Online dating should be as safe as any other dating medium. If you follow a few basic safety guidelines,
there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to enjoy the online experience. It's important to trust your
instincts and use common sense, just as you would with any offline interpersonal interaction.
A few dating tips:
Carefully select the type of information that you post on iSingles for release to others – refrain from disclosing
personal identifying information in your public profile, such as phone number, full name or home/work address.
Always remember that you are in control while online - iSingles allows you to contact the other site members through an internal
messaging system, thus allowing you to communicate with others without disclosing any contact details (phone, full
name, home address), unless you choose to do so. You have the option to remain anonymous, until such time that
you are ready to disclose personal details.
Take your time to get to know someone before proceeding to talk or meet outside the internet - don't be rushed into
things that you are not comfortable with.
Be cautious of any member attempting to solicit money from you - use your common sense and refrain from providing
any financial information (such as bank account details).
Before meeting someone outside the internet, try to chat on the phone for a while and get to know that person.
Also, make sure that you have the person's phone number, and try to call unexpectedly at least once.
When you choose to meet someone outside the internet, always pick a public place where you would feel comfortable,
and let a friend or family member know that you are going on a date, and with whom.
It is advised not to be picked up or accept a lift home at the beginning/end of a date.
Do not be pressured into doing anything you do not wish to do.
