1- Be choosy about which Dating sites you select. Use the ones that specialize in compatibility matches and shared interests.
2- Safety first. When you agree to meet for the first time, don't let him pick you up at home. If the date doesn't workout for you and his is, at best annoying you, and at worst, a stalker you don't want him to know where you live. Choose a popular, well-lit place, drive there yourself or have a friend take you. It's important for a friend or loved one to know who you are meeting, in addition to where and when. About a half-hour into the date, have your friend call your cell. If all is O.K. say sorry wrong number. If you want to get out of there, listen for a while, say "Oh, no" and tell him you have to leave immediately for an emergency. Stay sober, and always watch your drink. That's right, never let it out of your sight. Nothing can be put into your drink if you're watching.. No matter how well it goes, don't leave with him. Use your intuition.
3- Be careful but don't let fear immobilize you. Just be cautious until your intuition tells you that he is O.K.

Some Do's and Don'ts for Online Dating
1-Create a great profile. Use a professional photographer for a "glamour shot" to show you at your best possibly doing what you enjoy. Also try to get help developing a "hook" for a grabber headline. Try to keep it upbeat, focusing on your values, interests and hobbies. Don't mention prior relationships or negative dating perceptions. Be clear about looking for someone who is emotionally stable who shares common interests.
2- It's O.K. for a woman to contact a man especially if he has something in his profile that you find interesting. Just contact him once and wait for him to reply. No reply means no interest.
3- Don't get ahead of yourself by telling too much about about yourself too soon. Be cool. Go slowly.
