Think it's time to meet that special someone that you have been chatting online with, in person? Sure, you will take the basic precautions like telling a friend where you will be and meeting in a public place, but is that really enough?
Here are six of the most common pitfalls associated with Internet dating.
1. Scams
Many people have lost thousands of dollars or valuable property to people that they have met on the internet. Be very wary of anyone that asks for money or "falls in love" too soon.
2. Stalking
Think that the anonymity afforded by the internet can protect you? It can't. If you hand over personal information such as telephone number, address or e-mail you are a prime candidate for being stalked. Don't ever give out your personal information to anyone online until you can verify their background and intentions.
3. Violence
Far too many people have been physically assaulted by people they have met online. Many dangerous people with criminal records are using the Internet to prey on innocent victims.
4. Mental and Emotional Abuse
Abuse is not confined to physical injury. A great majority of people have been harassed, humiliated, terrorized and threatened via online communications.
5. Identity Theft
Once again, never give out your personal information to anyone online. Many unscrupulous individuals will try to gain your trust in order to steal your identity.
6. Adultery
Up to 30% of people using Internet dating services is married. Though no method is fail-safe, many of the dangers listed above can be avoided by doing a background check on anyone you plan on meeting.
Tip: If you are an avid online dater, save money and purchase a membership from an online background check company. Memberships let you perform multiple background checks for up to a month for one low price.

Successful Online Dating
By Barry Ohman
For those of you who have never bothered trying online dating, there is nothing to fear if you do things right from the start. You will find that honesty is the key to successful online dating and I'll give you some hints as to how to go about doing this.
To start with you have to choose an online dating site that suits your needs in which you are looking for in online dating. This involves a lot of factors which include sexual preference, ethnicity, age, and many others that will help you determine the online dating site that will meet your needs and requirements.
Before you choose an online dating site it would also be wise as for you to check their alexa.com ranking as you need not to waste your time with unpopular online dating sites. You would also be wise to check out complaints about an online dating site as well; though you may find some complaints are the results of people not reading the Terms and Conditions of an online dating site prior to joining.
Once you have found the online dating site that suits your needs and requirements, it is time for you to sign up and fill in your personal information for your personal profile. This is where you have to be honest with the information that you provide about yourself.
If you misrepresent yourself with information that is untrue you will eventually be found out and it may cost you a potential relationship. You have to be honest with the information that you post about yourself as well for what you are looking for in a potential date that you may meet.
It is in your best interest also to provide photos of yourself for your personal profile. Those that do not post photos with their personal profiles are more than likely not to get as many responses as those that have provided photos. You must provide photos of yourself that are recent as you will only disappoint someone if you appear different than what your photo showed with your personal profile.
When you are writing your personal profile I would suggest that you write with some flare when describing yourself as well as what you are looking for in a potential partner. You should write to make yourself sound interesting to those that may take time to read your personal profile and may end up responding to you.
If you are successful to make this far in your online dating quest, you will more than likely meet that special someone that you have being looking for. Best of luck and hope you are successful in your online dating endeavors.

