Meet Offline, Think Safty First - from Match.com

A first meeting with any new love interest can be exciting - and most first meetings are perfectly safe, but it's always smart to take basic precautions. Trust your instincts. And be sure to keep the following guidelines in mind:

• DO meet in public.
  On first meetings, ALWAYS arrange to rendezvous in a populated, public place. Never meet in a private home (or in a hotel room) or in a remote location.
• DO tell a friend.
  Tell at least one friend or family member who you are meeting, where you are going and when you expect to return. Let your date know your meeting is not a secret.
• Tip: Contact your friend before and after the date or ask your friend to contact you at a predetermined time.
• DO stay sober.
  Refrain from drinking excessively, as it could impair your ability to make good decisions and may put you at risk.
• Tip: Stick to nonalcoholic drinks when meeting someone for the first time.
• DON'T leave home without your cell.
  If you have a mobile phone, take it with you on dates. Most cell phones are can be used to call 911.
• Tip: Make sure 911 services are available in your area. If not, know your emergency number.
• DON'T ask the other person to pick you up.
  Get yourself to and from the date, even if you have to have a friend to drive you or take a taxi.
• DON'T leave personal belongings or drinks unattended.
  Don't risk having your personal information stolen. The same goes for your drink - don't risk having it tampered with.
• Tip: If you must leave your drink unattended to go to the restroom, order another drink when you return.
• DON'T succumb to the temptation to take first dates to your home (or go to his or her home).
  Stay in a public place, even if you are pressured. If you feel pressured, end the meeting and leave at once.
• Tip: If you are followed to where you parked your car, stop and hail a taxi or go into another public place to use the telephone to phone a friend. Come back later with your friend to get your car.
• DO set up a next date, if you are ready and feel comfortable.
  And DO remember to follow all of these tips on subsequent meetings, until you feel confident with your new friend. If the other person is sincerely interested in you, he or she will want you to feel safe.

Long Distance Meetings, 6 Sensible Safety Suggestions -from Match.com

We've come a long way, baby - literally. Fifty years ago, the idea of "courting" someone who lived in the next town over (much less across the globe) was pretty much unheard of. Today, technology has made a mud puddle out of an ocean. But, while they may be increasingly common occurrences, long-distance first meetings pose special concerns. Always keep safety at the forefront and bear in mind the following tips:

• DO stay in a hotel.
  If you can't afford it, don't go. NEVER stay at the other person's home on your first visit.
• DO use taxis to get to and from the airport.
  If the other person wants to greet you at the airport - great! It shows interest and it's polite. But DO NOT get into a personal vehicle with someone you are meeting for the first time.
• Tip: Arrange a public rendezvous location and time, then take a taxi - alone - to your hotel.
• DO keep your hotel location private.
  Until you are completely certain of the a person's intentions, don't tell them exactly where you're staying.
• Tip: To keep from disclosing your location on caller ID, contact your date on your cell en route to your rendezvous.
• DO keep valuables in the hotel or room safe.
  Don't take them or wear them on your date.
• DON'T forget to keep family and friends posted.
  Always tell someone who you are meeting, where you are going and when you plan to return.
• Tip: Let your date know that your whereabouts are not a secret to your friends and family.

Purely Pratical Tips For Dating Online And Offline - from Match.com

Whether you're off on your first blind date set up by a friend or you've found your love interest on Match.com, your personal safety should remain priority #1. We've compiled a list of guidelines to help you stay safe.

