Many people are utilizing the right cyber dating tips to find the relationship of their choice. It's easy to understand why. Internet dating has come a long way from the old days of being only for the desperate and oddballs. Statistics show that last year almost one quarter of couples that got married first met online.

This clearly demonstrates that online dating is not some passing fad. It is here to stay and many of the new innovations in messing put the exclamation point on this fact. Yet to have some success within this medium it is important to have a good starting point. This boils down to asking yourself some essential questions before you even register with a dating site.

1. Who Are You Looking For

This should be your first question. Are you looking for someone who has the same taste as you or a person completely different from anything you have known? When you make out a list of traits is it set in stone or are you willing to flexible? If the answer is flexible then the question is how much?

2. What Kind Of Relationship

Some people start out saying they want something long term. Others do not want to go that far and decide a casual relationship will suffice. Still others get into online dating and have no idea what they want which makes their search frustrating not only for them but also the potential prospects. Therefore set you boundaries early. Knowing the type of relationship you really desire can save a lot of time and disappointment later on.

3. Paid or Free

This is one that often gets overlooked. People get so hung up on the first two questions that they don't truly consider the importance of choosing between a free or paid dating site. They know they have to make a decision but at times it can be only an afterthought.

There are a few powerhouse free dating sites that can be more satisfying than a paid one. Yet many fee based web locations have benefits and features that a lot of free places cannot come close to matching. Are you willing to invest some money and if so how much?

The internet dating tips that fit you best can bring that special someone into your life but the key to ensuring this happens is to have a clear idea of exactly what you want before you get started.

Online Dating Security: 3 Easy Freebies To Protect Yourself

Online dating security is more important than ever.

Although online dating can be a rewarding experience, some precautions should be taken to protect yourself. This article details three easy and free steps to keep your online dating identity secure.

At some point in time, you will want to contact your online match in a setting other than the dating site. In fact, to develop the relationship further, it helps to go from the dating sites' online features to the convenience of your own numbers and/or email. However, contact information such as telephone numbers and email addresses can divulge personal information that should be kept private.

The most basic security choice you can make for online dating is to choose a reputable site that, at the beginning, controls the method of communication. Many dating sites, let you email back and forth without divulging your personal contact information.

To protect your information even further, here are three easy (and free) tips:

1. Email address: Don't use your regular email address. Create a "throw-away" email address for all of your online dating.

Simply go to Gmail, yahoo or Hotmail and create a free email address. Make up a username which does not reveal your real name, skip filling out the profile information and you are ready to go. In this way, you can work to keep your personal information safe.

If you opt to use Gmail to create your account, you will find another useful and free feature: Google Voice.

2. Google Voice: A Google Voice number is a free service which includes a telephone number and a text-message voice-mail service.

To start, go to Google Voice and choose a number. For added security, you can choose a number that does not use the area code in which you live. The Google voice number can ring through to up to six lines. You can program it to ring through to your cell, home or office number. You can decide which phones will ring, set custom voicemail greetings, and call rules for your different contacts.

In this way, you have the convenience of using your own personal numbers without having to give them out. When your online match calls, Google Voice prompts the caller to give a name. Then, when you answer, you hear the name and can decide whether to proceed with the call or have the caller leave a message.

3. Skype: Skype calling offers protection, but not the flexibility of Google Voice.

It is easy to set up a free Skype account. To keep your personal information safe, make up a name when you set up your online id.

You can use Skype to call landlines and cell phones, which keeps your cell phone number from showing up in their caller ID.

For a very low, pay-as-you-go price, you can add money to your Skype account to make/receive landline or cellular calls.

For free, you can "call" someone from computer to computer. The computer to computer call can either be a "normal" call (you will want to invest in a headphone/microphone combo) or a video call in which you can see each other. With the Skype video option, you can get an even better "feel" for the other person in that you can "see" them before you go out.

These are just three easy and free options to get you started.
