Online dating is different and fun:
Online dating is an immediate and fun way to get in touch with other like minded folks. You can become very close, very quickly without having met and you will find more and more cowboys and cowgirls are joining the online dating craze, this is especially true for single farmers, ranchers and rural singles who find it easier to make online connections– this can be great but follow these simple tips for a more enjoyable experience no matter what type of dating site you join.


  IT’S OK TO ASK ABOUT PHOTOS. There's nothing wrong in asking someone if their photos are recent. If they don't have a photo, request one. It's important for you to get a good look at the person you may eventually meet. Plus your instincts from your communications and their photos may provide you with more insight into a person.

 Ready to move outside our anonymous messaging system - Use a Free Email Account
If you decide to move your communication from our anonymous messaging system we provide, then use an email address that isn't your regular one. Sign up for a free Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail account or free cowboy web email address. This protects you from a person being able to search your normal email address to find out information about you.

 Don't Provide Personal Information too soon – make use of all our anonymous communication tools
Your home phone number is an easy way to track who you are and where you live. Armed with just your home phone number, a person can easily gain access to your home address, and even learn the value of your home. So in the initial stages of communication, guard your personal information. As far as phone communication, see the next tip.

 When its time to talk on the phone -  talk right from your computer to other country singles from anywhere using our system. When it's time to move your communication to talking on the phone, don’t give out your home phone number. Either provide a cell phone number, or use our unique PC-PC call link. Members can call each other from PC - PC directly. No phone line required and no fees involved. In member profile, there's a call link. Members can click on it to talk to other country singles. The other member will then receive a pop-up phone call, all you need is a microphone & internet connection. It's just an added protection barrier we provide until you get to know the person better. Schedule a call date and get to know each other without revealing who you are so there is no pressure on either member.

 Look for Questionable Characteristics in Your Communication
As you chat via email and on the phone you may be able to start to pick out characteristics of the other person. Do they seem to anger easily? Do they avoid some of your questions? Do they pressure you for personal information? These can be questionable characteristics that tell you it might be time to stop communictaing and move on.
 

 Don't let your guard down while using online services who offer "background checks"  Some online dating services offer "background checks" and if you sign up you may find it easier to let your guard down. Laws differ from state-to-state and there are even states where checks can't be effectively done. Wrong doers can and do get into services that do background checks, so don’t let your guard down.

 
YOU’RE FIRST DATE - WHEN IT’S TIME TO SCHEDULE THAT FIRST EXCITING MEETING –
Arrange to meet in a public place during the day and provide your own transportation, never accept an offer to be picked up. Tell family and friends about the date and who you are with. If you move to another location take your own vehicle. Your initial meeting will tell you a lot about the other person, your gut instincts should kick in.  Meet this way as many times as you want, nobody should push you in to do something your not comfortable with. Always be aware of the personal information you're revealing when on a date. Stay away from members who won't take no for an answer or pressure you for any kind of personal information. Serious people will respect your decision and allow you to take your time. 
 
Traveling to meet your new found country love or friend? The person traveling should make their own plans and reservations.
NEVER SEND MONEY TO SOMEONE YOU HAVE NEVER MET.
 
  We do not allow personal information in your profile such as first/last name, phone number, address or email address for your own protection. Unlike other dating services that block information that you are ready to provide because they do not want free members to be able to communicate - we do not block information you willingly provide through our messaging system. You should however communicate inside our internal messaging system until you are completely comfortable with a potential new date.
  We have very little patience for people that abuse our system and our website. If you ever get a message from someone that is being threatening or asking you for money or even advertising another site click on their profile, and you will see on the left menu a link to “report abuse” Let us know your suspicions and we will investigate. This is our way of showing our commitment to our members to keep singles corral fun, friendly, and safe.

With marriages from online dating, you can see that the experience can be both safe and rewarding. Using your own good judgment is your best bet because ultimately you are responsible for your personal experience. Trust your gut instincts and then have fun with the right people!  If you feel uncomfortable or suspicious, end the date. Keep it Safe!
