Safety First With Online Dating

Safety First With Online Dating
Pre internet, there were a whole range of potential dangers to dating. When dating, you are getting to know someone. This in itself entails you do not know them, yet you are spending time with them. This creates a risk which, when gone wrong turns into a dating disaster. Most of the time a dating disaster is benign and we lose is a few hours, but hopefully gain a lesson in life and love. Sometimes though, a dating disaster is not so benign and we are actually in some sort of danger, either physically or financially. It is from these experiences that dating disaster legends are born. Unfortunately, in their infamy, these legend have enough power to turn people away from looking for love and happiness.

When internet came to dating, nothing really changed. For someone who is interested in finding love, at some stage you have to meet people in real life and spend time getting to know them. The only thing the internet changed was the method of introduction. Unfortunately though, many people don’t have the sense to understand this. As such, when using the internet and dating sites to meet people, the following two mistakes are common:

You believe using the internet to meet and communicate with people is actually getting to know them. Therefore, when the real life meeting occurs, you have a false belief the potential partner is already “known” and therefore dispense with your typical early dating precautions.
When things go wrong, you blame the internet as the medium, rather than the fact that the person you were dating was just wrong for you. Thats where such sayings as “He must have been a freak, that’s why he is on the internet” come from.
