Top tips for guys!

  • If you are getting to know a new girl through one of these sites don’t be offended if they don’t seem as keen as you. They might just be being careful until they get to know you better.

  • If you want to chat using webcams, always switch yours on first so the girl is confident that you are who you say you are.

  • Don’t ask very personal questions that may make her feel uncomfortable. Stick to general chat to really get to know what someone is like!

  • Although girls are more vulnerable on the web, guys are not living in absolute safety. About one third of internet exploitation cases involve boys. You don’t know exactly who you are talking to either so try not to give out too much information until you are sure.


Remember!


If you are tempted to meet someone offline in real-life then please think very carefully. Can they prove they are who they seem to be? If you are convinced that you want to meet them then take a friend or parent the first time to make absolutely sure and always meet in a very public place.


Each community site like myspace.com bebo.com and wayn.com has a moderator who is there to look out for you. Report anything suspicious immediately.
