Since dating online is very popular and easier, a lot of people are really into and and participate. With so many singles out there, the possibilities are endless. But is it really safe for you to get personal with these people?

eHarmeny strongly encourage you to be cautious when sharing personal information that could reveal your identity. Take full advantage of our safe and completely anonymous guided communications process, and resist the urge to provide a personal e-mail or phone number right away, no matter how strong your connection to your match may feel. Once you've given out personal information, you cannot take it back!

Phoning with the other person is a critical requirement in getting to know each other better. But before you share phone numbers, make sure you have discussed the need to respect each other's privacy, and if either of you decide to end communication in the future, you will not use the phone number as a means to pursue an unwanted relationship. For added security, try using your phone's privacy features when you call, like private number blocking, or use a prepaid disposable cellular phone that is not linked to your personal identity. Consult your phone company to see if you have similar features available.
