TIPS: How can you make "cyberdating" a safer and more rewarding experience?

• Be careful in telling your identity
  For a few of us, we don't easily reveal our true identity. But there are some others who are naively give out their phone numbers, address and other personal information. It is best for you to protect your identity when you are chatting online.
  
  
• Not everything you read is true
  We always heard "It's too good to be true". Almost every chatter in chat rooms tells only good and great stories about them. These stories may be true and they may also not be true. This is so very common as you want to give others the best first impression on yourself. Therefore, we are unlikely to tell the truth about ourselves.
  
  
• Take it slow
  After you chat online with someone, you are more likely to feel that you've known the other person like forever. This will create false sense of foundation, which often brings to heartbreaking consequences. In getting to know the other person, it is advisable to take your own time by taking it slow.

Cyberdating has become increasingly popular these days. It is one way for people to form new friendship with other people around the world. Though without precautions, this form of meeting and getting to know new people may get dangerous. Be aware of the possible risks and be extra careful when you want to chat online.
