5 TIPS FOR SENIOR DATING ONLINE
If you can spare a few minutes from your busy schedule, we can discuss the safety of using online websites for dating. The plus points of online dating are that it is affordable, fun and safe. The unwanted attention that it sometimes brings in many ways, is however a drawback.
You can go through the following tips to reduce the potential for anything other than the BEST.
1) Your private email is supposed to be just that. There are many who want to join an online dating community and know you, but are not ready to part with cash for the privilege. The fact that we have your REAL information is the safety factor in joining an online dating website. Anyone who has paid for a membership can be tracked down, if it ever becomes necessary. Thus your safety is ensured. Many phony people out there like to join the FREE bandwagon. Don’t be misled by these cheap folks. After all what’s the need for a cheap date for you?
2) If you want honesty from people then you should be the first one to initiate that honesty. Don’t post a false age and kindly post your current (current means a year or less) pictures.
3) Never ever, as a rule, should you ask for information that is strictly personal. That online relationships have a tendency of taking on a life of their own is well known. There is a huge possibility of developing feelings for people. But always remember that con artists out there are ready to prey on unsuspecting senior netizens. You can definitely disclose some information but keep a check on what you reveal and how soon you let slip personal information to your unknown dating partner. No one has the right to ask you about your financial condition or finances. You should immediately severe all connections with anyone who dares to ask such questions. You can report to the website monitors also, who are trained to deal with such situations.
4) A first date is definitely a wonderful way of eventually meeting your new friend. The following things that I will tell you have been heard by you many times before. Make it a point to meet in a public place where the entrance is close to the parking space. There should be ample parking. Inform a friend or someone about the place you are going to visit and direct him/her to call you up a little after you have reached the venue to ensure your safe arrival. Also make sure that he/she knows who you are out with and where. Make this same person verify after the end of the date, as to whether you have reached home safely. Or you can choose to meet at another public place, which is not too distant from the place where you met your date. You can start off a new friendship on a great note with coffee or lunch dates.
5) Please be patient. It is fun to date online and it is supposed to be a safe and enjoyable way of meeting new people from the comfort and safety of your home, in your own time. Don’t jump into a relationship hastily. Let the relationship move at your own sweet pace so that you feel comfortable with it. Abide by what your heart and common sense say about your prospective friend/friends. Wish you good luck and hope you enjoy yourself in your search for a prospective partner or special friend.
