alone there is numerous reality TV shows
dealing with the subject of online dating. After you have spent
some time in front of your PC communicating with a person, you
will want to meet him or her face to face. It is important to
remember that even though you have spent quite a bit of time
communicating and maybe even exchanging photos or videos
with each other, you still don't know the complete history of this
person. I will try to give you some tips on safe online dating:

3. 1. First rule in safe online dating is to meet the person
somewhere in a public place. Don't let him to pick you up
from home on the first date. If it's possible try to arrange
some kind of double date because you will be and feel
safer having somebody with you that you trust.
2. If you don't want to feel under any obligation pay half
of the bill.

4. 3. You found a person that you really like trough online dating and
you finally meet him in a bar. Remember that alcohol can affect
your judgment. So try not to have too many alcoholic drinks.
4. It's safer to use your own transportation. This way you won't
have to depend on the person that you are dating.

5. 5. Online dating is great and you can meet very interesting people.
Always keep in mind though that what you see on your computer
can be very different from the reality. For example if your online
date said that he is a very religious man this doesn't mean that you
can trust him. As with any relationship it takes time before we really
get to know our other half in the relationship.
6. One of the most important safety rules is to let someone else
know where you are. Believe me when I tell you that this is safer. If
something bad happens, there is at least someone that knows
where to look for you. It's best for you to tell a friend to phone you
and check on you at a pre- arranged time.

6. 7. If you really like the person that you met through online
dating it's still good to stay alert. You never know what can
happen. In conclusion: Online dating is one of the greatest
developments in our day and age. Just remember to be safe
and responsible. The next time your aunt tries to fix you up
with somebody in her church group, tell her that you already
have a boyfriend...in South Africa.
