PART II TRICKS YOU NEED TO KNOW According to a recent survey done by DateWatchers, most people are starting to get comfortable with online dating. However, some minor mistakes are still what keeps people from meeting the person they so badly deserve. Online dating can be fun and easy if you know the tricks of the trade. Read these helpful dating tips and you could be the busiest person on the block in no time.
Self-Evaluate
Play the field
Be honest with yourself about the kind of person you're looking for. Don't settle; however, understand that the saying you can't judge a book by its cover can be very true. If you can't find anyone interesting in the current profiles, understand that new ones appear daily on popular sites.
Don't put all of your focus on online dating. Don't seem so desperate that the internet is your last and only hope to find that someone special. For all you know the right person is out at the library, coffee shop, or buying groceries. You have to be positive and think that way as well. People are not attracted to desperation.
Advertise
Check back
Put up several recent photographs of yourself -- in both indoor and outdoor light, also a variety of full body shots as well as close ups of your face. Do not put the classic "Myspace angle" photos or any glamour pictures. If posting a photo online makes you uneasy consider using a private photo sharing service such as www.protectedpix. com. Using the 'teaser image' feature you can modify your photo to give an idea of what you look like without someone being able to actually identify you. You can show your original photo to someone after you screen them and decide that you are interested.
Online Dating Tips
Check a few times a week to see if anyone new has shown up that may interest you. Thou shall not stalk. Do not hound the same person over and over, send them a message or two and after that leave them alone if they don't return your contact -- they're probably not interested.

Keep it positive When writing things about yourself tell people what kind of person you are looking for. Be humorous and upbeat, but be clear about what your interests are and the type of individual you are interested in. If you won't date a smoker, a drinker, someone with children, make that clear (but not rudely) in your profile. Keep in mind that some smokers, drinkers, single parents may still contact you.
Do your homework Some of the online dating websites are becoming more sophisticated in the way they match up people, but that does not mean that they cannot make mistakes. Always check someone out for yourself before you accept a date from them. Just because an emotionless computer thinks you may be a good match for someone does not mean that you are. Look their profile over and email/call them a few times before making the decision to meet.
Interview Always have a phone conversation with a match before any initial meeting. Be highly cautious of anyone who does not want to speak on the phone before meeting, or comes up with repeated excuses as to why they cannot meet you. Have no further contact if a match does this.

Online Dating Tips
Caution Be cautious with the information that you provide a potential match. Do not give specific details about where you live or where you are employed.
Detect Liars/Fraudsters Take note of any discrepancies in the details the person provides you -- it's usually an indication that the person is misleading you.
Play it safe Always have the first few meetings and dates in a public place and always let a relative or friend know where you are going and who you are meeting. Never invite someone to your home during an initial meeting. Do not drink heavily and do not allow anyone but the wait staff and yourself near your drink.
Have a safety net Have a friend or relative call or text you during your initial meeting to see if you're fine. Fraud is everywhere. Be alert to red flags, such as a person repeatedly canceling meetings, asking for money, or pressuring you for personal information or sex early in your acquaintanceship. Cut off contact completely if any of these occur.
Keep an open mind
Be optimistic and upbeat, but be realistic that even the most accurate profile and photograph does not always correlate to real life chemistry between two people. Sometimes two individuals simply won't click, but sometimes they will. Good luck

PART III AVOID SPAM For most of us, finding love on the internet can be a gift from heaven. For others, however, it can be a life-ruining decision – leaving us penniless, heartbroken and with many more problems heading our way. The only way to avoid an online romance scam is to be aware of their occurrences and also to know how to spot them before they begin.
Noticing What Isn't Right Take a look at the picture that the person isusing on the profile
Pay attention When you start talking to someone on the internet, pay particular attention to the messages that they are sending. Are the messages answering the questions that you are asking or are they just generic messages that could be sent to anyone with just one minor change for each – the name? Prolific romance scam artists will generally use the same messages for everyone that they are trying to lure in as victims so if the messages are too general for your liking, back away as fast as you can. They are so generic that you can often find much of what they write by searching on Google. Even on profiles, the text can be copied and pasted from that found on other dating sites.
Does this person look too good to be true? This might just be the case – the easiest way to lure in victims is to make yourself seem as attractive as possible so if the lady or man that you are talking to is in their 40’s but the picture shows a person barely 25, alarm bells should most definitely be ringing!
See if the internet can verify that this person is real Do an online search for the person. What returns do you get? Do the things you read match up with their claims? For example, does their Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. account say what you expected?

Online Dating Tips
Forget about pursuing the relationship if you're asked for money.
Just stay away if there are any signs of scams Even if you manage to identify a scammer earlier rather than later, never confront them. Even if you're baiting them for fun, however tempting it may be to expose them and ridicule them for being so unconvincing, all they will do is change their email account, their photos, and their profiles, and carry on as before, possibly with more success. Just cease communicating with them, block their emails, and don't take their phone calls, just as you would a threatening or abusive ex-partner.
The standard reason someone asks for money online from someone they don't know is that they're out to scam you. This should immediately cause you to be concerned about the genuineness of the other person.

Engaging in Conversation Consider the speed with which the other person professes to love/want/ need/desire you
Really listen to the questions they ask of you What kind of questions are you being asked? This is a common mistake made by so many but in reality, what does it matter what kind of money you earn or the value of your house? Of course, many scam artists will not be so obvious, but it can happen and does on a regular basis so if the conversation starts to steer towards finances, it might be time to close the account!
Scam artists commonly try to shift the relationship into intimacy really quickly, because they want things to get moving (namely, your money and assets).Be extremely wary of anyone who tells you they love you and want to take things off the dating website to private IM, email, the phone, etc. within a very short time.
Keep personal data to yourself Until you meet this person for real, keep things superficial and pleasant. There is no need to passing on intimate details of your life and there is no way in the world this person you've yet to meet needs your social security or bank account numbers. Also, be aware that the more you reveal about yourself, the more leverage you give a scam artist to pinpoint a weak spot that they may try to manipulate you with.

Meeting the Person Plan a meet up
Consider keeping your online dating local
No matter how much you think you have in common with the potential partner you are talking to, remember that it is very easy to be a completely different person online than in real life. If you agree to meet up, do so during the day in a public place and if you are talking to a person from another country and they ask you to pay for their travel ticket or Visa – ask yourself why!
It is much easier to be scammed when the person lives thousands of miles from you or is oceans away. Local people are more likely to be genuinely looking for connection and it'll be easier to verify their intent than with someone who lives far away. Moreover, scam artists like to hide behind distance.
