Avoid Cyber Stalking
-Netiquette For Rejecting Profiles

Online Dating services
online can be a fun place to meet new people, but because of
the anonymity involved with dating online, you run a certain
risk that the person you are striking up a conversation with
isnt exactly who they say they are. Breaking off an online
romance or even simply rejecting a profile emailed through an
online dating service can be tricky if you dont do it with some
finesse.
Cyber stalking is defined as unwanted contact or threats via
email or instant messaging. Cyber stalkers can be relentless,
sending mean and inappropriate emails so many times in one day
that you no longer look forward to checking your email. They
can also send pornographic material or even viruses disguised
as apologies (Which you are more likely to open.)
Take heart, there are hundreds of online dating sites, from
free dating services online to monthly or yearly membership
dating sites, so dont give up, just learn the netiquette
involved with saying "no" to a profile sent to you via adult
dating online. Online dating tips for saying "no thanks"
include:
* Do not send a reply. It is very bad manners not to open an
email, but once you have and would not like to have further
contact, just do not reply. In internet language this is a
common form of showing no interest, and is considered
appropriate.
* If someone whom you have not replied to keeps sending you
emails, use the sender block on your email, thats what its
for.
* If you are in a chat room and realize that the person you
are chatting with probably isnt a good match, tell them so
nicely and wish them well. Wait for a reply and kindly sign
off.
* Always be kind and polite, but say nothing that could be
construed as an indication that you might change your mind.
Cyber stalkers, like "flesh and blood" stalkers, often believe
that the other party did something to lead them on, even if you
didnt, so leave no margin for error.
Always report this sort of abuse to the online dating
service. A reputable company that provides adult dating online will censure or
terminate someone who has reports of harassment.