• DO guard your identity
  Even in person, you wouldn't give your number out to just anyone. Don't share your real name, personal phone numbers, place of work, home address or any other identifying information while chatting or emailing until you are comfortable doing so.
• Tip: Never post personal contact information in your Portrait. Don't risk having this information fall into the wrong hands.
• DO remain anonymous until you feel safe and ready to explore other options.
  Match.com gives you control over your online dating experience, and allows you to protect your true identity until you choose to reveal it.
• Example: Sometimes, instead of asking for information, a person simply provides his or her phone number early in the email exchange. That doesn't obligate you to use it. You might say something like, "I'm more comfortable just exchanging email for the time being."
• DO use a third-party, anonymous email address.
  Match.com uses a "doubleblind" emailing system that conceals true email addresses. Even so, hackers can breach nearly any technology. As an added safety measure, set up a third-party email address expressly for dating purposes and forward your Match.com emails there instead of to your personal email box. Make sure you turn off any signatures or identifying information in your e-mail.
• Tip: Consider using a P.O. Box for snail mail.
• DO be careful when using a sexy name.
  Keep in mind that, while using sexual connotations in your email address or username might get you noticed, it probably won't attract the type of person you'd like to share a relationship with-or even a conversation for that matter.
• Tip: Don't include your real name or city of residence within your email address or in your username.
• DO use a current picture and be truthful in your description of yourself in your Match.com profile.
  Misleading descriptions or photos can result in angry feelings and can end a relationship before it begins. In the long run, honesty is your best relationship tool.
• DO trust your gut.
  Immediately quit corresponding when you feel unsure or threatened.
• DO block abusers.
  Match.com STRONGLY encourages you to block any member who behaves in an abusive manner and to report the behavior to Match.com.

Examples of abuse include:

    * Married people or minors using the service
    * Members sending harassing or offensive emails
    * Members behaving inappropriately after meeting in person
    * Criminals or other "shady" characters using the service
    * Fraudulent registration or Portraits
    * Spam or solicitation*
    * Copyright infringement
    * Members asking you for money or donations
    * Any other violation of Match.com's policies

*Solicitation is an offer to sell something to someone. Our Terms of Use strictly prohibit the use of the site service for the purposes of solicitation. Please notify Match.com immediately if another member sends you links to pay-to-view porn sites or includes instructions on how to call a 1-900 telephone number. Additionally, report abuse in the form of invitations to join other singles' sites, emails about modeling opportunities or attempts to sell merchandise or services.

Red Flag: 5 Things You Might Want To Steer Clear - from Match.com

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Your mom was right on target with this bit of advice. Remember that, when it comes to your personal safety, it's not only OK to snoop, it's your duty. Here are a few additional guidelines:

• DO listen to your gut.
  If the other person can only meet or talk to you at odd hours, they may be keeping a secret. If that person cannot be honest with you from the start, you cannot count on them to be forthright in the future.
• Example: If you talk on the phone and a person speaks in hushed tones or "has to go" all of a sudden, they may not be as single as they claim to be.
• DO get as many details as possible about the other person BEFORE meeting off-line.
  Don't forget to share some of those details with a friend or family member.
• DO a little digging
  Because privacy is of the highest importance at Match.com, we do not require our members to submit to background checks. We do, however, encourage members to do their own research on potential love matches including asking questions, utilizing Internet search engines (try www.ask.com) and most importantly, use common sense. You can also ask your date to submit to a background check, but be careful—a background check is only as good as the information that is provided to the background checker. So if you're not POSITIVE your date has given you the correct information, you can't rely on the background check results.
• DO be wary of someone who is vague, talks in circles or answers questions with other questions.
  Some people ARE very private, but if you're about to take your relationship to the next level, this isn't the time for reservation.
• DO proceed with caution if someone pledges undying love after a first meeting - or even after several conversations online.
  Lust at first sight is alive and well, but love is, generally, an acquired feeling.
• DON'T let love rob you blind.
  Beware of someone who mentions how broke he or she is. Also be cautious if he claims he "just got laid off from work," or that her financial adviser "scammed her out of all her money."

