• DO be careful when using a sexy name.
  Keep in mind that, while using sexual connotations in your email address or username might get you noticed, it probably would not attract the type of person you would  like to share a relationship with or even a conversation for that matter. The same precautions you would use in dating outside the Internet, should also be used on online.
  
  Tip: Do not include your real name or city of residence within your email address or in your username.
• DO trust your gut.
  Immediately quit corresponding when you feel unsure or threatened.
• DO tell a friend.
  Tell at least one friend or family member who you are meeting, where you are going and when you expect to return. Let your date know your meeting is not a secret.
  
  Tip: Contact your friend before and after the date or ask your friend to contact you at a predetermined time.
• DO set up a next date, if you are ready and feel comfortable.
  And DO remember to follow all of these tips on subsequent meetings, until you feel confident with your new friend. If the other person is sincerely interested in you, he or she will want you to feel safe.
• DO keep valuables in the hotel or room safe.
  Do not take them or wear them on your date.
• DO NOT forget to keep family and friends posted.
  Always tell someone who you are meeting, where you are going and when you plan to return.
  
  Tip: Let your date know that your whereabouts are not a secret to your friends and family.
• DO get as many details as possible about the other person BEFORE meeting off-line.
  Do not forget to share some of those details with a friend or family member.
• DO listen to your gut.
  If the other person can only meet or talk to you at odd hours, they may be keeping a secret. If that person cannot be honest with you from the start, you cannot count on them to be forthright in the future.
• DO set up a next date, if you are ready and feel comfortable.
  And DO remember to follow all of these tips on subsequent meetings, until you feel confident with your new friend. If the other person is sincerely interested in you, he or she will want you to feel safe.
• DO stay in a hotel.
  If you can not afford it, do not go. NEVER stay at the other home on your first visit.
• DO use taxis to get to and from the airport.
  If the other person wants to greet you at the airport  great! It shows interest and it is polite. But DO NOT get into a personal vehicle with someone you are meeting for the first time.
  
  Tip: Arrange a public rendezvous location and time, then take a taxi  alone to your hotel.
