Text 1 Rules for Internet Dating

Every time that you meet someone new, you take a risk. If you meet in a grocery store, in a museum, or in an Internet chat room, you have to protect yourself. The following rules apply to Internet dating.

1. Use Common Sense. Don't give out personal information such as your name, telephone number, or address until you are comfortable. You may want to use your first name only or use a fictitious name until you feel safe. When you feel safe enough to talk on the telephone, don't give out your home numb er. Get his or her number, or give them your work number, or your cellular phone number. Get together in a public place for the first date. Tell people where you are going or bring along some friends.

2. Tell the truth. If you send a photograph, make sure it's up-to-date. Telling the truth will avoid anger and disappointment later.

1. Get to know someone before getting romantic. Send e-mail messages for a while before you talk on the telephone or meet face-to-face. If he or she won't wait until you're comfortable, you should wonder why.

2. You can meet liars and cheaters on the Internet just like you can in real life. Look for the signs. Beware of Internet friends who try to persuade you to do something or make a lot of promises. Save your messages. If you think someone’s lying, you can look back at what they said before. Previous messages may give you a clue.

3. Before getting close to someone online, find out if the person is real. Ask for his or her home phone number, work number, and even references. It's easy to create a fake identity in cyberspace.

4. Internet dating can be as exciting as dating in person. Enjoy yourself but move slowly. Don't jump right into romance.

Ex.1 Answer the following questions:

1. Where should you meet an Internet date in person for the first time?

2. Why is it important to tell the truth?

3. What should you do with the messages you receive? Why?

4. How can you find out if a person is real?

5. Is it good to give your personal information?

6. Are you for or against the Internet dating?

Ex.2. Find synonyms for the next words in the text:

1. Be careful

2. Instructions

3. Fictitious, not real

4. Untruth

5. Fury, wrath

6. Indicator

7. The Internet

8. Love affair

Ex.3 Look back at these two-and three-word verbs from Text 1. Write another sentence with each one.

1. go out with

2. give out

3. get together

4. bring along

5. make sure

6. get to know

7. beware of

8. look back at

9. find out

10.jump into
