Online Dating Etiquette
Online dating has its own set of rules to navigate.  It allows you to get to know someone through emails for a while before meeting face to face.  Here are some points to consider:
1.    Stay safe. Never provide your address or phone details. Set up a separate email address for your online dating.
2.    Be honest about yourself.  If you are sincere in your search for a mate, it will show in your emails and profile.
3.    Always be polite. Remember your manners.  You may not have a face to the name but these are still people with feelings.
4.    End the relationship politely whether you have met or not. It is considered okay to end a casual relationship via email but if you have actually dated for a while, give them the courtesy of a call.
5.    Use a reputable dating site that makes you feel comfortable and safe.  You need to know your details will be protected and that bad behaviour will not be tolerated.
6.    Use a respectable online name.  It might be tempting to call yourself ‘Hottotrot’ but if you are looking for a decent man, don’t have a callsign that is likely to attract men who are only interested in your physical attributes.
7.     Put a recent flattering photo of you up.  You don’t want your date to feel deceived by how different you look from your photo.
8.    Keep emails light and fun. This is not the place to reveal personal details about yourself.  If you feel that you have a connection, get on the phone.
