Did you ever go on a Cyber-Date to find yourself in some of the most embarrassing moments of your life? Are you struggling to find a quality date online? Are you looking for the man of your dreams to find you?  Do you want a great relationship with a real man?

As a Cyber-Dating Expert and one who has been on over 250 Internet dates including a few marriage proposals, I can share stories with you that will have you laughing for hours. But what do you do in these embarrassing moments?

The first thing to do is to know the red flags upfront and politely exit stage right or stage left, whatever you prefer. I send the inappropriate dates on a one-way ticket to Internet Heaven, a place reserved as a trash icon on my desktop.

For myself, I have collected stories for years, and have come up with the Top Ten Rules of Netiquette which will be featured in my upcoming book, The Perils of Cyber-Dating – Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online.

Online dating can be fun. But don’t neglect safety and common sense when you try to hook up with a mate. At minimum, take caution in the following areas.

Protect Your Computer

Take care of your equipment and systems before you head out into the Internet realm. You need to have a firewall and anti-virus protection for your email and for when you search websites and interact online. At the bare minimum, you may want these two solutions that are offered at no charge to home computer users (i.e. not for commercial use):

Free Firewall Download: ZoneAlarm www.zonelabs.com
Free Anti-Virus Download: AVG Anti-Virus www.grisoft.com

Protect Yourself

Take care of yourself, too, by choosing appropriate dating sites. Seek and choose a reputable online dating service.  How? Begin by asking around with friends, neighbors, co-workers and others you may know who have tried online dating, and see which places they recommend. In addition, search “online dating services” and keep a notebook of their URLs or website links, the fees, rules and regulations, complete contact information of each and any other useful information that spikes your interest. Then compare each place.  Try only those places where you feel safe. Avoid the others.

So take care. Arm your computer – and yourself- with the correct tools and knowledge!
