Having a hard time finding love in the bars, the clubs and everywhere in between? Well, you have one more option that is available and becoming wildly popular; the Internet. Regardless of where you go for online dating, there will be a lot of things you will have to keep hidden for your own personal safety.
Many websites will not give out your real email address for people to contact you; this is to prevent spam that are/are not related to the dating site. Giving out general information about yourself, such as a first name only or a big locale (so, lets say you are in Chula Vista, CA, then just choose San Diego). When taking your photo for the site, choose a neutral background/location and do not wear shirts that showcase where you are (for example, the shirt of a university or college). If you have children, never have your children in the photo with you.
Always keep your phone number under wraps until you are ready to give that out (and when you do, make it a cell phone, not a home phone). Always, on your first date, meet at a very public place and never take them back to your home or hotel room.
