Internet dating can be viewed much the same way as blind dating. Get to know someone first, look for key signs of honesty, such as phone numbers, email addresses, current photos. If you meet in a public forum, you might observe how he interacts with others. Go slow, that's the biggest mistake people make. It's fairly unrealistic to think you can fall in love and marry someone based on never having met one another.
Find mutual interests and discuss them. Does he seem uninterested in anything you say? That's a big clue. If you turn a cam on, look for visible signs of female (or male) surroundings, pictures on the wall, pillows, colors, etc. Does he or she have a ring on their left ring finger? Are they obsessive talking about ex-girlfriends or spouses? Do they only talk online at specific times? (A clue they might be married). Ask, you'll be surprised how many people are honest about their marital status, too. Stay tuned in to him.
Plan to meet at a neutral location, where you both have transportation and you can leave at any given moment. I have many friends I've met online, have dated a few of them and I can honestly say that if you use these tips, you won't be very surprised at who you find on the other side of that computer screen. Let him know up front what your expectations are, whether that includes a clean bill of health of a decision on what kind of coffee to drink. (That's entirely up to you).
Just as in "real" life, there are no guarantees. But what do you have to lose if you follow some basic rules?
One word of caution, it's easy to get carried away with the written word, so be prepared to back up anything you say on the internet in person.
