1. Use Common Sense, meaning that you should use practical judgment derived from experiences rather than study. Do not do things a reasonable person would not do. Ask questions, and make sure to check the answers.
2. Do Your Homework carefully and thoroughly; meaning do all the necessary research, and preparation, as well as checking all facts, and/or claims by others before any interaction. If you cant do this independently then hire a private investigator and/or check criminal records, many sites offer background checking services. However, keep in mind that some information may be concealed by law and/or other reasons, and you should not let down your guard because of a clean record, it could lead to a false sense of security. Always use good judgment and remember the adage, if its too good to be true then it probably isn't true. Only do what a reasonable person would do. And report any lewd behavior.
3. Research safety techniques for online safety, and offline safety, we recommend you do this locally at your public library, and by accessing popular search engines such as Google.com or Yahoo.com Research all potential dangers and all risks foreseeable and unforeseeable of interacting online and/or offline.
4. Be Aware and informed of the latest news, public announcements, and/or community news online and offline regarding safety. Review government crime trend reports, warnings, gather information to advance your knowledge of what to look out for. This could help you to avoid being conned, scammed, swindled, defrauded, and/or victimized in any way. Some dangers and/or threats to your safety are evolving, foreseen and unforeseen so you should prepare yourself for these evolving scenarios.

Follow our privacy policy contained on this site and be sure that you reveal your personal information intelligently and accordingly. Although our site promotes social networking, interacting, and dating our safety policy dictates how you should interact online and/or offline, if you want a 100% guarantee of safety then you should not be involved in any interaction with others period, much less be visiting this site.
