Online dating is probably the safest form of dating that exists.  Irritated Being Single allows you to form relationships with likeminded single adults in a fun and secure environment. 

With online dating you are in control.  Irritated Being Single’s anonymous messaging system allows you to communicate with other users that you take an interest in. You do not have to give any personal details such as your email address, home address or telephone number to anyone unless you want to. 

Safety Tips

For a fun and safe online dating experience use the following Safety Tips:

Online Dating

• Use the anonymous messaging system to its full advantage – never immediately give out personal details.  Avoid placing personal details in your profile such as your email address, last name, telephone numbers or home address.
• You will slowly learn more about a prospective partner using the anonymous messaging system, which will help you decide whether or not you wish to give out more personal contact information.  Consider using a free account like Hotmail to use for your online dating communications.
• Always be yourself when uploading your profile.  Don’t lie about yourself or use a fake photo.  If you are serious about meeting somebody there is no point in lying about who you are; any prospective date is bound to find out
• Feel free to be flirtatious with your messages but don’t promise anything that you would feel uncomfortable with if you had to meet this person face to face.
• Be wary of users who aren’t what they seem.  Things to look out for are users:

-         forcing you to give out personal details when they won’t do the same;

-         not answering reasonable questions directly;

-         giving you contradictory information about their age, appearance, marital status, employment etc.

• At any time you feel uncomfortable about another user, stop contacting them.  Please contact Irritated Being Single if you feel that another user is abusing the service.
• Use your common sense and be responsible for your own behaviour.

 For a fun and safe offline dating experience use the following Safety Tips:

Offline Dating

• Arrange to meet up in a public place that you know well.
• Under no circumstances arrange for your date to pick you up from your home.
• Under no circumstances allow your date to arrange your travel or hotel accommodation.
• Make sure a friend or relative knows where you are going and what time you are due home.  Give them details of the person that you are going to meet.
• Keep in mind that anyone you meet for the first time are still a stranger.
• Never accept a lift home.  Try to arrange a way home before the date.
• Use your best judgment.  If you need to get out of a situation make sure you can get away quickly and make sure you have someone that you can call on.   Take a fully charged mobile phone on the date with you.  If you feel that you are in danger, call the police.  Do not worry about your behaviour; your safety is of paramount importance, not one person’s opinion of you.
• Take the relationship slowly so you can get to know one another properly.  If your date is serious about you then they will not mind if you want to take your time in a relationship
• The Internet is known for impostors and liars but these types of people can be found anywhere.  You can find these types of people in bars and nightclubs and other ‘offline’ places.  They are easier to spot on the Internet and Irritated Being Single will always remove anyone who is not genuine.
• Use your common sense at all times, control your own actions and don’t be forced into anything that you would never do.
• Always trust your instincts – more often than not, they are usually right.
