Online Dating Etiquette: Dos and don'ts
Other do's and don'ts of cyberdating to keep in
mind include the following:
- DON'T reveal too much about yourself until you know the person better, as you
would if you met in person.
- DO be wary of "lurkers" (unless
you're in a private chat room). These are people who read along during a
discussion without contributing.
- DO be wary of life stories that are too
fantastic, glamorous, or dramatic, These people are likely lying.
- DON'T use your real name, phone number, or other information that could
identify you until you know the person for several months or completely feel
that this is a person your can trust. If you do make phone contact, use a phone
as work rather than your home number, or even call from a local phone booth (as
super-cautious as this sounds, it is a real protection).
