Here are my tips and guidelines to make your online Dating experience safer and making it safer makes it all the more enjoyable. Let's face it meeting strangers at the pub or in clubs isn't any different to online dating.... Online dating has advantages you can talk to people before you meet and get to know someone a little.

In your journey looking for Mr or Miss Right or even just right now for an exciting adventure sexual or not there are a few things to consider, Meeting real people can be a tingle experience but also a potential dangerous one. so here we go my personal tips remember they are no guarantee.

• Tell someone where and with whom you are hooking up
• Meet in a public place
• Do not get picked up from home
• Don't give anyone you home number
• Ladies pay for dinner / movies whatever yourself (Some men expect things if they pay, can lead to bad or awkward situations)
• If you can use your own ride to get to the date
• Have your Mobile phone with you
• Not everyone tells the truth so be aware being religious does not make someone safe.....
• Listen to your own intuition (i.e If someone is pushy leave it)
• Don't do anything you are not comfortable with
• To stop stalkers don't tell people where you work or live
• If a user is persistent or abusive report them or block them.
• Do not rush things if it is not for a secret adventure take your time to get to know someone ( use our instant messenger )

sounds like a lot to remember and takes the fun out of it but you do want to have a good time. here are a few more small tips

• Text a friend while on your date to tell them.
• If the person only has one photo up ask to see more (You can get a good idea of a person from their photos)
• Look at their friends list ( ask their friends )
• Go to our forums to see if anyone else has dated the person you intend to see.

Well most of these things can be applied to any dating situation be it online or not is all just common sense, thing about common sense is that is not all that common. Most people on i-Voo-Doo are here for the exact same reason you are so all will be fun but remember to stay alert and keep your calm don't be shy and have a great time.

Cheers i-Voo-Doo
