Deanna Frazier, Attraction Expert

2. Even if you're sure you've met your soul mate on-line, do remember that the people you meet on-line are in fact strangers.
3. Don't believe everything you read.
4. It's easy to be fooled, misguided and lied to on-line.
5. Always have in the back of your mind that the person you are chatting with may not be who they say they are.
6. Guard your personal information.
7. Don't give out your address, location, home phone, sock size or anything else until you are truly comfortable.
8. Never respond to crude, obscene mail.
9. Change your screen name if you start to get a lot of crude mail.
10. Report obscene mail.
11. Don't be naïve - married people go on the Internet prowl.
12. Flirting with a married man or women on the net is not a harmless flirtation. People do get hurt.
13. Cyber life is very fast so you must move very slowly.
14. Just as with real people, there is a price to pay for moving too quickly.
15. Online dating is nothing more than a new way to make an introduction.
16. Make only smart moves and avoid the dumb ones in order to keep yourself on the path to love.
