When you meet a stranger in real life, you follow certain precautions. It is not customary to invite strangers to your home, nor is it customary to give the first person you meet your residential address or contact phone number. You can’t be too careful in online dating, either.
Do not tell strangers, the man you have just met your contact information: phone number, email address, social media accounts, Skype login. Get to know each other better, get to know each other better, using the opportunity of correspondence on the dating site, and when you realize that you would like to continue getting to know this person, give them your contact information.
Why should you refrain from sending your contact information to a stranger in the first email?
Your data can be used to create a database, send spam emails or you will give them to a person who will not want to leave you alone, accept rejection, after your acquaintance did not take place. You can meet a seemingly interesting man online, exchange a few messages with him and realize within a couple of hours of meeting him that he’s not right for you, you have different ideas about relationships, different goals. The acquaintance will be over, but if you previously gave him your contact information, he will still have your information. Whether he will delete it or use it for other purposes is unknown. Don’t give your contact information to strangers in the first message.
