3. Attraction
If you fall in love only after talking to him/her by mail or messenger, that does not mean that you will share the same feeling when you see each other face to face. Attraction is an essential factor in a relationship. Once you feel comfortable online, scheduling a face to face meeting is completely recommendable.

10. Remember to be realistic
Maybe a complicated mechanism of the website will indicate that you are 100% compatible, but be careful not to take the veil! If you look at all the "details" presented in his/her profile, probably under 50% of the information will really match.
And finally, the most important advice: make sure you are safe and not disclose your personal information to anyone (phone number, address, even email address).
