Safety Tips to Keep in Mind When Meeting People Online

1) Remember that you have complete control over who can contact you, so don't rush into releasing your personal contact information until you feel 100% comfortable. You will always have the option to block a member that you don't want to have further contact with.

2) Don't allow other members to pressure you into doing something you don't feel comfortable with. Proceed with each member at your own pace. Trust your instincts. Are the photos of this man or woman too good to be true? Are they stock photos taken off a model site on the Internet? Heed your suspicions and move cautiously. Always analyze if the person seems too good to be true before making any commitments to meet in person.

3) Always use common sense and good judgment. Don't meet anyone in a secluded place or invite him or her to your home the first few time you meet them. Get to know each person before you gain trust in him or her. Use all the same caution you would use if you had met the person offline.

4) Never include your personal contact information in your member profile section; it will be accessible to thousands of users at all times. Allow MatchedUp.com's Anonymous Identity feature give you the leverage you need to properly assess the person you are looking to meet.

5) Always request a photo. Even though you may have great conversations and it may seem as if the member is what you are looking for, be sure to request a photo to ensure that you are comfortable enough to move forward and meet the person offline.

6) Once it gets to the point of meeting a member offline, try to organize a first meeting occasion that includes other people as well. If group meetings don't suit your fancy, then meet the person in a public place, commute separately and always tell a family member or friend where you will be at all times.

7) Always look out for anything out of the ordinary. Ask a lot of questions to ensure that they have what you are looking for and be aware of any inconsistencies. Watch out for strange behavior, mood swings, extremely demanding nature, etc. If you feel intimated at any point, feel free to block the member from ever contacting you again through MatchedUp.com.

8) Always have an exit plan. If for any reason you would like to gracefully get out of a MatchedUp.com date, have a preset plan to ensure that you can leave safely. For example, maybe you are on a date that is sinking faster than the Titanic. In this instance, pre-arrange to have a friend call at an established time to check in and fake an emergency. Either way, plan it out first while you are thinking rationally and be sure that you are making the best decision.

9) You may meet your share of liars, imposters and strange people online, but you can find the same at any nightclubs, at work or even on a blind date. Meeting someone online anonymously will allow you to become more familiar and comfortable with a person before you spend your time alone with him or her.
