The stigma that has surrounded online dating is rapidly
disappearing. In fact, it is now one of the safest way to
meet single men or women.
Nevertheless, many singles can still be apprehensive about
signing up to an online dating service.
A feeling of caution is only natural and, in some ways, advisable
– but if you follow our seven FWD Thinking
steps you should be able to enjoy your time meeting others
online and get the most from Fast Web Dating.
1. Keep it a secret - Do
not, under any circumstance, reveal any personally identifiable
information in your online dating profile or in your private
e-mails to potential online partners. This includes details
such as your real name, your address or specifics about where
you work.
2. Close contact - Use only
the communications tools provided by Fast Web Dating. You
should not invite singles to e-mail you at your regular address,
at least until you get to know them better and you're sure
it is safe to do so. If you do e-mail potential partners in
private, you may want to consider using an anonymous e-mail
account.
3. Move at your own pace – There's
no rush. Don't go straight from your first e-mail to first
date until you really feel like you've got to know the person.
Build up enough of a backlog of old e-mails to get an idea
of what they are like and even show them to your friends and
find out what they think. Even if they have no more of an
idea than you, at least you'll all enjoy it!
4. Don't take everything you read at face value
– Most people are intelligent enough to realise that
they won't get anywhere by bending the truth, but that doesn't
stop the odd one or two. Usually this will amount to little
more than shaving a few pounds off their weight and a few
years off their age, which will only end up embarrassing them.
However, a healthy amount of skepticism regarding what you
read online is always wise – not everyone may be as
honest as you.
5. Remember: it's your call - Don't let anybody
pressure you into revealing anything about yourself that you
want to keep private. Anyone who does is not respecting your
boundaries and is probably not worth contacting further.
6. Follow your instincts
- If you feel uncomfortable about anyone you have been in
contact with or who wants to find out more about you, don't let them pressure you into divulging anything too personal. If they persist then cease contact with them. On the
other hand, always remain cautious and seek the thoughts of
others before you get in deeper than you realise with someone
who you think you really like.
7. Don't spend all your time online –
Of course we want you to enjoy your time online with Fast
Web Dating, and we hope you will find what you're looking
for, but you should not be spending every waking hour at your
computer, otherwise you'll have very little to talk to your
potential partner about! Our online dating service provides
the opportunity to make new friends and hopefully enhance
your life, not to dominate it.
