Online dating is a truly phenomenal change in the way that we meet new
 
people in modern society. Gone are the days of blind dating somebody
 
that you have never laid an eye on. Who hasn't had a bad experience
 
with a blind date that some colleague or family member has sent you on?
 
I get the shivers just thinking about some of these blind dates that I
 
have been on. Online dating removes many of the negative unknowns while
 
allowing you to meet some great people that you would never have met
 
otherwise. It has become so popular over the last decade that today
 
alone there is numerous reality TV shows dealing with the subject of
 
online dating. After you have spent some time in front of your PC
 
communicating with a person, you will want to meet him or her face to
 
face. It is important to remember that even though you have spent quite
 
a bit of time communicating and maybe even exchanging photos or videos
 
with each other, you still don't know the complete history of this
 
person.

I will try to give you some tips on safe online dating:

1. First rule in safe online dating is to meet the person somewhere in
 
a public place. Don't let him to pick you up from home on the first
 
date. If it's possible try to arrange some kind of double date because
 
you will be and feel safer having somebody with you that you trust.

2. If you don't want to feel under any obligation pay half of the bill.

3. You found a person that you really like trough online dating and you
 
finally meet him in a bar. Remember that alcohol can affect your
 
judgment. So try not to have too many alcoholic drinks.

4. It's safer to use your own transportation. This way you won't have
 
to depend on the person that you are dating.

5. Online dating is great and you can meet very interesting people.
 
Always keep in mind though that what you see on your computer can be
 
very different from the reality. For example if your online date said
 
that he is a very religious man this doesn't mean that you can trust
 
him. As with any relationship it takes time before we really get to
 
know our other half in the relationship.

6. One of the most important safety rules is to let someone else know
 
where you are. Believe me when I tell you that this is safer. If
 
something bad happens, there is at least someone that knows where to
 
look for you. It's best for you to tell a friend to phone you and check
 
on you at a pre- arranged time.

7. If you really like the person that you met through online dating
 
it's still good to stay alert. You never know what can happen.

In conclusion: Online dating is one of the greatest developments in our
 
day and age. Just remember to be safe and responsible.

The next time your aunt tries to fix you up with somebody in her church
 
group, tell her that you already have a boyfriend...in South Africa.