How To Screen Online Profile Pictures
By Scot McKay
This is an acquired skill. It isn't learned overnight. But if you are doing the online dating thing want to avoid some serious drama, you'll…um…need mad skeelz.
And you know what I'm talking about. You sort through people online, say at Match.com or Yahoo Personals. Some look interesting, but…the deal with the pictures is, you know, sketchy. Here's the crash course on screening online profile pics. It's not an exact science, but there are some short-cuts and tell-tale signs that are virtually infallible. You may not agree, and your mileage may vary, so send me your feedback. Also send me your ideas that you would have included.
Okay, first of all…you are NOT "shallow" if you want to see what the person looks like. Get that weight off your shoulders. If anyone ever says this to you again, feel free to tell him or her McKay is to blame for your attitude. I can live with that. This is a key component of attraction, whether people potentially unattractive to you like it or not! Don't be played into thinking you are unreasonable by someone with no picture for asking. And don't be duped into meeting the person either.
Of note also here are those with no picture (or even one substandard one) who claim, "I am incredibly hott, but have no/bad pictures because I: 1) Don't have a digital camera, and have no friends with one either,… 2) am computer illiterate, despite my ability to complete this profile, and… 3) fear being seen by coworkers/friends and embarrassed." Don't buy it. Any of it. If there's something bothering this person about being seen by others, and you are REALLY intrigued, then maybe ask for the pics to be emailed to you. This has actually panned out for me exactly one time in three years. If you get more excuses at that point, you've gotta jett…period. Bear in mind that people with no pics may not just be insecure about their appearance. Some may be MARRIED. Or WANTED in six states! Think about that one for a while. People with one picture that's either fuzzy or very limited in view aren't off the hook here, either. Ask for more pictures-it's okay. "I have a picture up there already, and that's what I look like" doesn't cut it as an excuse.
Here are a few more silver bullets on this subject. Glamour Shot=Run Away. Seriously. If he or she has webcam capture pics only, same story (although requesting that he or she get on the cam for you isn't a bad idea). Also, look out for the pic that's a very close-cropped face shot…that's not enough to go on. And keep your eyes open for clear signs that the pics are not exactly new or accurate. One of my personal favorites was the woman who talked about having a 12-year-old son in her profile, and the pic was of her holding an infant! When I called her on it, she said, "Yeah, it's okay. I still look exactly like that." Hmmm. I have also seen people in their mid to late twenties who have posted pictures from high school, it turns out. That's just wrong on many levels, if you think about it. I mean, how creeped out is a brother supposed to feel for finding pics of a 27 y.o. woman attractive-who's actually 16? You get my drift.
The other thing--and you've seen this for sure--is the person with 20 pictures up…ALL of which look completely different! I've seen women with pictures so diverse that you'd swear an entire sorority was sharing one profile. Hair color, various stages of weight gain/loss, age differences, etc. Interestingly, I have found that there is virtually no indication as to which of the pics someone is going to really look like, with two exceptions: 1) The bigger the body, the greater the likelihood of current accuracy, and… 2) The ones with the tattoos are probably newer. That said, I've met women who look like NONE of their umpteen pictures, which perhaps serves as a reasonable indictment of the entire purpose of the pics to begin with, right? Also a potential question mark is the person who teases you with the promise of "12 pics", all but one of which are dogs, sunsets, BMWs, Paris, etc. What is that about? Is the subject of the profile not "enough" to impress me? If not…well…you get it.
Look also for subtle (or not so much) clues about someone's true personality in the pics. You know this guy. He's the one who's such a "loyal, family-man" type in the profile, and posts the picture where you can see what's going on at the "gentlemen's club" in the background. Listing examples here could go on all day.
So what are some indicators that the pics are good and accurate? Well, first…consistency. Several pics that are clearly of the same person is a plus, assuming they all aren't from the same photo session or something. In this case, you can usually be sure that s/he might look like that when and if you meet. Be careful here, because some people are either very photogenic or not. Feel free to ask that question, and listen closely to the answer-which might be surprisingly candid. Actually if someone says, "I take TERRIBLE pics!" that tends to be a good sign. If you think about it, that makes sense if you are already liking what you see. Next, variety. A face shot, a full-body shot, indoor, outdoors, casual, formal, silly, serious, smiling, serious, etc. If people have nothing to hide here, they shouldn't and typically won't. I'm not talking about bikini shots being necessary here though, and the general consensus among women I've noticed is that they'd rather guys keep their clothes on in profile pics. So you know what I mean.
Interestingly, disclaimers in the text of a profile about the pics are usually accurate…be they good or bad. I'm not quite on board with the woman who had five or six pictures, only to say on the last line of her tome-like profile that she had "gained fifty pounds since the pics were taken" (refer to "games"). Nonetheless, if someone says something to the effect of , "Yes…I'm 42 and the pictures are recent", you are likely dealing with someone who truly is looking good for his or her age.
So there are a few ideas to get you started. I good by-product of this discussion might be to re-evaluate one's own pics, right?

How To get The Most From Dating Services
By Morgan Hamilton
Do you want to try one of those online dating services? This is one of the options that is available to all single adults living in this day and age. I think that it's the best way to meet new and exciting people who are looking for more excitement in life. There are countless possibilities when you're connected to the World-Wide-Web.
The power of the Internet gives us the ability of being in touch with anyone across the globe. Things have certainly become more convenient and accessible these days. Over the last few years the phenomenon of cyberspace dating services has become very popular. Singles around the world are getting in on the online dating game.
The possibilities of online dating are really intriguing. For instance, it’s exciting to wonder about who you could possibly meet today. It could be an exotic beauty from a country an ocean away. Now, there’s no need to fret because a single plane ticket can bring the two of you together in no time at all. Of course, you could also use online dating services to pinpoint some amazing individual in your immediate or surrounding areas.
You can start by chatting with another single on IM for a while before proceeding with a date once you feel comfortable enough to meet in-person. This is what's so high-tech and awesome about online dating. You only have to meet those you choose to meet. You can simply click off your PC of Mac if there is clearly no spark between you.
The narrowing process is probably one of the greatest advantages of online dating services. It can be really difficult to meet others who truly share your interests, goals and passions in life. However, cyberspace dating services can help you search for singles who share your views.
You should pop open Google.com if you want to access new-age online dating services and get started today. Simply punch in the key words "dating services" and you will be shocked by all the great and helpful results. This is the perfect time to stop hanging out on your own. You can find someone to share your life and dreams with by delving into net-land and checking out online dating sites right now.

