11 Tips That Will Help You Stay Safe While Dating Online
Your mom will be happy we told you.
Because do you really know what kind of person your OKCupid match is?
We didn't think so.
Here's how to take your online dating safety skills up a notch.
Ask a basic question more than once.
To gauge their honesty, "ask them a question, and then later ask them the same question in a different way," Garth Bruen, security fellow of the Digital Citizens Alliance, a Washington, D.C.-based coalition that promotes Internet safety, told U. S. News. One example: Asking where the person went to high school.
One-stop-shop in their SOUL.
Hop on Refresh and see all their latest social media interactions: Where they've checked in, what groups they've joined, if they've changed their LinkedIn job from "accountant" to "body-ripper," etc.
Get an instant background check.
After using DateCheck, you can say—with confidence—that your match has probably never killed anyone. The app runs a full background check on the person that you are potentially going on a date with–marital status, age, education, and even criminal history.

Especially your ex's stuff.
Legally I cannot advise you to set fire to their car. However, you can 100% fantasize about it, and live vicariously through Angela Bassett doing so in Waiting to Exhale. I support that decision.

You know all those tips about getting rid of clutter one thing at a time? Yeah, forget that.
One of the reasons most people hate cleaning is it takes up so much time, all of the time -- we have to be reminded, we have to do it constantly, we'd rather be doing anything else. We're not going to go by the traditional advice you're probably heard before. We're going to try something new.
We're gonna listen to the International Queen of Life Transformations, our Lady Marie Kondo.
This book is a cult. A totally reasonable, scary cult that works, doesn't kill people (a bonus), but does drastically change your life. In this case -- for the better.
Marie Kondo's method -- shortened to KonMari's-- makes decluttering and reshaping your life after a one time, serious undertaking, that doesn't need to ever be repeated. It's radical, but it works: you probably consume more than you discard -- so getting rid of one thing when you've just purchased 3 new things on Amazon isn't exactly going to keep your place an optimal Zen zone.
