Don’t give out personal information such as your name, telephone number and address. Most match-making sites will route correspondence through their internal mailbox so the person will never learn your e-mail address unless you choose to reveal it. You may want to use your first name only or use an online name until you feel safe. One of the big dangers, particularly in the place where people feel at home is that people are too free with information about themselves.
When you feel secure enough to talk on the telephone to your online friend, give him or her a work mobile phone or page number rather than your home telephone number, or get theirs. Meet in a public place during the day for initial dates and tell others where you are going or bring along some friends. Be careful about sharing too much too soon.
Get to know someone through his or her words before taking the romance to the street. The beauty of the Internet, experts say, is that it has rekindled (重新点燃) the joy of writing. Explore that way of connecting before you talk on the telephone or meet face-to-face. Let your instinct tell you when you’re ready to meet that person. Some people fear if I don’t meet the person soon, he won’t talk to me any more. But if he won’t wait until you are comfortable, he wasn’t worth having anyway.

The angry woman stood by the station. “ The railway owes me £12,”she said to Harry Jenks, the booking clerk (订票员). “My ticket was for May 22nd, and there was no ship from Jersey that night. My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “ Come into the office, madam,” he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“ Yes,” she answered. “ The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!”
“ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----”
“ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “ But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
“ Er, well-----” The woman looked at the child. “ I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”
“ A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s return to Jersey costs----let me see----£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel bill, you will owe £1.50.The law is the law, but since we have made a mistake-----”
