The Club for millionaire and wealthy people

Meeting people online can be dangerous...unless you know how to play it safe.

Internet dating services are some of the biggest online businesses today, with millions of men and women around the country using the sites to create profiles which include pictures, biographical information, information on personal tastes, and contact info.

The websites do make it easy to "search" for a match based on these profiles. However, pictures can be misleading, and none of these services conduct any background checks to verify the information provided by their subscribers or check for a criminal record.

In the wake of the Craigslist killer arrest--both of them--the safety of relationships started online is coming under a lot of scrutiny.

In the meantime, online dating services continue to thrive. Here are some tips on how to safely use online dating services and what to watch out for when making a date:

(1) Never post personal contact information on your profile.

Most of the initial contact on the major internet dating service websites is anonymous. The e-mail is sent through a network that is set up by the company, and even telephone numbers can be blocked by the company's call service. If you are on a site where it is possible to post personal contact information on your profile, don't. You don't want everyone to know where to find you; just the person you want to date.

(2) Remain anonymous until you feel like you want to reveal your name.

The major dating service websites have their subscribers use "usernames" on their profiles instead of their real names. This is also for your safety. Don't feel like you have to tell the other person your name right away. You can sign your e-mail "Dallaschic09" for as long as you want. (On that note, don't pick an overly sexy name. It has been proven that people with usernames with obvious sexual overtones attract lots of unwanted attention.)

(3) Call the person before you meet them.

You can tell a lot about a person over the phone that you can't tell over the internet. Call them through the service provided by the internet dating company, so that your phone number remains blocked.

(4) Meet in a public place during the day.

Do not meet at a hotel room, at your house or at the other person's house on the first date. This may sound obvious, but if you read the news, evidently it's not. Do not arrange for the person to pick you up at your house on the first date. Meet for coffee or lunch instead of for a beer or dinner. And -

(5) Tell a friend you are going to meet this person.

Make sure that someone knows that you are going on your date with "UofOfan27." Tell your friend where you are going, about how long you think the date will last, and make sure to have your phone with you.

Most importantly: trust your gut. If something seems off, it's time to go. Don't worry about hurting feelings or bruising egos. If you are not comfortable with the person, they seem creepy, or just "not right," date's over.

Do you feel lost when it comes to attracting women? Learning how to seduce women doesn't have to be a mystery. By following these tips, you will be able to get instant attraction from any woman you meet:

1) Don't show a lot of interest: trying too hard will make you come across as desperate or a stalker and will cause her fear instead of attraction.

2) Show confidence: to make her believe in you, you must first believe in yourself. Women like strong and self-confident men. Always stay cool and show her that you are hot afraid of rejection.

3) Don't be arrogant: women don't like insensitive men who only care about themselves. Show her that you are kind and caring and feel genuinely interested at her.

4) Listen: being a good listener is a very attractive trait. During conversation look into the eyes of the girl you are trying to seduce and give her the impression that you are very interested at what she has to say.

5) Use eye contact: smile at her and gaze deeply into her eyes. This creates sexual tension and make her feel that you are genuinely interested at her.

6) Use humor to seduce her: if you get her to laugh she will feel more relaxed and more open to you. Give the impression of a humorous and cheerful guy, someone she can have fun with.

7) Look good: you don't have to dress like a male model, but make sure you are classy and well-groomed. Also be careful of bad breath and bad body odor.

8) Be a good communicator: talk to her about meaningful things in a smooth and low tone. Girls are drawn towards intelligent men with a great personality.

 

Considering trying an online dating service? Singles, chat rooms, dating tips.

If you have not tried online dating as yet then its not easy to know how to begin. A lot of singles we spoke to have indicated that the hardest component is write your online dating profile. Altering from the truth can be a simple option to use in your dating profile, rather than what you might determine the reader wants to read. You should try to be up front with your online dating profile in any case, the majority of other online daters who are on the internet will have particular things about themselves they also don't like. Honesty will get you there in the end and most potential online dates will appreciate this when you see them in person. Try not to short-change yourself. Don't lower your standards if you're lonely, have just split up with someone or just feeling down in general. Patience, a game plan and being truthful will see you succeed when engaging online dating services.

Weigh up your past relationship. Think about what you liked and didn't like, also stick to what you believe in. If certain issues bothered you with your previous partner eg: they smoked inside or used offensive words, don't accept it from a new romantic interest hoping that their better features will overcome these issues that deep down really upset you.

Something that's important and quite common we think of doing while looking for potential online dates is to ask questions, but probe gently, carefully and cautiously regarding their past. What they like or don't like, what they want out of a new romantic relationship etc. Move slowly it's not hard to move ahead of yourself in the whirlwind of a new potential love interest, especially if your keen to progress to the next level. Also, ask to view pictures of the person in their everyday lives. Looks shouldn't be the most important aspect, although the reality is that you want to make sure that all of the boxes are ticked to avoid disappointed when you meet face to face.

A single friend of mine met a guy once through an internet dating site - travelled three hours by bus and train. When she laid eyes her online dating friend at the destination she was shocked by the noticeable difference between his profile and real life appearance and as a result has been put off by online dating and chat rooms. The profile shots were not current and had been taken in a photography studio. The reality of the profile and real appearance were totally different. This is the most common way to fail at online dating. Even though face to face my friend was not attracted to her online dating friend, someone else probably could have been, so by not being honest in his profile both people could have been using this wasted time getting to know other people.

