Safety-wise, meeting on the Net is in herently similar to
meeting offline. As long as the same standard dating
precautions are followed, cyber-daters can feel truly at ease while getting to
know each other. The main thing to remember: trust your instincts and use
common sense just like you would offline.
You can rest assured that you're in the right place because
Datemeout, goes to extra lengths to ensure that it's sites stay clean and safe.
We do our best to monitor and block emails of anyone who uses profanity,
pornography or other inappropriate comments/photographs and is not serious
about finding a relationship. We also strive to keep all contacts between
members onsite so your email address remains confidential. However be aware
that contact with a member not utilizing our internal site process may disclose
your email address.
Before you get started, here are a few guidelines to keep in mind.
Helpful Hints for Common Sense Online Dating
• Remember that you are
in control of your online experience at all times. You can remain completely
anonymous until you feel ready.
• You are also in control when
it comes to taking an online relationship offline. Plus, you have an advantage
online because you can get to know each other before you meet. Remember that
you don't need to take anything further than the computer or phone wires until
you feel completely at ease. Go at your own pace!
• When you do decide to meet
face to face, pick a public place and provide your own transportation to and
fro. Tell a friend where you're going and check in when you return home.
• Never include your personal
contact information in your profile, especially telephone numbers, email, home
address or your last name, and only give them out when your instincts tell you
this is someone you can trust. It's okay to take your time.
• Set up an email account just
for online dating.
• Ask a lot of questions and
watch for inconsistencies.
• Stay away from
members who won't take no for an answer or pressure you for any kind of
personal information. Serious cyber-savvy daters will respect your space and
allow you to take your time.
• Even with our strong effort
to ensure the quality of our sites, we cannot guarantee perfection in the
system. To deal with this, we have a customer care staff, and we ask members to
email us at customercare@Datemeout.com if they see
anything strange so that we can research it.
• If someone asks you to go to
their personal web site or asks you for money, use common sense not to oblige
and then report the situation to us.
• If someone gives you a phone
number with a strange area code, check it out to make sure it's not a charge
number before you make the call.
• Using your own good judgment
is your best bet because ultimately you are responsible for your personal
dating experience. Trust your instincts and then have fun with the right
people!
