Do not include personal contact particulars like email, home address, telephone numbers or your last name, in your profile display. Such information may be given when you are comfortable with and know that the person you are communicating with is trustworthy. Even then only give information that you feel is necessary and are comfortable with giving.  

Keep away from people who pressure you for personal information or any other information that you don't want to reveal until later. Take your time and go at your own pace.

Create an email account
Create an email account just for online dating.

Watch out
With a number of profiles posted and created each day you may come across some profiles where the persons online portrayal may not be his/her true self. Keep a look out for strange behavior or inconsistencies that could help you judge such kind of portrayals. Keep away if your feel something is just not right. 

No obligation
The attractiveness of online meeting and communication is that it allows you to get to know more about the person at a pace suitable to both of you. You have no compulsion to meet the other person regardless of the amount of information exchanged.

Go offline only when comfortable
Keep in mind you don't need to take things further than online communication or at best telephone conversations till you feel really comfortable with the situation. 

Ask for photo/s
Photos can give you a good idea about the person and help you in judging the person further. It would be useful to view more photos of the person in different settings. At a subsequent phase seeing photos of his/her family members or friends would also help gain more insight. Keep in mind to request for more photos when the time is right. 

Chat on the phone
A conversation can tell you more about the person, his/her communication, social skills etc. Take care however to give your phone number only when you feel sure that you can trust the other person with it. Meantime you can use a public telephone or blocking features to prevent your number from appearing in Caller ID or reserve conversations on the phone to a later time. 

Choose a safe, public place to meet
When you decide to meet each other directly pick a safe, public place and provide your own transportation to and fro.

Inform your friend/s
Before going for your offline date/meeting remember to inform your friend/s or people who can keep a lookout for you about where you are going and when you can be expected back. Give them your dates contact particulars, name and other information you have.

During your meeting
Do not do anything you are uncomfortable with. If you feel there is something wrong or you are afraid to continue being with your date seek help immediately or thank the person and leave the place. Always keep in mind your safety is more important than the one persons or a few passersbys opinion of you.
