- Words of advice for comfortable chatting...

- Conduct yourself in a responsible fashion : in the virtual world, as in the real world, common sense is a must. Don't fall in love after chatting on line with someone for 60 seconds, for example…

- Remain anonymous : only your user name and your description are visible to the person you are talking to and this guarantees your anonymity until you decide that it is time to reveal your identity. Never disclose personal information during initial exchanges. Trust has to grow gradually in an atmosphere of openness and honesty. You are in no way obliged to reveal your identity and you should only do so if you wish to, so do not allow yourself to be influenced or forced into it. Chatting commits you to nothing. After all it is supposed to be fun!

- If the person you are chatting to asks you to change to a different site or to use a different programme, remember that whilst you remain on PROXIMEETY.CO.UK your computer is safe from viruses.

- Don't burn your bridges and trust in your own intuition to help you spot any possible inconsistencies with the people you are conversing with. Here again, as in the real world, you need a certain amount of time to really get to know people. If a particular person's messages are annoying you or you feel suspicious of them because of what they are not saying, or if you feel that you are being lied to or that the given profile does not seem to match the true personality, terminate the correspondence immediately! Furthermore, you can always add this person to your user black list if you would prefer to end all contact with them.

- Before agreeing to meet anyone in person, it is most important to request a photo and a telephone number from them…..the appearance and the voice of the person in question are vital in helping you to make an accurate assessment of them! You are also strongly recommended to arrange your meetings in busy public places. Tell someone close to you where you are going and, when you meet the person, as when you are chatting on the internet, remember that "safety is born of caution". If you can find liars on the internet, then you can certainly find these same individuals in society at large - in clubs or even in your own block of flats. Don't forget, of course, that fortunately there is also a large majority of people on the internet who are lovely and genuine. For our part, we aim to suspend the membership of those who are the subject of repeated complaints.
