The Internet can be a great place to meet friends or even form lasting and loving relationships. It's also a place where some are online with the intent to take advantage of or to hurt others. It's always best to be educated and alert.
Below are a few ways you can be safer while searching for a relationship online.
- Set up an anonymous email account if you plan to communicate outside of a dating site.
- Do not publish your address, phone number, or email address in personal ads.
- Ask many questions when chatting, but don’t necessarily take every answer at face value. Remember online, you cannot read nonverbal, body language cues.
- If someone is abusive to you online, block them right away.
- If you get a feeling that something isn’t right, trust your instinct!

Cruising the Internet for sexual encounters has become commonplace. It’s also a place where some are online with the intent to take advantage of or to hurt others. It’s always best to be educated and alert.
Below are a few ways you can be safer while cruising online.
Tell someone about your potential encounter: Send a trusted person an email or text that includes your hook-up’s contact information.
If possible, meet in a public place: Introduce your hook-ups to your friends or the bartender.
Protect your valuables: Leave all valuables out of sight, locked away, or with a trusted friend.
Stay awake: No sleepovers the first time. Items can disappear while you are asleep and your safety could be in jeopardy.