Many of us look different to everyone else. It will not mean that we all look gorgeous to everyone. Chemistry plays a big part, so be sure that you have this in check prior to meeting up, or at the least a foundation to work from. Don't always meet up after your first online chat, exercise patience to avoid disappointment. It's a bonus if you both have things in common. You should try to avoid spending your time convincing a potential date that marriage and having kids is what they should be aiming for. You could both get resentful over time. So be honest from the beginning, then you can be sure to have a more successful and happier online dating and chat experience. Don't forget one last important factor, when you've found the right person and you start a new romance, cancel your membership. Exchanging secret emails from other singles is no way to start a new beginning.

the following article lists some simple, informative tips that will help you enjoy a better experience with online dating.

Long hours at work with even longer hours in traffic leave most of us with almost no social life and therefore no way to date anymore. Due to the fact that everything is done online today, it is with little surprise that online dating is so popular. However, online dating can be very dangerous as well and we need to ensure our safety before we venture out on a real time date with an online friend. Here are a few online dating safety tips, which will hopefully be helpful to you.

Safety First

On the internet, you can be whoever you want and it is not only the looks that you can forge but also the background, qualifications, age and marital status. It is very hard to be sure that anyone is telling the truth online simply because they don't have to; for most it is another reality which they create in order to escape from the present one.

Don't rush a meeting with someone online; take your time to know him or her as much as possible; the longer you spend online the harder it will get for him or her to maintain a fake identity. Request a recent photo and ask for credentials as well as ask him or her if you can verify the same. Some dating sites created many verification systems to help users identify the identity of other members. On wealthychats.com, users can verify photo, age, income, education and occupation, etc. You will feel more secure if your date has a verified photo and income.

If you have decided to meet your date face to face, always meet in a public place for coffee or lunch as opposed to a late night dinner. Another online dating safety tip, which will help you is to let your family or a close friend know that you are going on this date and ensure that they will check on you to make sure you are all right. Carry a mobile phone with you and make sure it is charged.

Is everything making sense so far? If not, I'm sure that with just a little more reading, all the facts will fall into place.

Other Online Dating Safety Tips

Do not take your date back to your place on the first date and even on the next few others if you don't feel fully comfortable with the same. Spend time learning about one another and find out basic things that you can check to ensure if he or she is telling the truth.

The best online safety dating tip in order not to get hurt in the process is to try and know the person first before you jump in to a relationship. Remember you don't want your heart broken or worse you don't want to get hurt in any way so it is best to take the relationship slow until you know as many details as possible about the person that will make you comfortable with him or her.

If you are dating through an agency read their online safety dating tips and ensure that they provide you with all details possible. Nevertheless, take your own precautions because they can not assume all the responsibility for your safety on the date.

Now you can be a confident expert on a dating. OK, maybe not an expert. But you should have something to bring to the table next time you join a discussion on a dating.

This weekend I had a conversation with two good friends of mine who are married and have been with their husbands for five-plus years. They were peppering me with questions about my oh-so-exciting dating life, and I mentioned that all the dinners and drinks were getting expensive. "Wait, what do you mean?" they asked. "Aren't the guys paying?"

"Oh, no," I responded. "Men don't seem to be doing that anymore. Every date I've gone on, the check has been split." They were aghast. What had happened to the tradition of men paying for dates since they were single? Was it the economy? Were men cheaper? Women more insistent on paying their share?

I'm a modern woman. I don't think it's fair for a guy to always pick up the check, especially if the date was initiated by the woman. I don't think feminism is about picking and choosing which traditions benefit you. If you want equal pay for equal work, you'd better be OK with paying your half of the check some of the time. Who pays has become complicated by online dating, where two people mutually seek out each other. Catherine has done her share of online dating and found herself splitting the check or switching off paying for rounds. The latter seems preferable.

The economy does come into play. On my date with Mr. Plaid Glasses—who had said he was planning on wooing me—he told me he worked as a student teacher (for no money) and then in administration at a hospital (for a little bit of money). When the check came, I reached for my wallet, half-expecting him to say, "I've got it." But he didn't. I threw down my credit card and took the cash he put down, which added up to less than half, because he didn't have as many drinks as I did. Is it shallow to say the first step in wooing is picking up the check for the dinner date you asked me out on? Because I knew he was hard up financially, I would have felt kind of guilty having him pay for the whole shebang, but I don't think he should have made a stink about wooing me. I might have brought cash, instead.

The Doodler and I split the check entirely, which was fair, as we were set up by a mutual friend. Of course, going dutch might have been the first indication that he had no interest in seeing me again. Chicken Parm has taken me out a few times, and made me dinner too, but, frankly, I've done the later infinitely more and buying groceries for two gets expensive. It's not that I think two people who are dating should keep a balance sheet of who has paid for what, but if you're going to go dutch most of the time, or trade off who pays, at least try and keep it even. But how do you say to someone, "It's your turn to buy the whole chicken if I'm going to roast it"?

After I had recounted all these various scenarios to my married friends, they called over their husbands and told them that I was paying for my own dinner and drinks on dates. "Are you serious?" they both said. "That's crazy! I would always pay the check, especially on a first date," said one. "I would never have the balls not to," said the other. This was regardless of how they met the woman or how broke they were. For them, paying the check, especially early on in a dating relationship, was their responsibility, and they were happy to do it. So, what's changed? Perhaps we'll find out tomorrow, when I ask the guys on my IM. Stay tuned!
