Online dating offers a chance to meet many people. Looking for a person’s attributes, contacts, references can limit problems caused by misuse but all the details given on net cannot be true. If a person appears very special, one must pay little more attention on the person’s personal details. Women have to be diligent about exposing their whereabouts and contact details. Telephone calls and photos can always speak about a person’s social skills and personality. But photos also pose risk as there is no authenticity that it belongs to the same person. A first meeting must be arranged only after the authenticity of the person is verified. While setting up an account in an online dating service, personal information like mail addresses, contact numbers, family details and account numbers should be avoided while using the net. Use discretion, if it is necessary to reveal them. Persons who provide inconsistent information on age, interests, employment, and marital status and are dominant must be avoided. It’s important to ensure that all the queries are answered by a prospective partner.

Flaming and the consequences of flaming can be avoided by not responding to them, however provocative they are.
