Some people may have malicious intent on meeting you, may be rob your or may be harm you physically. This is true especially in case of children and teenagers. Here are some tips you can give your children and use them yourselves for protecting yourself online, while dating.
Do not use your real name to chat with anyone, do not use chat names that give any clue about who and where you are. Your online profile should not contain any relevant information about you. Keep your personal details secret; do not provide your financial or proprietary information online to any person in particular. Always protect yourself and maintain your secrecy, while at the same remaining anonymous. Take your time, there is no rush in getting hooked, the other person is not going
anywhere, feel safe, getting on the phone is a good idea, use your mobile phone incase you have one or use a new number, incase if the time comes to cut ties all you would have to do is change numbers. Asking for references from the other person is also a good idea, ask about his work, his boss, his friends and family. Above all have some common sense; if meeting the person meet in a public place, be late for the first meeting and tell some one about where are you going and whom are you suppose to meet, even provide contact information.

Well every man out there has made a mistake or two, while dating. It is very hard to put your self in the dating world again and again; only to see that you may have made mistakes that may put you back in your single status again. Here are some tips on what to do and what not to do while dating.
Well for starters women expect and they expect a lot; anything below their expectations is a compromise. By expectations I do not mean, they expect you to get on the horse and be their savior, but by expecting I mean, they expect you to be punctual, even if they themselves are late, they expect chivalry to be dead and stay dead, the expect you to foot the bill, unless otherwise discussed by them, prior to the date. Women expect you to call them on the hour every hour, updating them about your where about; women don’t trust you, at least not in the beginning. Do not try to prove them wrong. Do try to do something out of your way and out of the blue for them, it will go down in their good books earning you more marks. Not all women like long walks on the beach and bubble baths, so remember every woman is different and wants to be treated in a similar fashion.