 Successful Single Parents Business Owner Stories

Three Critical Success Traits Shared By "Mom & Pop" Type Web Sites That Are Earning $100,000 to $600,000 Every Year Recently, I became a member of this new private web site, SecretsToTheirSuccess.com, that shares the Internet marketing secrets of real people, just like you and me, who are earning $100,000+ per year with their own Internet businesses. Just to give you some background, I'll tell you that every month, this site shares two new real-life stories of successful "Mom & Pop" type sites, providing in-depth interviews with the site owners and asking really tough questions about the exact steps, strategies, tools, and software that these people have used to build and grow their sites to their current success. For example, two success stories that I just finished checking out are: Real-Life Case Study #1 — Robert Clark See exactly how Robert Clark turned his $275 a week paycheck into a highly profitable online business that takes him only 2 hours each day to run... while earning him over $250,000 a year in profits! Real-Life Case Study #2 — Ken Calhoun Ken grossed over $98,000 in sales with his Internet business in 2000 (his first full year online) and then tripled his sales to earn over $300,000 last year — almost all of it profit, all from his beachfront condo in Hawaii. ... as well as many other "real people" just like you and me who are creating a fortune on the Internet! If you'd like to check out these success stories for yourself right now, and personally discover these "No BS" examples of real people making real money on the Internet, then click here now to get the exact step-by-step details of how they're doing it! Obviously, reading these interviews is a really powerful way to guarantee the success of your own web site, because you're getting a personal insider's tour of real sites, run by real people, that are making real money! Anyway, as I was reading through the latest success stories, I couldn't help but notice that, despite dramatic differences in the business models they use and the products and services they sell, these successful web site owners all share three common "success traits" that played a major role in growing their online sales to $100,000 to $600,000 a year... Success Trait #1: First of all, one of the reason's why they're sooooo successful NOW is because they didn't let their lack of knowledge stop them. Despite the fact that many of them had no computer experience, never mind experience using the Internet -- and despite the fact that many had never owned a business before -- they just plain got started and didn't worry about making everything "perfect" the first time. Remember, I'm not talking about rocket-scientists here. These are regular people, like you and me, who started running their web sites out of their own homes and are now making $100,000 to $600,000 a year with their sites. And believe it or not, almost all of them were making a profit from day-one! Sure, they weren't all making buckets of cash right away; but their profits increased quickly as they continued to improve on what they started with. Success Trait #2: I've already mentioned that these successful web site owners didn't worry about making everything "perfect" right away. And this is important, because rather than overload themselves by trying to become Internet marketing gurus BEFORE they got started, they just dove in and focused on one marketing strategy at a time, working extremely hard to maximize their profits with one strategy before moving onto the next. This is a trait that really amazed me because even though these successful web site owners are earning substantial incomes from their web sites, they ALL talk about how they plan to snowball their profits and sales even more by strategically adding another strategy... and another strategy... and another strategy... to their web sites, one at a time. Success Trait #3: Interestingly, the one point that kept coming up again and again, sometimes two or three times in a single interview, was that all of these successful site owners confess they could have been earning a MUCH bigger income MUCH faster had they only avoided the costly mistakes started educating themselves sooner. And that's probably the most critical trait these success stories share -- they've all committed to educating themselves about the most profitable marketing strategies and techniques. In fact, I could literally go on for pages and pages reeling off the hundreds of invaluable marketing strategies, techniques, tools, and software recommendations that these people share in their interviews, based on their own real-life experiences and commitment to educating themselves. However, I know it will mean much more when you hear, straight from the horse's mouth, these... "No BS" Examples Of Real People Making Real Money on the Internet...

Real-Life Case Study #3 — Andy Bryant Andy's site is generating an impressive $50,000 in sales per month... and even Andy's a bit surprised to discover that his $600,000 a year online income is the result of his own self-proclaimed vain quest to reverse his own hairloss! Real-Life Case Study #4— Ellen Cagnassola Ellen is a work-at-home mom who produces homemade, personalized glycerin soaps. Discover the strategies she used to expand her offline business onto the Web, and how she gets big companies (like Johnson and Johnson) to distribute and sell her soaps for her... earning a hefty online income at the same time!
