contacting or who has contacted them. We want our members to feel that they are not just being given an
opportunity to connect with other singles, but with people they are suited to and will find attractive. Our site

compatible in every respect.

else feels that way as well.
Can I become a full member if I don't want to post a photo of myself?
Of course you can - you can upgrade your membership at any time. Just be sure to give a full description of
yourself when you're creating your profile so that other members who might want to contact you will have some idea
of what you look like.
Will my email address or real name be seen by other members?
No they wont. All messages you send to, or receive from other members are sent via our secure, privately hosted
email system and your real address is never revealed. Also, when you join, you have to choose a 'username' to
accompany your profile and this 'username' is how other members identify you. It is up to you whether to reveal
your real name when you send messages to other members.

Dating service and integrated video chat.
Be safe
We recommend that before you agree to go on a date with anyone, you should speak to them on the telephone first
and be in receipt of the full name and contact number of that person before you both meet. Tell a friend or family
member where you are going and arrange to rendezvous in a public place like a bar or restaurant. If s/he is
genuine, s/he will not mind these basic precautions.

Follow our simple tips to enjoy an exciting and safe online dating experience.
Online dating is different
Online dating is a more immediate way to get in touch with other like-minded people. You can become very close,
very quickly without having met them – this can be great but follow these simple tips for a more enjoyable
experience:
* Make use of the anonymous messaging system – do not give out personal details straightaway. Do not put
personal details in your profile or initial messages such as phone number, email address, home address or place of
work
* You can contact a member using the anonymous messaging system and gradually learn more about them, later
choosing if you want to give out more personal contact information, or pursue a relationship. Think about using an
email account just for your dating – a free account like Hotmail, or a mobile phone number that you can easily
change. If you call another member you can use the blocking technique to prevent you number appearing on Caller
ID.
* Don’t fake your photograph and don’t lie in your profile or messages – if you’re serious about meeting new
people, what’s the point? Remember, it is always better to be yourself.
* Don’t be afraid to flirt in messages, but equally don’t promise anything that in reality you’d be
uncomfortable with if you were meeting face-to-face.
* Be careful if you think a member is lying to you, or:
o Being forceful about you giving out personal details when they won’t do the same.
o Won’t answer reasonable questions directly.
o Gives inconsistent information about their age, appearance, marital status, employment and so on.
o Makes claims that seem extraordinary, or contradictory to what you already know about them.
* If you feel uncomfortable about a member, stop contacting them. You can block them so you will not receive
unwanted messages. If you feel someone is abusing the service, tell us.
* Always use your common sense and be responsible for you conduct.
Arrangements for a safe “offline” date
When you get to the point of meeting face-to-face follow our simple tips for a safer experience:
* Meet in a public place that you know well.
* Never arrange for your date to pick you up from your home.
* Never allow your date to make arrangements for your travel or hotel accommodation.
* Always have a friend or family member to call on if you need help. Always let them know where you are going
and what time you’ll be expected back. Call them to let them know things are ok. Leave details of the person you
are going to meet.
* Consider going on a double date with some of your friends, or going as part of a group of people you both
know.
* Remember, when you meet someone for the first time they are still a stranger.
* Don’t accept a lift home if you feel uncomfortable about it
* Always have a contingency plan for the unexpected so you can get away quickly, and have someone close by you
can call on. Take a mobile phone with you – and make sure it is fully charged, working and has enough credit to
make calls.
* It can take time to get to know someone properly. A person who is truly interested in you won’t mind if you
want to take your time in a relationship.
* Impostors and liars can be found anywhere, especially in “offline” places such as bars and nightclubs. The
internet is no different, however they are more easily spotted online and we will always remove anyone from the
site who is less than genuine.
* Always use your common sense, keep in control and don’t be forced into doing something you wouldn’t normally
do.
Finally
Trust your instincts – they are often right. If you feel uncomfortable about someone, stop. Discontinue contact
– there are plenty more fish in the sea. Use the www.DatePeterborough.co.uk feature to block unwanted messages
from other members. If you feel that someone is abusing the service, tell us.
Follow our simple tips for a safer, and more fun experience and you will be well on the way to meeting the
partner of your dreams. Thousands of members meet all the time and many find the like-minded person they are
looking for.
Is there anything else I should know?
