Current news is full of stories about attacks, frauds, and rapes that you must learn how to protect yourself. Use only secure online dating sites that has https://, not http:// without the small "s". It assures that your payments and personal details will remain secure........Also:
1- Initially, never reveal your phone #. It's a recipe for crank calls and worse. Use e-mail until you meet someone in person and feel secure with him.
2- Initially, never reveal where you live. Meet him for the first time getting there by yourself.
3- Choose your photo, and write your profile carefully. Don't reveal too much about your private life, and your home life. Don't show your car license plate.
4- Don't divulge your daily routine, like what time you go for a jog, what gym you belong to or where you work.
5- When you meet, do it in a busy well lit location. Tell a friend who you are meeting, where you are meeting and have them call you 1/2 hour into the date. If all is O.K. say wrong number. If not, then say it's a family emergency and leave. Be careful. Be safe.

Online dating is scary, but let's not fear-monger. On a positive note I have found a unique site that places the highest priority upon privacy - it architected and enforced through best practices. The name of this site is sparkbliss[dot]com and I have not found another site that offers anything similar in terms of safety.
