1. Making Your NatashaBride.net Experience Safe & Successful

Here are the essential "rules-of-the-road" for safely navigating online relationships.

Watch out for someone who:

    * Asks for money or any type of financial assistance, especially if you never met in person.

    * Asks you to assist with personal transactions (depositing funds, shipping merchandise, etc.).

    * Wants to speed up the pace beyond your comfort level.

    * Report a sudden personal crisis and pressures you to provide assistance. If this happens, view the request with healthy skepticism. Put yourself in the other person's shoes: if you were faced with an emergency, why would you turn to a person you've only recently met online for assistance rather than seeking help from family or friends? Although it can be embarrassing to ask for help from a loved one, most people would find it far worse to have to ask a person they've only just met for money or other items of value.

    * Asks inappropriate questions.

    * Tells stories with inconsistencies,some which may sound grandiose.

    * Gives vague answers to specific questions.

    * Urges you to compromise your principles.

    * Constantly blames others for troubles in their life.

    * Insists on getting overly close, overly fast.

2. Be Cautious When Sharing Personal Information

We strongly encourage you to be cautious when sharing personal information that could reveal your identity. Take a full advantage of our secure and completely anonimous Guided Communication process, and resist the urge to provide a personal email or phone number right away, no matter how strong a connection to your match may feel. Once you've given out personal information, you cannot take it back! We encourage you to get to know a match well via our secure Open Communication system before taking the next step and sharing a telephone number, instant messenger handle or email address. You also have the option to use NatashaBride's Secure Call service that allows you and your match to call each other without exchanging phone numbers.

3. Do Your Own Research

As mentioned above, it is important to note that NatashaBride does not perform background checks on its members because there is no national database of criminal convictions in Ukraine, so background checks would provide a false sense of security. It is important to use Caution and Common Sense with every match.

It is also important to note that our optional identity verification service, is not a background check. We rely on the honesty of our members when filing out our NatashaBride relationship questionnaire to supply us with their occupation, educational background and additional options. (we check our members only on such data as their date of birth, marital status, city and the state of residence as it is performed to us with the copy of their passport). Regardless of the connection you feel with any of your matches, we encourage you to do your own research before meeting in person. This can be anything from typing your match's name into a search engine, contacting your state or local municipalities to obtain public information, or using a paid service to obtain a full background report. Above all else, use common sense. Pay attention to the details someone shared and if you find anything that doesn't seem to add up, follow your intuition and close the communication.

4. Make Your First Date Safe & Successful

Meeting in person is very exciting time. Most of all you just want to have fun and explore the level of chemistry that you share with your date, but don't high hopes cloud your ability to exercise reasonable caution.

Do:

    * Choose the time and place of your date wisely. Meet in a public place at a decent hour during which lots of people will be around. Lunch dates work especially well.

    * Limit alcohol consumption or abstain entirely until you know the person better.

    * Use your own transportation,wherever possible, drive yourself or take a taxi.

    * Tell at least one friend about your plans.

    * Carry a fully charge mobile phone with easily accessible emergency numbers.

Don't:

    * Leave beverages or personal belongings such as purses, wallets, or jackets with pockets that may contain items that could reveal personal information about you, such as a driver's licence, credit cards, or money.

    * Incur large expenses on a date without first discussing how to cost will be divided.

    * Go home with someone, even if it feels like everything's going great. You have not spent enough time with them to assess whether your safely is a risk.

5. Always be Respectful and Kind

Always be respectful and treat your matches as you would want them to treat you. Not every match is going to be right for you so closing communication with matches and having matches close communication with you is a natural and healthy part of our process.
