Greetings!
You stopped here because you were wondering if online dating is a safe thing to do. I believe online dating is safe, if you take the following precautions:
1) Do not reveal personal or highly sensitive information about yourself. Basically, do not share your physical address, social security number, bank account information, and that kind of thing.
2) Always, always, always meet the person you've been corresponding with in a public location. Preferably in a neutral location where you are not likely to run into the person again if you don't want to. Meeting at your favorite café may not be such a grand idea if you decide you want to avoid seeing your date again; especially, if he or she still wants to see you!
3) Tell someone - a relative, friend, neighbor, or acquaintance - about your plans to meet with someone you've met online. This way someone somewhere knows where you are going and expects you to return.
By the way, the above precautions applies to anyone of any age and gender!
In my fiction novel, Rhonda's Quest For Romance, you can follow along and laugh (or cringe), depending on what part you're reading, about her dalliances with the different men she meets from an online dating site.
Rhonda is a 30-year-old librarian with two cats and she is determined to find a lifetime partner in 90 days!

Whatever you decide to do, be safe and enjoy! :-)
