Since you can’t easily see the person you’re talking to, what seems interesting and fun online dating can easily turn into danger or deception. It’s very easy to trick others because people can get away with it. Of course, this reflects the true nature of people because even if you meet them on the streets, they can also do the same thing. Dating, especially online dating, is a true gamble. So be more careful because it concerns matters of the heart. First and foremost, do not give your trust away so quickly. You never know what the other person is intending to do. They might be planning to take advantage of you especially if you are trusting. When dealing with cyber folks, treat them as you would offline people. Make them earn your trust slowly. Talk to them extensively and learn more about them. Check for any inconsistencies. Even when you think they’re clean, always leave some room for a benefit of the doubt because you can never really know. When it doesn’t feel right, most likely it really isn’t right. Trust your hunches and go with them. Do not easily dismiss them as nerves because when people appear untrustworthy, they probably are. Although you can do background checks with the police or an investigative service if you think they aren’t telling the truth, it is also best that you take caution by holding back information or simply stop dating them. In the real world, would you continue to go out with someone you thought you couldn’t trust? I didn’t think so either. Do not trust them when they often disappear or cannot be reached by phone or email; provide inconsistent information with regards to age, appearance, marital status, profession and others; refuse to give you their home number and they are the ones calling you; or they refuse to speak to you on the phone after ongoing, online intimacy. You should also be concerned when they don’t answer you directly when you ask some things; when their online persona is greatly different from offline presence; and they never have introduced you to family, friends or colleagues. No one can protect you but yourself. You may be trustworthy but there are many out there who are only into online dating to deceive others. It is okay when you or your date holds back information about yourselves in the beginning. But when things get more serious, be aware if they aren’t as honest as they should be. Open your eyes to any hints that this person is only looking for a way to mislead you. Don’t lie to yourself either that they only want to be mysterious. If they want this relationship to work, then they should start with honesty because it is an important foundation for any relationship. Don’t fall in love so fast. Be responsible when it comes to online dating because you just might fall flat on the ground.
