1)Trust Your Insticts :
If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't, so trust your gut. Be cautious and pay attention to your intuition.

2)Keep personal information private:
Never give strangers you meet online your entire name, address, phone number, or any other private information. When using a pseudonym, please.

3)Meet in Public :
First in-person meeting must always take place in a public place, such as a park or coffee shop. Till you know someone better, refrain from inviting them to your home or going to theirs.

4)Inform someone:
Tell a friend or family member where, when, and who you'll be travelling with. Give them information on the person you're meeting, such as their name, contact information, and any other details you may have.

5)Self-drive:
If at all feasible, take your own vehicle to the initial meeting. In this manner, you have the option to leave if you feel uncomfortable or if events don't turn out as expected.

6)Recognize warning signs:
Be cautious of those who demand payment, offer justifications for not meeting in person, or tell contradictory tales.

7)Use secure communication:
To connect with people you meet online, use secure and encrypted messaging or video chat services, such as Signal or WhatsApp.

8)Research The Person:
Do some background research on the person to determine whether their name and profile details correspond to what they have told you and to look for any warning signs.

You can make sure that your online dating experience is secure and pleasurable by paying attention to these pointers and exercising common sense.
