With So many online dating sites today, being sure of your safety and security is important to keep yourself away from harm. Here are some tips from dating reviews to help you through your online dating visits:

·  Be sure to utilize your trial period.   Make sure you see potential before paying!

·  Don't fall for the "it's cheaper to sign up for 6 months" than by the month.  We suggest paying a bit more per day and keeping your time commitment low.   Not to mention that your goal probably is to find a date sooner rather than later.  

·  Be sure to check your email settings on the dating site to turn off all the junk mail you'll otherwise get from them.  We're talking about special offers and promotions, not contact from other members.

·  Remember to keep your own safety in mind.   Be street wise and don't be too fast to believe what you read… be skeptical and never put yourself in a vulnerable position.

·  Be sure you understand the billing arrangements.  Many sites will automatically keep billing you (and keeping your membership active) unless you tell them otherwise.

·  Remember that there are a lot of choices.  Other than the time you spent filling out the profiles and questions, don't hesitate to move on to a different site if it doesn't feel right to you after a free trial period.

·  During your trial period, make sure you consider the number of possible matches in your own geographic area.   If you live in Montana and most of the site users are from the big cities, you just might have a problem finding someone.
