Hey all
This is my first dating site experience but it didn t work so far , would anyone tell me how does it work ,, is it different from real life ,
All tips are welcome

the object of the game is to chat with someone that's not scamming u and go meet them in the real world. good luck play smart

If they ask for money or personal details tell the mods.

Tell them nothing.

I meet some scammer they looking for money by heart touchy story what should i do..?? They using innocent people & global controversy ..to make such stories mostly related to some disease,or Iraq Syria issues/// please suggest...

donate to your own charities. online keep your wallet in ur pocket if u get sweet on someone send flowers or candy or both.

You can't be scammed if you don't give them personal information or money. Just be smart, doesn't take much effort to weed out the scammers.And every dating site has them.

Best tip there is.....don't get on a dating site.... too late!

nice photos

Personally I look at any dating site the same way I look at in person life.
I am friendly open, and yet I am a bit cautious if it looks, sounds, or acts to good to be true it usually is.

On the internet way back I mean way back when I first joined. I was so naive I believed everything anyone told me. Back then there weren't as many cons. People didn't use fake pictures, they weren't out to part me with my wallet etc.

The worst we had to worry about was married looking for a little fun on the side.

The only tip I could give you is be who you are, be cautious and careful don't believe everything you see or hear til you get to know the person and that doesn't happen overnight or ever in a week.

Meet as soon as possible preferably in the first couple of weeks chatting if the connection is strong.

Always do a video chat with the person you are interested in meeting..

Most of that's sound but you aren't going to get a video chat or even a phone call from a lot of women because they're too nervous. They're scared enough about the actual meeting and would rather just leave it until then.

In this day and age...do people REALLY give money or info?

With all the media coverage about scammers...I don't feel as sorry for the "victims"

I do at certain times but honestly. it is fading each day..
With all the info out there. And most people that get taken in
IMO...
1. So desperate and lonely they will believe anything.. that is still on them.

2. GReed...is it sounds too go to be true chances are it is...

So sad...but then again it's out there. I get all of the manipulation and loneliness...but still

I thought the same thing, that how could you fall for such scams, but then watching Dr. Phil, he had a woman on it that fell for it for two years.

Lots of the pictures are fakes so i would recommend you use Skype and a webcam to verify if a potential partner is for real

A tip that I would give is to just not get enticed by anyone that says that they want to build a connection online first before meeting. This may seem like a rather cynical piece of advice because you've got to make them like you enough usually before they'll make a date but getting emotionally involved with someone that you only know on the internet can be a bad idea and not just because of scammers.

The LDR crowd have to do all of that connection building jazz and that's their thing but you really don't have to bother with time wasters if you're dating locally. There's just no reason to drag it out with endless aimless emails when you can find out if somebody that you're genuinely interested in is for you by just meeting them.

Alternatively, if you're worried that the person may be a psycho, then fanny them about for ages and keep refusing to make a date. If they get pissed off with that and finally lose their patience then you can tell yourself that you made a lucky escape there.

Then there was the "warning" going around on Facebook about the guy who had his wallet lifted by two attractive young (and "friendly") ladies he met at Walmart or someplace.
They scammed him again about a week later.

But on a more serious note, do be careful.

To the OP: How do you mean "it didn't work so far"? Are you just not finding matches, or not finding exactly what you want, or did you actually meet someone local to you but found no "chemistry"?

Some suggestions:
Post a photo. (Yeah, I know; pot, kettle, yada yada. I don't have any good recent ones. But I'll add one soon.)
You should keep active on the site. I think posting in Community helps with that, so you've taken a step already.
Do a search for new matches every day or two, since a new match (or matches) might have appeared very recently.
Don't expect miracles, but stay positive.

That's all for today's free advice.
