Online Dating Tips/Advice

Never, Ever give out your:

1) Real email address
2) Phone Number
3) Last Name
4) Home address
5) Work address
6) Any other personally identifying info (if you are from a small town, don’t give out the name of your town, stick to the county name)

At DestinyWaits.com we strive to provide you with a safe and secure meeting environment via anonymous email and live anonymous talk, where you can become familiar with and get to know your potential dates before you give out your personal info. Remember, there are a lot of sincere and wonderful people who are here for the same reason you are- to meet their special Destiny date. Unfortunately, there are always some bad apples in the mix, so please use common sense and refrain from getting too personal. We want you to have a positive experience and most of all- fun.

Talk about it! Get to know your potential date via DestinyWaits.com Contact Member Feature within their profile. This feature allows you to contact any member within DestinyWaits.com safely and anonymously. It’s the next best thing to Chat and much safer than a physical life encounter. A must do before you meet in person!

Photo please! Appearances aren’t everything, but a photo of your potential date will help give you additional info to feed your intuition about them. So by all means, ask your potential dates to upload a recent photo of themselves.

The Uh-oh factor. Pay attention to your inner voice when you get hints that someone is being dishonest or misleading you. Inconsistent info provided about their past, jobs, pets, family, whatever- pay attention and get an explanation as soon as possible. If a potential date avoids answering your request for an explanation about questionable “flags” that are bothering you, it’s time to say, “Nice meeting you, but it’s not going to work out”.

Be yourself. When online, some people find it intriguing to “put on” a different persona. But if you are serious about meeting someone special, and want to ensure your safety it is smart to stay true to yourself. Select your user name carefully, choosing a name that labels you as sexually promiscuous if you are not will get you in trouble. Trying to get noticed with a “hot” user name, will certainly attract attention, but probably the wrong kind. Also, refrain from bragging or telling white lies to enhance the real you, if you attract someone with these “mistruths”, and you really like them, you’ve already gotten off on the wrong foot with your potential new relationship. Why waste your time and theirs? Use your common sense and be truthful, you will be rewarded.
