Safety Tips
while Communicating Online or Offline During Online Matchmaking
|
| The Internet
is rapidly becoming a convenient and acceptable new place to
find matches for smart, eligible Nepalese around the world,
thanks to NepalMatrimonial.com. While NepalMatrimonial.com can
make the experience enjoyable and safe, it is still necessary
to exercise some simple precautions for personal privacy and
safety. Following are some guidelines YOU can follow to protect
your privacy: |
|
Keep your identity confidential |
|
With any
online dating and matrimonial listing service, anonymity (confidentiality
of identity) is necessary. Just think about it. Would you
ever give out your phone number or address to strangers walking
on the street? Certainly not. Then, is it wise to reveal your
contact information to the millions of strangers surfing the
web?
Thus,
please make sure that you do not give out your contact information
anywhere in your Profile. This includes your full name, address,
work place address, telephone number and even your email address.
|
| Begin
by communicating online with our Communicate
facility |
|
When someone
accepts your contact request or you accept someone's contact
requet, first begin by communicating solely through our Communicate
(Inbox / Compose Message) facility, which is completely anonymous.
Do
not give out your personal email address or invite for Online
Chat to the members you initially contact.
Once you are quite sure and confident about the seriousness
and authenticity of the member you are in communication with
then you may give out your personal email address and even
engage in Online Chat so that you can know more about the
person.
Never
jump into telephone conversations or personal meetings prematurely.
Take your time and give yourself a chance to know more about
the person.
NOTE:
While
communicating with other members please promptly report us
any abusive/vulgar emails sent to you so that we can take
necessary actions against such members.

Look out for inconsistencies |
Once you
start communicating via email and chat, take care to notice
odd behavior or inconsistencies. If someone is evasive, and
not consistent with his/her statements then there is a good
chance that the person is either not serious or just fooling
around.
People can sometimes exaggerate or blow up their profiles to
create good impressions. It is necessary to weed out such profiles
from the truly genuine ones. Keep in mind that while some people
do fake their profiles, most others are simply genuine singles
looking for a compatible life partner, much like your self.
If you
do find out that a person has falsified and embellished his/her
profile please contact customer support at support@nepalmatrimonial.com.
NepalMatrimonial.com has strict policy (outlined in our Terms
of Use/Service Agreement) for miss representation on the site.

Request for a photograph |
|
A photograph
adds a face to the Profile you are getting to know. In most
cases, a photograph does help you to picture the person you
are communicating with. Additionally, it immediately allows
you to judge the truthfulness of a person's physical description
about himself / herself as mentioned in his/her profile.
|
|
Phone Conversation |
|
A phone
call can reveal a lot about a person's communication and social
skills. Thus, it is worth to call up someone you are trying
to know. This step should be taken after you are thoroughly
satisfied with online conversation (email, chat) with the
person and want to go a step ahead.
Do not
give out your own/work phone number to the person you are
calling up for the first time. It takes time to develop trust.
Only once you have gained sufficient information to satisfy
yourself that you are definitely interested in the person,
should you furnish your phone number.
Also,
call unexpectedly once in a while. The response you get from
the other person can be very informative.

The First Meeting - Be Careful |
|
Meeting
a potential match is a big step and you should agree to a
meeting only when you are completely ready and not under pressure
from another person. When you decide to meet the person, proceed
with caution. You may consider following safety tips.
Bring
along a family member, relative or close friend to the first
meeting. If things go well, you can meet again a second time
and get to know each other better. This way, you will also
get a second opinion on your choice.
If you are meeting alone (for the subsequent/following meetings),
always tell someone you trust where you are going and when
you will return. Leave the person's full name and telephone
numbers with that person.
|
|
Always meet in a public place that you are familiar
with |
|
For the
first meeting, being in a place you are familiar with (a favorite
Coffee Shop), will make you comfortable and also reduce the
awkwardness of first meetings.
Take your own transport and meet the person at a pre-determined
destination.
Consider everything that this person
has told you previously (online/phone) about him or herself.
If you find out that your date has lied about anything, then
perhaps you need to reconsider this match.
All things
said, it is up to you to find out the Life Partner of Your
Dreams safely through NepalMatrimonial.com and always "listen
to your mind in matters of your heart".
