One important thing when online dating is making sure the person you're talking with is who they say they are - unfortunately there will always be scammers trying take advantage of unsuspecting daters! To make sure this doesn't happen look out for red flags such as requests for money (no matter how small) or any kind of pressure tactics used by them during conversations; these should not occur at all during initial stages of communication between two people meeting through an online platform/app/site . Make sure both parties use video calls prior meeting up in real life; ask questions about each other's background including job title , age range , family members ; most importantly trust your gut feeling ! If something feels off then it probably isn't right . Finally remember that no one owes anyone anything from simply being matched together via a website /app – keep everything consensual throughout every step taken forward within the relationship journey!
