Online Dating Cautions

laptopOnline dating is an easy way to meet new people in our busy modern world but be aware.  There are many crazy stories telling of swindlers emptying the bank accounts of their new ‘online love’.

Here are a few red flags that should warrant your suspicion.

-  Pressure to move in together and get married.  Be careful of ulterior motives.

-  Request for help such as money, accommodation or unusual things such as organ donation.  You are out there to foster a relationship not provide charity.  Fixing the ‘bird with a broken wing’ is often dangerous and the relationship unsustainable.

-  Periods of intense interaction either online or offline followed by dropouts as if they have fallen off the face of the planet.  This can potentially be due to the fact they are cycling through other relationships or they may have a mental disorder such as bipolar afective disorder.

-  An intense desire or detest to meet your family and friends.  Are they on the line for a quick marriage or are they hiding something significant from you.

-  Early discussion of having children together.  Children are often used as a fast way to cement a relationship.  If you get intimate, make sure you use protection.  Pregnancy by accident or intention still requires you to pay child support.

Though this article has cast a slight shadow on the online dating experience there is no doubt that many have and will continue to find partners online.  Make sure that while you look for love online that you also look after yourself.  What about speed dating? Try it!


Happy dating!
