The biggest hurdle that most people face in online dating world is the question and concern of whether the person at the other end of the conversation is really who he or she says that they are. It is hard to get comfortable with the person you are about to meet, when you have no other connection to that person beyond an anonymous internet connection.
In the real world of dating, before you go on a first date, you probably know:
* Where someone works;
* Where they live;
* Who some of their friends are;
* Where they go to hang out;
* What they drive...
Sure, you cannot tell a lot about a person from information such as this, but you can sure tell a friend these things in the event that something goes awry on your first date. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
Your friends are able to know something real and truthful about the person you are about to go on a date with, because you are able to learn that information before you go on your first date.
But, when you are doing the online dating thing, you can chat or email back and forth with a potential date, and even after several months of talking, you could potentially still not know the first thing about the person you are ready to meet. For all you know, they could be pathological liars.
With online dating, it is difficult to really know anything about the person you want to meet, UNLESS, you join a dating website that has systems in place to verify the information that a person gives online. For example, does he or she really work where they say? Do they live where they say? Is that picture on their profile really what they look like in person?
But, if like me you have been around online dating for a number of years, it is really difficult to find a website that offers systems to enable the dating website's management team to verify any kind of information about their members.
When I took the decision to start an online dating site, I wanted to set up a system that would allow our management team to verify information about our members, so that we could offer our members a safer online dating environment. On our website, with our latest service upgrade, we finally have the ability to verify information about our members, providing our members a much more honest and safe dating community.
Although members are not required to verify their personal information, we do give our users several ways to verify their personal information. When a member verifies their personal information, we show our other members a logo which identifies what information has been verified in the user's profile.
Online dating should lead to fun and fulfillment, and hopefully, we have been able to introduce an element to our site that will let you see our dating community as one of the safer dating websites available online.
