to do
Stage of Online communication
- Try
to remain completely anonymous until you fully trust that person.
- Closely
look for odd behaviour or inconsistencies. Serious people will always
respect your space and allow you to take your time to make a decision.
- Ask a
friend or relative to read the emails you receive because as an unbiased
observer they can spot warning signs you missed.
- Stop
communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal information
like photo, mailing address, mobile no. etc., or attempts in any way to
trick you into revealing it.
- You
can use the Photo Request feature on SikhAnandkaraj.com. As
SikhAnandkaraj.com offers free scanning & upload services to its
members, there's no reason someone shouldn't be able to provide you a
photo.
- View
several images of someone in various styles: casual, formal, indoor and
outdoor. If he/she gives excuses about why you can't see a photo,
consider that he or she has something to hide.
- Use
pre-paid mobile phone number or use local telephone blocking techniques
to prevent your phone number from appearing in Caller Id. Furnish your
contact number only when you feel completely comfortable and have some
information about the other person.
- If
someone provides you a phone number with a strange area code, check it
out to make sure it's not a charge number before you make the call.
Not to do :
- Don't
provide your personal contact information like name, email address,
residential address, telephone numbers, place of work or any other
identifying information in your initial messages.
- Don't
send your personal information or contact information until you trust
that person.
- Don't
use signature in your emails that include your contact details.
- Don't
use your regular or official email id for communicating with a person you
don't know well.
Stage of Offline communication
To do :
- Be in
control when it comes to taking an online relationship offline.
- If
you decide to arrange a meeting, you always have the right to change
your mind. It's possible that your decision to keep the relationship at
the anonymous level is based on a hunch that you can't logically
explain. Trust yourself.
- When
you decide to meet face to face with someone for the first time, choose
a public place (such as a mall / restaurant / cafe) where many people are
around and ensure your own transportation to and fro.
- If
you are meeting a person first time, take a friend or relative along with
you.
- In
case you decide to meet him/her alone then leave the name, address and
telephone number of the person you are going to meet with your friend or
family member.
- Ask
many questions to him/her and watch for inconsistencies. This will help
you detect liars & cons, and it will help you find out if you're
truly compatible.
- Pay
attention to displays of anger, intense frustration or attempts to
pressure or control you. Acting in a resentful manner, making demeaning
or disrespectful comments, or any physically inappropriate behaviour are
all warning signs.
- Beware
of those who try to ask money from you for whatever reason. Genuine
person will not ask you for money in any circumstance. If someone asks
you for money, use common sense and never give in to such requests.
- In
case someone asks you for money report the situation to us.
Not to do :
- Never
arrange for your prospective match to pick you up or drop you to his/her
place.
- Do
not go to a secluded place or a movie alone at the first meeting.
- Don't
ignore the following behaviour especially if it is without an acceptable
explanation:
- Provides inconsistent
information about age, interests, appearance, marital status, salary,
profession, employment, etc.
- Fails to provide
direct answers to direct questions.
- Never introduce you to
friends, professional associates or family members
- Take
your own time to decide on a trustworthy person and pay careful
attention along the way.
- Don't
become prematurely close to someone, even if that intimacy only occurs
online.
- Trust
your instincts and then move ahead with the right person!
