Communicating with someone through the Internet matchmaking services can be real fun. Your circle of friends and accountancies widens, and finally you find your special one you have been looking for. If you are new to online dating, learn about the basic principles making your communication successful.
1. Careful choice of websites.
Search for reliable web resources. When you start your online communications, be careful with someone who seems too good to be true in the beginning. Listen to your intuitive voice.
2. Self-protection.
Do not provide your full name and contact details in your profile on the dating website. Also use a free email address before you feel comfortable to share your real email address and other personal details with a person you like.
3. Don’t take it on trust alone.
Make your decisions wisely. Use your common sense in defining someone’s honesty and decency, as well as motives of communicating with you. Request several photos of your fiancé to have a better idea of his or her looks and surroundings.
4. Online chatting is not enough.
Exchanging messages online will not give you the full idea of someone’s social and communication skills. Practice telephone conversations too, but try not to reveal your home phone number in the very beginning.
6. Meet in person when you feel prepared and safe.
You should feel safe and ready while making arrangements to meet your online friend in person. Think honestly if any manipulation techniques had been used to make you feel obliged to meet. Arrange the first meeting in a place where you would feel secure.
Share your plans with someone you trust. Leave all contact details possible if you are going to another country. Leave copies of your documents with this friend or relative of yours. Agree on a key word or phrase that will tell your friend or relative that you are in danger if you pronounce it during your telephone conversation with him or her. Register at your country’s embassy upon the arrival. Do your best in providing your own security.
