Begin by just sending e-mails to each other and you will start to
build up a picture of what he is like. |
| ° |
Don't give out your surname, address, telephone number or other
identifying information until you feel sure about the person you are
in touch with. Apply some common sense. |
| ° |
Don't rush out and send out dozens of e-mails, choose carefully and
see what response you get. |
| ° |
Make sure you have a photo displayed alongside your profile, as
many people will only respond to ads with photos. You can e-mail your
photo to us - see "Place
ad" page. |

Eventually, perhaps arrange to talk on a mobile phone, which will
give you even more of an idea, what the person is like. |
| ° |
When you feel ready (and only then), you can arrange to meet in a
neutral area, public place, such as a bar or coffee shop and do tell a
friend what you are arranging. |
| ° |
Never let yourself be
pressurized into doing anything you
don't really want to. |
| ° |
If you are unhappy when you actually meet the person, have a
pre-thought out "get-out" excuse, to make your exit. |
| ° |
Be wary, until you have built up trust with someone, people can
pretend to be quite different on the internet, but they can't fool you
for ever. |

Now get on and
enjoy some fun !! |
