Keep your home address, workplace and daily routine to yourself until you know someone well, and never share bank details, card numbers or passwords with anyone you have met online.

Each day you receive suggestions based on things such as your preferred age range, how far away members are, how active they are, the kind of relationship you want, lifestyle habits such as drinking and smoking, and shared interests.
