Is online dating safe or not? People give me your views on this one

Joining in on the forums here would be a safer way to start.

I just started, so far I am only scared....

Would do so definitly, thanx

Sure. Just carry some mace :) Since I'm rather tall I can pretty much clobber anyone that gets out of hand.

I think yes, that could show for a person how much the other respect the time and being so close in a spiritual way which would drive each other to know and believe that they are only separated physically and that's not an obstacle of course if there is a sacrifice to across and be in real to discover and learn more about each others!

On line dating is very safe but needs alot of intelligence

There are a LOT of fake people trying to scam. It seems very common to all the dating websites. I would google online dating scams and learn to spot them.

Some of the things I've noticed:

Fakes from outside of the USA use European or South African language (english) with words such as holiday, poor use of past/present tense and plural, similar scripted introduction.

Fakes from inside the USA generally pose for men as women way under the stated age and use pictures of very attractive women. For me it's women who are in the 20's when I specifically state otherwise.

The scams usually try to obtain personal information from their targets while offering nothing or things that are not verifiable. When asked specific questions they respond with vague answers or do not address the question. For example, they will give a fake name or email address that has no social media trace. I use Spokeo.com to look up emails, phone numbers, addresses, and names. Ask them where they went to high school and they will never answer that question. Ask them when they graduated or what they studied and they will return with something odd. They can tell when their target is suspicious because they won't call on you again.

The scam artists will be very complimentary and profess their intense attraction or even love for you. Eventually after a time, they will express a desire to meet when they think they've gained your confidence. They will always be far away and ask for money to obtain transportation or suddenly ask for money when their narrative has run its course. For example, they might start the script by saying they're a caregiver or having a hard time because of something that happened to them. Eventually they will ask for money.

Red flags would be if they offer you their phone numbers and ask you to text them right away, even the first time. Pay attention to the style of writing too. Sometimes it's more than one person working the same con.
