Dating Safety Tips

1. While more and more people are meeting through the use of the Internet and Internet dating sites, remember that the people you meet are strangers
2. Guard your personal information and do not give out your name, address or phone number over the Internet
3. If you feel you have met that ‘special someone’ online and feel you want to meet in person, make that initial meeting in a public place, and a group meeting if possible
4. Most online dating services do not run any sort of background check. Run one yourself wherever and whenever possible.
