For the vast majority of singles, online dating is a fun, safe and convenient way to meet interesting and compatible singles. However, it is always important to follow a few rules in order to protect yourself. Here are some important tips to remember when you engage in online dating.

One of the most important dating safety tips to remember is to never give out your personal information to someone that you don't know. For instance, when completing your online profile, you of course should give your first name, but you don't need to go further with a full name. The same is true with your profession. While it might be a great asset to list that you are a software engineer, you shouldn't mention that you work at a specific location. Obviously, you don't want people that you don't know showing up at work or knocking on your door. In addition, if you decide to go out on a date for the first time, you can easily tell your date that you will meet him or her at a specific location, this way they don't have to pick you up at your home.

Another important dating safety tip is to first meet in a comfortable, public environment. Restaurants are great, so are coffee shops. Just don't choose your first date with someone that you don't know a day of hiking in the woods. Usually a public establishment is the most comfortable and safest. If there are any problems, there are always other people around that can help you out.

Another dating safety tip is to remember that drinking alcohol can affect your judgment. While a glass or two of wine can be a good idea for many people, make sure you know your limit. The more you drink, the more your judgment can be affected. For guys, you don't want to get excessively drunk or drunk at all on your first date, you should show your date that you are responsible. One of the ways to avoid a drunken date is to meet for lunch or at a coffee shop that doesn't serve alcohol, this way, neither of you will be tempted to drink.

One of the most common dating safety tips is to tell your friend or family member will you will be meeting a person. While it is unnecessary for your friends to be at the same restaurant during your date, it is always a good idea to let people know your schedule.

Another important dating safety tip is to make sure you feel comfortable with the other person. It is one thing to be bored or uninterested in the other person, but if you feel in danger or threatened, just end the date calmly and go home.

For the most part dating safety is common sense and while everyone can have a lapse in judgment from time to time, online dating is extremely safe if you keep in mind these important dating safety tips.
