Online dating is becoming popular in getting a life partner.However, it has so many flaws cause people use the platform to also swindle people.

Below are some tips to put in consideration if you want to engage in online dating.

Don’t ignore any facts that seem inconsistent or “off.” Trust your instincts and remember that you have control over the situation. If you’re talking to someone online or by phone and they say things that raise your suspicions, consider ending the conversation. If you’re out on a date and you feel uncomfortable, leave.

Also, be aware of these common red flags when you’re getting to know someone new. Watch out for someone who:

Immediately requests to talk or chat on an outside email or messaging service.

Claims that your introduction was “destiny” or “fate,” especially early in communication.