Get More Replies From Single Women When You're Online Dating
By Jason King
The one fundamental for online dating to work for you is to get replies from your messages from other single women. With out getting any replies your efforts are wasted, and it probably won’t be long before you give up your online dating adventure. In fact over 90% of single men give up online dating within 3 months. This is not due to them not being enthusiastic, it’s because online dating is different to meeting someone in a bar or club.
Generally, single men take their bar and club mentality into online dating, and expect the same results. When you’re in a club you can walk up to a woman, and ask her if she would like a drink. In a club this is a good way to break the ice. With online dating you have to make a much better impression. You’re in competition with hundreds or even thousands of other single men. You can’t just send a smile or flirt saying “Would you like a chat?”
When you’re online dating you have to compose an e-mail, and say something nice to the woman about something you have seen in her profile. This makes your message stand out from the crowd. A very attractive women will usually receive hundreds of smiles or flirts a week on a popular online dating service. Most of these will just get deleted as she will already know what they’re going to ask her.
If she sees an e-mail amongst her messages she will be more inclined to have a look to see what it says, and then you have grabbed her attention.
The next important part of her replying to you is having your profile set up properly. Have a nice clear photo of yourself where it’s easy to see yourself. If you have a photo taken from too far away, or one with you and your mates in it you’re not going to impress her that much.
Once you have impressed her enough with your photo, you then want to give her something to read that will further grab her attention. Talking about exciting hobbies, and generally making yourself sound like a fun, active guy will give her a good reason to want to get to know you more.
Make it easy for her to reply to you by sounding very approachable. Be positive in everything you say in your profile. Any negativity will just turn everyone off of you. Add some wit to your profile if you can make it sound good. If humor isn’t your thing then it’s best to stay away from it. If they end up laughing at you instead of with you they will only click off of your profile.
Once you have experimented with the advice above you will start seeing more replies in your inbox. Online dating is something that can be mastered with a little bit of practice.

Christian Online Dating: Worth a Try?
By David Kamau
In this day and age, as people get more content at letting the internet play matchmaker, Christian online dating continues to gain acceptance and popularity. But is it worth trying?
The internet is one of the safest portals for meeting other people for dating or a serious relationship. And with online dating trends gravitating towards specialty and community-based dating, we see an increase in the number of sites catering to Christian online dating.
There are advantages to this phenomenon. Some of the advantages include:
1. Wide net: You can search thousands of profiles of people sharing the same faith. There's a vast Christian network that has varied interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes. The big number gives you a better chance of finding one that you like.
2. Christian online dating provides a very comfortable environment and- though you still must exercise caution and commonsense- is considered safe. The online dating community is a place where you can create lasting relationships for acquaintance, friendship, companionship, romance, and can even lead to a permanent commitment.
3. In a Christian online dating site, the center is spirituality. People here believe they have filtered out the dates with people who may not share the same set of values. If you are joining a Christian online dating site, you'll know what you can expect.
4. You can narrow the field even farther down to an even more specific faith such as Catholic, Latter Day Saints (Mormon), Seventh Day Adventists etc.
5. You can be specific as to the level of religious commitment, to match your own. To some people going to church every Sunday may be deemed "Christian" enough; for others it could be more or less.
A Christian online dating website should include chat rooms where you can have fun discussions, both personal and biblical. In most sites, you can also post memos and notes on message boards and share pictures with photo galleries. And of course, you can send personal messages to private mail boxes.
Many dating websites also feature instant messaging and voice introductions for a more personal touch. Some of the Christian websites even offer Christian dating services aside from online matching.
Indeed, dating a stranger sharing your beliefs would be more reassuring than starting with somebody who does not share the same principles.
And as implied, the online society is Christ-centered. And by association, Christ is all pure love and kindness. If you join the group, this indicates you support Christian values and standards. Meeting the love of your life could be a possibility!
The Christian community now utilizes this current trend of communication to widen their reach and to create a fun-loving environment. Christian online dating has proved to be very effective for most people who participate with friendships and often blooms into serious relationships.

