How To Know If You Are Dealing With Someone Dangerous On An Online Dating Site

How do I know if I'm dealing with someone dangerous on an online dating site?

You can't know in advance whether someone is a dangerous person, but you can take certain safety precautions. Screening is essential in life, but you can do it particularly well in online dating. You want to email back and forth - we can't say it enough - to screen people, to ask them questions, to try to trap them in lies. If they're not lying, it's great, you've just got a lot of answers to questions, but if they are lying, you'll trip them up somewhere. Get a lot of detail about people. Ask them what they do on weekends, ask them what they did last weekend, find out where they went to school, find out where they grew up. Most importantly, Google them. If they are a dangerous person, or at least have been in the past, you're likely to find something about them. Screening is essential for online dating safety.
