7. Watch for red flags

Watch for red flags Pay attention to displays of anger, intense frustration or attempts to pressure or control you. Acting in a passive-aggressive manner, making demeaning or disrespectful comments or any physically inappropriate behavior are all red flags. You should be concerned if your date exhibits any of the following behavior without providing an acceptable explanation:
o Provides inconsistent information about age, interests, appearance, marital status, profession, employment, etc.
o Refuses to speak to you on the phone after establishing ongoing, online intimacy.
o Fails to provide direct answers to direct questions.
o Appears significantly different in person from his or her online persona.
o Never introduces you to friends, professional associates or family members.