Webcam And Online Dating
By Kum Martin
Online dating is popular because you can meet anyone from any corner of the globe right at your home through your computer. Online dating is the right move for someone who is shy or a loner. You can date without having to take your date to restaurants, clubs or bars!

Internet Dating Advice For A More Rewarding Experience
By Jason King
Avoid costly mistakes that can put you in a worse position than when you started internet dating. This internet dating advice will show you these mistakes, and then you can save yourself from any early setbacks. Any one of these will ruin anything good that you have going or completely turn other singles off of you instantly.
First mistake singles usually make is lying on their profile. When you're dating on the internet you have to be honest. Anyone can make a mistakes on the dating profile but a blatant lie is not something someone can forgive you for. There's already a big thing with trusting people who use internet dating web sites so lying is not going to do you any favors. Honesty is an attractive trait in people.
Not sending any e-mails can affect your internet dating results. Many singles never send e-mails, and the main reason for this is you can't send any until you have payed for your membership. You can reply to other singles e-mails but you need to initiate your own contact. It's no good just setting up your profile just to receive contact from other singles. Other singles like to receive e-mails, this is what starts relationships. You can add that personal touch to an e-mail to show the other singles that you're attracted to them by what you have read in their profile.
Having an empty profile is a sure way not to get contacted. By having an empty profile you're giving the impression you're only there to window shop. You need to have a nice detailed internet dating profile so other singles can see what makes you tick. They want to see what you enjoy about life, and what your goals are. They can get an idea of a future with you this way, and it puts a picture in their mind. Remember to keep all your information positive. Being negative is another big turnoff.
Not visiting the internet dating service will stop singles from contacting you. Most dating web sites will show the last time you have been online. If you only visit the service once a month everyone will see this, and it will show you're not that serious in finding a date. Also the more active you are your profile will get higher in the search results as the internet dating service likes activity as well.
Contacting singles just because you like their photo will only get you disappointment. The most attractive singles on any internet dating service will always get the most messages. These will usually be flirts or smiles from singles on a free trial. These will very rarely get a reply so you'll start assuming that no one wants to reply to your messages. Read someone's profile first before making any contact, and then send them an e-mail. Just because you like the look of someone doesn't mean you will have a lasting relationship with them. It probably wouldn't get past the first date.
Never make any sexual requests or innuendos in any messages to another single. You might think that it's funny but it will only turn the other single off. If you want to do this then there are adult internet dating services that are catered for this behaviour. On an ordinary dating service this will not be tolerated by the singles or the service itself. You don't want to get banned from using the service because of 2 minutes of madness.
If you stay away from the mistakes above your internet dating experience will be a lot more rewarding. And you won’t be single for very much longer.

Advantages Of Speed Dating Services
by Jason King
Speed dating services have numerous advantages over going out to a club for the night and trying to get yourself a date. These advantages are helping Speed dating get a huge following, and this is because it gets results. You're put into the fortunate position of having to date up to 20 singles in one night. What more could a single person ask for?
If you're a single, and looking to start a relationship, on a normal night out you would not get the choice of 20 singles to start conversations with. Speed dating does this for you as soon as you walk into the bar. It cuts put all the guess work of thinking whether they are interested in you or not, and that comes with approaching someone when you're out at a club. At a speed dating event they're all single, and they're all there to meet someone.
The singles that use speed dating services are usually all professional people. They're all easy to get on with as the atmosphere is set up that way by the speed dating party hosts. Every single is there fro you to have the opportunity to get to know. It's not like a club where once you have discovered that someone might be single they are approachable or even want to be approached. Not everyone who goes out at the weekend is looking to start a relationship even if they're single. Speed dating eliminates all the wondering of whether it's a good move to go and talk to someone.
The cost of going to a speed dating event isn't much more than a regular night out. So if you are single, and go out every weekend to hopefully start a relationship you will have a better strike rate with a speed dating event. You will meet more singles at one speed dating event than probably 10 nights out so the money saved can be used for your future dates.
If for some reason you don't get matched up with any of your dates you will usually get your next speed dating event free of charge. This is a guarantee by all the top speed dating services to help you find romance at one of their parties. When you attend another event they will arrange it so you meet new singles at the next one, and don't date anyone you have before.
After the event has finished you can usually stay in the bar where you will get a chance to chat to singles you never speed dated with. This can happen sometimes when there is a large number of singles at one event
You can see there are many advantages of using speed dating services when you're trying to meet someone. You just don't get these when you go out at the weekend, and spend all night actually finding someone who's single. Speed dating services hold these events all the time, and they know exactly what atmosphere singles need to get to know each other. They set the scene, and all you have to be is yourself.
