While dating online, one should be very cautious of the stranger you are dating. For safe Christian Dating, here are couple of easy to follow tips:

   Use an anonymous e-mail account.

   Never post your real name anywhere online.

   Don't rush things - take time to learn about the person before meeting them personally.

   Do not reveal your personal information unless you are sure about the person.

   Don't feel pushed for a phone call or meeting in person. If you feel that you are being pushed, be straightforward and say no. Move at a comfortable pace.

   Chat on the phone a few times... what can you hear in the background? Do background noises match the information you have been told? Is the household supposed to have children, pets, etc.? Listen, Listen, Listen! Remember to block caller-ID's until you chose to give your number. Note that if you have been asked to call an 800# its likely that your phone number will be recorded on the recipient's phone bill.

   Call at unanticipated times! Someone who is interested will always enjoy your call. Does someone unexpected answer the phone? Does your date seem irritable that you are calling unexpectedly? Perhaps they have something to hide.

   Ask to have a family photo! Is your date a 'family man?' Is he/she proud of the children? Do the kids seem to match the details you were told?

   As a part of courtesy, do respond to each email you get from the members interested in you. Even if you are not interested, simply say thanks and God Bless.

   Being a Christian show honor, respect, be kind and gentle to your partner while dating.

   If the other member is not interested in you, let it go.

   No Sex! You're messing with God's child, here.
