Is online dating safe?    

Yes, online dating is safe. At least most dating sites require payment, which tends to discourage potential “creeps” from wasting their time. All you have to do is follow the same rules of safety that apply to traditional dating.

Here are a few online dating tips that will help to stay safe:

1. Protect any financial information. Don’t give out your financial information to people that you do not know or have never met. Ignore any requests for money and never send any cash or wire money.

2. Protect your personal information as well as passwords. Be wise when sharing any personal information or contact information.

3. Be wise and smart on the internet. Use your best judgment and be cautious of red flags that
may indicate a scammer.

4. Report any suspicious users to the site administrator.
