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.

Tips & Comments
  1. Sophisticate

    Other ways to know is some one may be hostile or dangerous. How do they describe the opposite sex or what they are looking for: I don't want a chat, liar, w***e, or psycho all indicate high levels of unresolved anger. Or the opposite side: I'm looking for a loyal woman...do they exist or if you're not stacked or some other derogatory remark is very negative. If you reject some one, how do they respond. I've had men email back, "Who do you think you are?, or you need luck not me!, or No thank you???????? If you reject some one and they are very kind about it, you may wish to reconsider them. They have a good and mature heart. In their emails to you do they: one up you, argue with you? tell you you love yourself too much, say your may be attractive but your personality...well. Is the person insulting, even when you haven't said or done anything to warrant such responses. Also do they respect your boundaries, even on line. Do they argue with your views on the world, insinuate you are wrong or you don't know what a real man is....these are just some of the signs a man or woman is not a good bet. Also are they evasive, seem secretive, mention lots of women or a woman repeatedly as a "friend." Chances are he's married, engaged, or has a significant other. Trust your instincts. If something feels off, it most likely is. Best wishes safety to you all.
