Online Dating Tips

Hello fellow AfroRomance.com members! Now that you have decided to take matters into your own hands and give fate a nudge, there are a few things that we all need to keep in mind.

The internet is a vast and sometimes tricky place, however it also wild and exciting. Personal security while dealing with any kind of online transaction is very important. Here are a few points for you guys to keep in mind if you're ever in doubt.

1. Never Send Money or Bank Account Details

AfroRomance.com does not do any background checks of any kind on our members. You must be wary of scams that exist in the online world. AfroRomance.com recommends that you never send any member your bank account details or any financial support until you know the member very well.

2. Telephone Numbers

Please guard your personal phone number unless you really know someone very well, avoid giving it to just anyone or including it in your profile. If you should fall hopelessly head over heels with someone, its best for you to call them rather than giving out your number. This protects your anonymity.

3. Never give out your home address

If you live in a large city, you may give out the name of the city. Avoid using email addresses which may indicate where you work. e.g. myname@companyname.com. If you want to communicate via e-mail with a potential date, it's wise to set up another e-mail account such as Yahoo mail or Hotmail.

4. Check their age...

While AfroRomance.com does not provide service to people under 18 years old - we do not verify member ages. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that any relationship you have with one of our members is legal.

5. Don't accept abuse

Here at AfroRomance.com, we want your online experience to be a joyful one, so don't under any circumstances respond to anyone who is rude, offensive, abusive or in any way makes you feel uncomfortable. Sometimes people will try and elicit a response that you are not comfortable with. If you are not comfortable with anything someone writes to you, you can add them to your block list so you will not receive any further contact from them. Should anyone continue to annoy you, please report it via the support page.

6. Don't be shy, Specify!

Dont be afraid to specify what you are looking for. In your profile, write exacly what you are looking for (eg. bald , short, green eyed). If you don't specify, how will he/she know you are looking for them?

7. Don't exaggerate (too much)

While anonymity is important, it is not wise to lie and exaggerate yourself on your profile. A good jolt of self esteem is good but lying about ones age, weight and height is a bad way to start any kind of relationship. Ladies, there is nothing wrong with hiding those few extra kilos you have been trying to shed since last Christmas, just do it in a sensible manner :)

8. Photo, photo, photo

Another Important thing is your photo. Our site statistics show that profiles with photos receive 7 to 10 times more response than profiles without photos. For both ladies and gents 'A picture is worth a thousand words'. There are a lot of cyber cafes or photo shops around that offer picture scanning services or you can even mail them to us for scanning. Invest in a nice picture. Ask a friend to help you choose a photo that most brings out your wonderful smile and nature.

9. The first face-to-face meeting

When you finally decide to meet your "handsome heart-throb" or "drop dead gorgeous babe" in person, meet in a public place, a place where that you are familiar with. Avoid having your first meetings in private residential places and if possible, bring a friend along.

10. Be Healthy & Safe

If in time a relationship leads to sexual contact, you potentially are at risk for a variety of health hazards. We do not screen our member’s health background. It is your responsibility to consult your physician for health safety advice.

11. ... above all - relax, have fun and enjoy the experience
