If some of your friends are into online dating and have actually succeeded in their romantic quest, consider asking for their opinion. Be aware however, that your situation may always end up different from your friends. Even if all your friends have found love through the internet, you might just be the only unlucky one to find something else. Even with the precaution of signing up with a good dating service, you may still have to utilize some of your extra sensory perception to detect the bad eggs from the good ones. The only possible way other than following concrete precautions is to have some good common sense and instinct. Common sense would tell you not to reveal too much to someone you don't really know yet. Even if you have a web camera and you are already aware how the person looks like, there's still a chance that some things the person has revealed about himself may not be true. You may be chatting with a high-class bum instead of an advertising executive. It would be good though to also be honest even if you're not revealing everything about yourself. Imagine the disappointment and disillusionment of a date you may end up liking if he finds out you're more into classical ballet than team sports. If you're at least honest with your interest, you may find some people who share the same interests. If is after all, a similarity in interests that builds friendships and relationships. Do not expect your date though to be equally honest. It is a given that dishonesty may be part of the package. This is where you should use your instincts. It may be all right to be lied to over minor details like hair and eye color but watch out for the lies that may be dangerous. If things don't seem to jive and he is apparently inconsistent over a lot of things like occupation and interests, this may be a sign that he may even be a bigger liar than he already is. If things don't feel right, abandon ship without giving it a second thought.
