Online dating can be a fun and certainly a rewarding experience for women of all ages. Maintaining your safety while doing it is simply a combination of using common sense and exercising good judgment. Online safety rules are the same as real world safety rules.

You wouldn’t give your name, address and phone number to a strange man that you met in a bar or on the street so you should never do that online either. Play it safe. Get to know this man who could turn out to be Prince Charming before you give out any information that could make it possible for him or others to trace you. Don’t tell a stranger exactly where you work. Say that you are a legal secretary (if that’s what you are) for a mid-sized law firm.not that you work for Brown, Smith and Jones Attorneys-at-law. It is safe to tell him what city you live in but you should wait to be any more specific than that until you have been chatting and exchanging emails for awhile.

Use only the tools provided by the dating service you belong to. Most offer chat and private email on their site. Do not give out your isp email address. If you must give out an email address make it a free one such as Hotmail or Yahoo. Your isp address is traceable for anyone who wants to go to the trouble.

When the time comes for you to have your first face-to-face, make that first meeting in a public place and during day light hours. Take a friend with you or arrange for one to call you on your cell soon after the arranged meeting.

Rememberyou ARE in control so do not let anyone pressure you into revealing more personal information than you are comfortable with revealing.

With the explosion of online dating sites has come a virtual smorgasbord of choices. There are free sites I don’t recommend those but if money is a real concern, they are better than nothing. There are the large paid sites with many and varied features like chat, IM and even matching using profiles. There are the less expensive paid sites with few features. There are special interest sites for almost any thing you can think of…outdoor enthusiasts, couch potatoes, religious, non-religious, gays, lesbianslike I saidalmost anything you can think of. So what’s a girl to do? A girl should choose the site or sites that best fit her needs.

Here are some things to consider:

(1) Cost. How much do you want or how much can you spend each month for your membership (s)? (2) Features. Which features are the most important to you? (A) Profile matching systems. Is this a feature you really want or would you rather decide who is right for you all by yourself? (B) Chat and IM’s? There are websites who offer chat rooms and IM’s on their sites. Does that matter or would you be happy just sticking to private email. (C) Outside Eventssuch as speed dating? Are you interested in that? (D) Privacy. Some websites allow you to limit who can view your picture or your profile. Does this matter to you or do you want as wide exposure as you can have? (E) Safety. There are websites who do background checks of all subscribers and certify their age, marital status and background. Would you feel safer using this feature?

These are a few things but not all things you should consider when choosing an online dating service or services. Do your homework and choose wisely for the best results for you.

Let’s just face it, we’re all human, we all need and want love in our lives. But only very few of us look like the celebrities we see every day in the media, like these women who seem to be able to wrap any man around their fingers! But not all of us look like those gorgeous skinny models or actresses who seem to live perfect lives, and get all the men they desire!

Some of you might have a few extra pounds, be too tall, too short, too skinny, have too many kids, or too whatever else! For that reason, you might think that no man will look at you twice, and that you will never meet the man of your dreams. All the magazines we read, and all the movies we see, just make us feel inferior to all the beautiful people. We fear that if we aren’t perfect like them, nobody will ever want us.

It’s time to turn off the TV and throw away all those fancy magazines that tell you how you need to look, if you ever want to have the chance to meet Mr. Right! You don’t need an extreme makeover, and you don’t need to lose 10 pounds to be sexy enough to make a man want you!

You already are an attractive woman! Maybe you just need a little kick in your butt, and get some guidance on how to peel off your layers of insecurity towards men and relationships. You too, just like any other woman deserve to get any man you want!

You will need to change your way of thinking, and get a new perspective, a new way to look at relationships. You also have to understand exactly where you failed in the past, and what you need to change, so you will never make the same mistakes with men ever again.

Do YOU too want to become the self confident woman who knows how to be irresistible to any guy she wants?
