Of course this doesn't apply just to cyber dating, or those considering that type of relationship. Anyone who is interested in making friends in cyber space should consider having an email account somewhere other than with their internet service provider's account.

You never know just who you might cross paths with out here, and it is much safer to establish an email account at a remote location that reveals nothing about your geographical location. Later, after you decide that someone is trustworthy enough, you can give them your personal email address. After all, would you give your home address to someone that you just met?

Remember to be careful giving out your personal information to anyone that you haven't verified yet, no matter how well you seemed to have "connected" with that person. 

Make sure before you agree to meet anyone that you have all the facts about them, and that someone else knows where you are going and who you are going to see. Agree to meet only in a public place, and make sure that someone you know has a photograph of the person that you are meeting. Again, make sure your date knows this.

Also make sure that the person you are going to meet knows that you are going to have to check in with a friend, and never agree to meet anywhere or do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Even if you feel that you love someone, doing something that makes you feel uncomfortable will only cause problems in the relationship over the long run.

Things that should automatically raise alarms are requests for financial assistance. These requests may range from help with bills, airfare, and heavy suggestions for presents. Beware of people who ask for suggestive photographs (I know that sounds obvious, but you might be surprised), or who, after you have physically met, want to take videotape or make photographs of more intimate moments. So many times women especially fall victim to these scams, yet never report them for fear of being exposed to their family or friends or simply because they really don't know who to report.

Date and have fun, but be careful and don't forget to use common sense!
