3) Listen and watch (by video) for signs of a temper, control, etc. and run for the hills if you sense this person needs therapy first. You aren’t going to change him or her. Let the person get help。
3)听一听，看一看(通过视频)对方的性格脾气。如果你觉得这个人有点不太正常，那就赶紧撤吧。你可没必要去改变他/她，让他/她自己想办法吧。

4)用你的姓氏开通一个免费的电子邮箱，防止别人来搜索你的个人信息。
5) Ask for a RECENT picture and encourage the person to send candid shots for more realism. You don’t want major surprises when you meet. Awkward!

6) If any one asks for money, do not give it. Most likely you are being scammed。

15)慎用照片。一旦你把照片上传到网络，人们就可以任意使用它了。如果是与别人一起的合照，要事先征求对方意见，要不然就直接把别人从照片上裁掉，不要泄露别人的隐私。
